PLAYBACK ➤ Playing back videos/audio in multiple rooms (multi-zone) En 99
■ Connecting a video monitor to play back analog videos
Connect a video monitor to watch analog videos at Zone2 or Zone3. Depending on the
video input jacks available on your video monitor, choose one of the video connection
methods.
• The video conversion between the analog video jacks does not work for multi-zone video output. To watch
videos played back on a video device on the zone video monitor, you need to connect the video monitor to
the unit in the same way as the video device. For example, if you want to watch videos input from the DVD
player via a component video cable, connect the video monitor to the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT
(COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks with a component video cable.
• On-screen operations are not available for Zone3 when “HDMI OUT2 Assign” (p.138) in the “Setup” menu
is set to “Zone2”.
To assign the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT jacks to the video monitor for Zone2 or
Zone3, set “Monitor Out Assign” (p.137) in the “Setup” menu to “Zone2” or “Zone3”.
■ Connecting an HDMI-compatible device to play back
videos/audio
Connect an HDMI-compatible device (such as a TV) to play back videos/audio at
Zone2 or Zone4. If you connect an AV amplifier, you can enjoy multi-channel playback
in another room (Zone4).
• To watch videos played back on a video device at Zone2 or Zone4, you need to connect the video device to
the unit with an HDMI cable (p.38).
• We recommend that you disable HDMI Control on the playback devices connected to the unit.
• On-screen operations are not available for Zone4.
To assign the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack to Zone2 or Zone4, set
“HDMI OUT2 Assign”
(p.138)
in the “Setup” menu to “Zone2” or “Zone4”.
