Connecting speakers to play back audio
Connect speakers to play back audio in Zone2. 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”
(
).
Using an external amplifier
Connect the external amplifier placed in Zone2 to
the unit with a stereo pin cable and connect speakers to the external
amplifier.
You can adjust the volume for Zone2 output with the unit.
When using an external amplifier with volume control, set “Volume”
(
) in the “Setup”
menu to “Fixed”.
Connecting a video monitor to
play back analog videos
Connect a video monitor to watch analog videos at Zone2.
Depending on the video input jacks available on your video monitor,
choose one of the video connection methods.
The video conversion between the analog video jacks does not
work for Zone2 video output. To watch videos played back on
a video device on the Zone2 video monitor, you need to connect
the video monitor to the unit in the same way as the video device.
For example, if you want to watch videos input from the DVD player
via a component video cable, connect the video monitor to the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT
(COMPONENT VIDEO) jacks
with a component video cable.
To assign the MONITOR OUT/ZONE OUT jacks to the Zone2 video monitor,
set
Monitor Out Assign in the “Setup”
menu to “Zone2”.
Connecting an HDMI-compatible
device to play back videos/audio
Connect an HDMI-compatible device (such as a TV) to
play back videos/audio at Zone2.
- To watch videos played back on a video device at Zone2,
you need to connect the video device to the unit with an HDMI cable
().
- We recommend that you disable HDMI Control on the
playback devices connected to the unit.
- On-screen operations are not available for Zone2.
To assign the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack to Zone2, set
HDMI OUT2 Assign in the “Setup”
menu to “Zone2”.
- When the HDMI OUT 2 (ZONE OUT) jack is assigned to Zone2,
you can enable/disable the audio output from the HDMI OUT 2 jack
by setting Audio Output in the
“Setup” menu to “On” or “Off” (default).

input source

Operating the unit from Zone2 (remote connection)
You can operate the unit or external devices from Zone2 using
the remote control supplied with each device if you connect an infrared
signal receiver/emitter to the unit’s REMOTE IN/OUT jacks.
(China, Korea, U.K. and Europe models only)
You can operate external devices with the supplied remote control
if you register a remote control code for each device. For details,
refer to “Supplement for Remote Control” on the supplied CD-ROM.
Remote connections between Yamaha products
An infrared signal transmitter is not required if you
are using Yamaha products that support remote connections, as the
unit does. You can transmit remote control signals by connecting the REMOTE IN/OUT jacks
with monaural mini-jack cables and an infrared signal receiver.
