Multi Zone In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And, you can select a different source for each room. Making Multi Zone Connections There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers: 1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver. 2. Connect them to an additional amplifier. Connecting the Zone Speakers Directly to the AV receiver This setup allows you to select different sources for Main room and Zone 2/3. This is called Powered Zone, as the Zone 2/3 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. To use this setup, you must activate the Powered Zone 2/3 setting (➔ page 47). Main room Note • With this setup, the volume of Zone 2/3 is controlled by the AV receiver. • Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if "Speakers Type (Front)" is set to "Bi-Amp" (➔ page 47). • "Powered Zone 3" can only be used when "Powered Zone 2" is set to "Yes". • When Powered Zone 2 is used, listening modes that require front wide or surround back speakers are unavailable. • When Powered Zone 3 is used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1 channels. Connecting the Zone Speakers to an Additional Amplifier This setup allows 9.1-channel playback in your main listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2/3.
