Playing back music in multiple rooms (multi-zone)
The multi-zone function allows you to play back different input sources in the room where the
unit is installed (Main zone) and in another room (Zone2).
For example, while you are watching TV in the living room (Main zone), another person can
listen to radio in the study room (Zone2).
Y
Digital and analog audio sources (including FM/AM/DAV radio), and Bluetooth, USB, and network sources can be
output to Zone2. To listen to the playback of an external device in Zone2, you need to connect the device to the
AUDIO jacks (AV 1-2 or AUDIO 1-5 jacks) of the unit. The party mode (p.95) allows you to play back the same audio
output in Main zone as Zone2, whatever the input audio signal type.
Preparing Zone2
Connect the device that will be used in Zone2 to the unit. The connection method varies
depending on the amplifier being used (the unit or an external amplifier).
Using the unit’s internal amplifier
Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 to the unit with speaker cables. For details, see
“Connecting Zone2 speakers” (p.27).
Using an external amplifier
Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 to the unit with a stereo pin cable.
X
You can adjust the volume for Zone2 output with the unit. When using an external amplifier with volume control,
set “Volume” (p.128) in the “Setup” menu to “Fixed”.
Caution
Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting speakers or an external
amplifier.
Ensure that the bare wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with
the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short
circuit, “Check SP Wires” will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
