Connecting the remote zone (Zone 2) speakers Outline The TX-DS898 allows you to connect another set of speakers and place them in a different room or separated area for listening to music. This other room or area is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2), while the room where the TX-DS898 is located is the main zone. In addition, the IR IN/OUT allows you to control the TX-DS898 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
