Playing back music in multiple rooms

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).

Two methods for connecting the device that will be used in Zone2 to the unit are available; using the unit’s internal amplifier or using an external amplifier. When using an external amplifier, you can select 7.1/5.1.2-channel speaker system in Main zone.

NOTE
  • Digital and analog audio sources (including FM/AM radio), 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, AUDIO 1-5 or PHONO jacks) of the unit.
  • “Main Zone Sync” allows you to play back the same audio output in Main zone as Zone2. When “Main Zone Sync” is selected as the Zone2 input, the Zone2 input automatically switches in conjunction with the input source selected in the main zone.
  • The party mode allows you to play back the same audio output in Main zone as Zone2, whatever the input audio signal type. Multichannel sources are mixed down to 2 channels and output to the Zone2. For details on the party mode, see the following:
