Multi Zone-Continued Connecting Zone 3 There are two ways you can connect Zone 3 speakers: 1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver. 2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 3. Connecting Your Zone 3 Speakers Directly to the AV receiver This setup allows 7.2-channel playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 3, with a different source in each room. This is called Powered Zone 3, as the Zone 3 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 3 is turned off, you can enjoy 9.2-channel playback in your main room. To use this setup, you must set the "Powered Zone3" setting to "Act" (see page 127). Connecting Your Zone 3 Speakers to an Amp in Zone 3 This setup allows 9.2-channel playback in your main listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 3, with a different source in each room. Hookup • Use an RCA audio cable to connect the AV receiver's ZONE 3 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input on your Zone 3 amp. • Connect your Zone 3 speakers to the speaker terminals on your Zone 3 amp. Main room TV Hookup • Connect your Zone 3 speakers to the AV receiver's SURR BACK/ZONE 3 L/R speaker terminals. Main room TV AV receiver Zone 3 R L Notes: • With this setup, the Zone 3 volume is controlled by the AV receiver. • Powered Zone3 cannot be used if "Speakers Type(Front)" is set to "Bi-Amp" (see page 53). AV receiver Zone 3 IN R L Receiver/ integrated amp Note: With the default settings, the Zone 3 volume must be set on the Zone 3 amp. If your Zone 3 amp has no volume control, set the "Zone3 Out" setting to "Variable" so that you can set the Zone 3 volume on the AV receiver (see page 128). Zone 3 12V Trigger When Zone 3 is turned on, the output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT ZONE 3 goes high (+12 volts, 25 milliamperes max). Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a component in Zone 3 will make that component turn on or off as and when Zone 3 is turned on or off on the AV receiver. 126
