ZONE 2 ZONE 2 Connecting the Zone 2 components This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio and video system. The Zone 2 feature enables you to set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room and in Zone 2 (the second room) simultaneously. You can also control this unit from the second room using the supplied Zone 2 remote control. You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room system of this unit: • An infrared signal receiver for the second room. • An infrared emitter for the main room. This emitter transmits the infrared signals sent by the Zone 2 remote control in Zone 2 to the components in the main room. • An amplifier and speakers for the second room. • A video monitor for the second room. y Some YAMAHA models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE OUT jack on the rear panel of this unit.
