SURR MCACC RECEIVER S.DIRECT Different sources can be playing in three zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used (however, if iPod, HOME MEDIA GALLERY (VSX-94TXH only), XM or SIRIUS Radio is selected in the main zone, it cannot also be selected in the sub zone). 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. However, you may need to specify the volume settings in ZONE Audio Setup on page 69. Making MULTI-ZONE connections It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub zone, and a separate amplifier1 (and speakers) for your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the Surround Back System setup (see below) for your primary sub zone. There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you. MULTI-ZONE listening options The following table shows what you can listen to in each sub zone: Sub Zone ZONE2 ZONE3 Input sources available iPod, XM or SIRIUS Radio, the built-in tuner and other analog audio sources.a With video sources, only composite video is possible. Please note that the XM/SIRIUS Radio function is not available for sub zone (ZONE2) listening when using the MULTI-ZONE feature with the VSX-92TXH. Only digital audio sources (the input source must already be assigned using the The Input Setup menu on page 67) are available. a.With the MULTI CH IN input, sound is output only from the front L/R channels. Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2) 1 Connect a separate amplifier to the MULTI-ZONE & SOURCE OUT jacks and a TV monitor to the MULTIZONE & SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks, both on the rear of this receiver. You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub zone amplifier as shown in the following illustration.
