Zone 2 and Zone 3
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in two other rooms, or as we call them, Zone 2
and Zone 3. And, you can select a different source for each room.
There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
This setup allows 5.1-channel playback in your main
room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2, with a
different source in each room. This is called Powered
Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV
receiver. Note that when Powered Zone 2 is turned off,
you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback in your main room.
Hookup
•
Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the AV receiver’s
ZONE 2 L/R speaker terminals.
Notes:
•
With this setup, the Zone
2 volume is controlled by the
AV receiver.
•
Powered Zone 2 cannot be used if “Speaker Type:
Front(Speaker A)” is set to “Bi-Amp” or “BTL”, or
“Speaker Type: Front(Speaker B)” is set to “Normal”,
“Bi-Amp”, or “BTL” (page 61).
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers to an
Amp in Zone 2
This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main lis-
tening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2,
with a different source in each room.

ZONE 2 PRE OUT L/R jacks to an analog audio input
on your Zone 2 amp.
•
Connect your Zone 2 speakers to the speaker termi-
nals on your Zone 2 amp.
Note:
With the default settings, the Zone 2 volume must be set
on the Zone 2 amp. If your Zone 2 amp has no volume
control, set the “Zone2 Out” setting to “Variable” so that
you can set the Zone 2 volume on the AV receiver (see
page 133).

Front(Speaker B)” setting to “Not Use” (see
page 61), and set the “Powered Zone 2” setting to
