ANTENNA AM LOOP FM UNBAL 75 VIDEO IN MULTI-ZONE setup This receiver can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. Different sources can be playing in three zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls. Making MULTI-ZONE connections It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV, subwoofer and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub zone, and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the speaker terminals for your primary sub zone (For detail, see MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page 32). There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you. LINE LEVEL INPUT AUDIO IN RL 2 1 ZONE 2 OUT SUBWOOFER ZONE 2 OUT SUBWOOFER 31
