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
• With speaker combinations "Speaker combinations" (
p212
) 2.1.2 ch,
3.1.2 ch, 4.1.2 ch, or 5.1.2 ch, this function cannot be used when using Bi-
AMP or ZONE 2 (ZONE SPEAKER). 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 an Integrated Amplifier that has an external volume control,
set "Multi Zone" - "Zone 3" - "Output Level" (
p153
) to "Fixed (Default
Value)" on the System Setup. If your external Integrated Amplifier does not
have an external volume control please set this at "Variable". If you do not set
this, the volume output will be very loud and there is a danger of damage to
the integrated amplifier, speakers, etc.
Note
• ZONE 3 PRE/LINE OUT cannot be used when the connected speaker
configuration is "6.1 ch", "7.1 ch", "6.1.2 ch", "7.1.2 ch", "4.1.4 ch", "5.1.4 ch",
"6.1.4 ch", or "7.1.4 ch".
