Multi Zone
In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy 
playback in the other room, or as we call Multi Zone. And, 
you can select a different source for each room.
There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an additional amplifier.
Connecting Your Zone Speakers Directly to 
the AV receiver
This setup allows you to select different sources for Main 
room and Zone 2/3. This is called Powered Zone, as the 
Zone 2/3 speakers are powered by the AV receiver.
Note
• With this setup, the volume of Zone 2/3 is controlled by the AV 
receiver.
• When Powered Zone 2 is used, playback in the main room is 
reduced to 5.1 channels.
• When Powered Zone 3 is used, playback in the main room is 
reduced to 3.1 channels.
12V Trigger Out
When Zone 2/3 is turned on, the output from the 12V 
TRIGGER OUT jack goes high (+12 V and max. 150 mA 
for Zone 2, +12 V and max. 25 mA for Zone 3). 
Connecting this jack to a 12-volt trigger input on a 
component in Zone 2/3 will make that component turn on 
or off as the AV receiver turns on or off the Zone 2/3.
Making Multi Zone Connections
To use this setup, you must activate the Powered 
Zone 2/3 setting (➔ page 59).
