Connecting your equipment
MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three indepen-
dent systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zones have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while one (or both)
of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can
be controlled by the remote or front panel
controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if
you have a separate TV and speakers for your
primary (ZONE 2) sub zone, and a separate TV
and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your
secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone. You will also
need a separate amplifier if you are not using
the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals
(ZONE 2) on page 23 for your primary sub zone.
There are two primary sub zone setups possible
with this system. Choose whichever works best
for you.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can
be output to ZONE 2 and ZONE 3:
