Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Zones This section describes how to connect speakers in the two zones to support the different scenarios. Before you read this section, Kenwood recommends reading "Connecting Making Connections Your Speakers" on page 4 of this manual. In addition, this section discusses how to connect a second TV/Monitor and how to connect an IR Receiver and IR Repeaters. Scenario 1: Surround Sound in Zone A only/Stereo in Zone A and Stereo in Zone B (Using the Receiver's Speaker B Outputs) RECEIVER A FRONT SPEAKERS B (6-16Ω) ZONE A R L ZONE B LEFT SPEAKER RIGHT SPEAKER The five amplifiers built into the receiver meet your sound needs for both zones. The built-in amplifiers allow you to listen to full surround sound if you are listening in Zone A only, or stereo in Zone A if both zones are active. You will always hear stereo in Zone B. Make the speaker connections as shown in the illustration under "To Connect Front and Surround Sound Speakers:" on page 5, being sure to also connect the Zone B speakers to the SPEAKER B binding post. 47 Multiple Zones Scenario 2: Surround Sound in Zone A and Stereo in Zone B (Using a Stereo Amplifier in Zone B) ZONE A RECEIVER VIDEO R L SUB WOOFER CENTER R ZONE B PRE OUT DIGITAL OUT COMPONENT VIDEO Y ZONE B Power Amp LEFT SPEAKER 2-CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER RIGHT SPEAKER You use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B.

Both Scenarios: Connecting a Second TV/ Monitor If you plan to watch movies, or any other visual entertainment activity in Zone B, you must connect an additional TV/Monitor. To do so, connect a standard composite video cable from the Zone B TV to the ZONE B PRE OUT VIDEO jack. The above is possible only when the composite signals are input.
