The multi-zone function allows you to play back separate input
sources in the room where this unit is installed (main zone) and
other rooms (Zone2, Zone3 and Zone4).
For example, while you are watching a TV in the living room (main
zone), another person can listen to radio in the bedroom (Zone2),
and another can listen to PC music in the study room (Zone3) and
play CD music in the guest room (Zone4).
• Since there are many possible ways to use this unit in a multi-zone configuration,
we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or
service center about the multi-zone connections that best meet your
requirements.
• Only analog audio signals (including radio, USB and network sources) can be
output to Zone2 or Zone3. To listen to playback sounds of an external device in
Zone2 or Zone3, you need to connect the device to the AUDIO jacks of this unit
with a stereo pin cable. The party mode (p.95) allows you to enjoy main zone
sources in all zones simultaneously regardless of input audio signal types.
• Only digital audio signals can be output to Zone4. To listen to playback sounds of
an external device in Zone4, you need to connect the device to the OPTICAL or
COAXIAL jack of this unit with a corresponding audio cable.
Preparing for Zone2, Zone3 or Zone4

■ Using the internal amplifier of this unit
