Connecting speakers to play back audio

Connect speakers to play back audio in Zone2 or Zone3. The connection method varies

depending on the amplifier being used (the unit or an external amplifier).

Using the unit’s internal amplifier

“Connecting Zone2/3 speakers” (p.39).

Using an external amplifier

Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 or Zone3 to the unit with a stereo pin cable and

(RX-A3070 only)

You cannot use an external amplifier for Zone2 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are set to output front

presence channel audio in “Power Amp Assign” (p.142) in the “Setup” menu. Also, you cannot use an external

amplifier for Zone3 when the ZONE OUT/PRE OUT jacks are configured to output rear presence channel audio.

You can adjust the volume for Zone2 and Zone3 output with the unit. When using an external amplifier with

volume control, set “Volume” (p.156) in the “Setup” menu to “Fixed”.
