Enjoying music in multiple rooms

Playing back music in multiple rooms

The multi-zone function allows you to play back different input sources in the room

where the unit is installed (Main zone) and in another room (Zone2).

For example, while you are watching TV in the living room (Main zone), another person

can listen to radio in the study room (Zone2).

Living room (Main zone)

Study room (Zone2)

NOTE

▪ Zone2 can only output analog audio sources (AV 3, AUDIO 2-3, TUNER and AUX).

▪ The party mode allows you to play back the same audio output in Zone2 as in Main zone. For details on

the party mode, see the following:

– “Enjoying the same source in multiple rooms (party mode)” (p.44)

Connecting Zone2 speakers

Connect the device that will be used in Zone2 to the unit.

NOTICE

▪ Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting speakers.

▪ Ensure that the bare wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the

unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit,

“Check SP Wires

” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.

Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 to the unit with speaker cables.

To utilize the SURROUND/ZONE 2/BI-AMP terminals for Zone2 speakers, set “Power

Amp Assign” in the “Setup” menu to “Zone 2” after connecting the power cable to an

AC wall outlet. For details, see the following:

• “Setting your speaker system” (p.91)
