English ZONE 2 You can make up a multi-room audio-video system with this unit. With this feature, you can set this unit to reproduce separate input sources in the main room and in a second (Zone 2) room using the supplied remote control in the second room. Only analog signals are sent to the second room. For any source you wish to listen to in the second room, you must connect the analog output from the source to the corresponding analog input on this unit. Connections To use the multi-room functions of this unit, you need several additional components: • Since there are so many ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-room installation, we recommend that you consult with a custom installation specialist for the Zone 2 connections which will best meet your requirements. • Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE OUT jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to use an infrared emitter. Up to six Yamaha components can be connected as shown.

Therefore, if you attempt to send the DTS signal to Zone 2, you will only be able to hear the digital noise sound that could damage your loudspeakers. Due to this characteristic of DTS encoded discs, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made. For DTS encoded LDs or DVDs Only 2-channel audio signals may be sent to Zone 2, as follows: • LDs - Set your Laser Disc player's left and right outputs to the analog sound track. • DVDs - Use the disc menu to set the DVD player's mixed 2-channel left and right audio outputs to PCM or Dolby Digital. For DTS encoded compact discs DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with DTS encoded compact discs. 55
