Connections
Connecting an Integrated Amplifier (ZONE 3)
You can enjoy 2 ch audio in the separate room (ZONE 3) while performing
playback in the main room (where this unit is located). Use an analog audio
cable to connect the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT jack on this unit to the input jack
on an integrated amplifier in the separate room. The same source can be played
back in the main room and ZONE 3 simultaneously. Also, different sources can
be played back in both rooms.
To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 3,
use an analog audio cable for connection. Note that ZONE 3 output is not
possible with the connection using a HDMI cable, digital coaxial cable, or
digital optical cable.
Setup
This function can be used when any of the combinations among 2.1 ch,
3.1 ch, 4.1 ch, 5.1 ch, 2.1.2 ch*, 3.1.2 ch*, 4.1.2 ch* and 5.1.2 ch* in "Speaker
combinations" (

) is used.
* With these speaker combinations, this function cannot be used when using
Bi-AMP or ZONE 2 (ZONE SPEAKER).
(For North American models only) However, when a power amplifier is
connected to the ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT jacks, it is possible to use ZONE 2
(ZONE SPEAKER) and ZONE 3 (ZONE SPEAKER).
• When connecting the power amplifier, set "Multi Zone" - "Zone 3" - "Output
Level" (
p149
) to "Variable" on the System Setup menu. If it is not set,
a large volume is output and the power amplifier, speakers, etc. may be
