PLAYBACK ➤ Playing back videos/audio in multiple rooms (multi-zone) En 98
Preparing the multi zone system
Connect the device that will be used in other rooms to the unit.
■ Connecting speakers to play back audio
Connect speakers to play back audio in Zone2 or Zone3. The connection method
varies depending on the amplifier being used (the unit or an external amplifier).
❑ Using the unit’s internal amplifier
Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with speaker cables. For
details, see “Connecting Zone2/3 speakers” (p.32).
❑ Using an external amplifier
Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with a stereo pin
cable and connect speakers to the external amplifier.
• (RX-A3040 only)
You cannot use an external amplifier for Zone2 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are set to output front
presence channel audio in “Power Amp Assign” (p.124) in the “Setup” menu. Also, you cannot use an
external amplifier for Zone3 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are configured to output rear presence
channel audio.
Caution
• Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting speakers or an external
amplifier.
• Ensure that the core 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.
