Getting Started Setup Playback Remote Control Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
ENGLISH
Multi Zone
ZONE2 or ZONE3 Pre-out Connections
• If another power amplifier or pre-main (integrated) amplifier is connected, the ZONE2 or ZONE3 pre-out 
(variable or fixed level) connectors can be used to play a different program source in ZONE2 or ZONE3 
the same time (vpage 73 ~ 77).
• When using a component video cable to connect the AVR-4308 and input device, connect the ZONE2 
monitor output to the component video connectors. When using an S-Video cable or a video cable, please 
connect the cable to the video connectors.
• The ZONE2 video out is only for ZONE2.

NOTE
• For the audio output, use high quality pin-plug cords so that no induction humming or noise is produced.
• For  instructions  on  installing  and  operating  separately  sold  devices,  refer  to  the  respective  devices’ 
operating instructions.
• To conduct multi-zone playback, see “Amp Assign / Multi-Zone Connections and Operations” (vpage 
73 ~ 77).
External Controller
• When using in combination with an RF Remote Controller (RC-7000CI, sold separately) or RF Remote 
Receiver  (RC-7001RCI,  sold  separately)  two-way  communication  with  an  RF  Remote  Controller  is 
possible.
  The AVR-4308’s status information as well as iPod and Internet audio music files can be browsed watching 
the  RF  Remote  Controller’s  display.  For  details,  refer  to  the  operating  instructions  of  the  respective 
devices.
• When used in combination with an RF Remote Controller or RF Remote Receiver, make the settings at 
GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “2Way Remote” – “Used” (vpage 37).
RS-232C connector
This connector is used for an external controller.
b  If  you  wish  to  control  the  AVR-4308  from 
an  external  controller  using  the  RS-232C 
connector,  perform  the  operation  below 
beforehand.
q Turn the AVR-4308’s power.
w Turn  off  the  AVR-4308’s  power  from  the 
external controller.
e Check  that  the  AVR-4308  is  in  the  standby 
mode.
Trigger output jacks
The  power  of  an  external  device  equipped  with 
a  trigger  input  jack can  be  turned  on  and  off  in 
association with operations on the AVR-4308. For 
details, see GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option 
Setup”  –  “Trigger  Out  1”  or  “Trigger  Out  2” 
(vpage 37).
• Output level: 150 mA/12 V
Check  the  trigger  input  conditions  of  the 
connected device.
• If the trigger input level of the connected device 
is  higher  than  150 mA/12 V  and  depending  on 
the  short-circuiting  conditions,  the  AVR-4308’s 
protection circuit may be activated, in which case 
“TRIGGER PROTECT” appears on the display. If 
this happens, turn off the AVR-4308’s power and 
disconnect the connected device.
