Quick Guide for Useful Functions
What is the multi-zone function?
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).
You can select the following input sources for Zone2:
• Audio sources input from the HDMI or digital audio input jacks cannot be output to Zone2.
• AirPlay is available in Zone2 only when Airplay playback is ongoing in the main zone.
This guide explains how to set up a Zone2 system using the unit’s internal amplifier.
This will enable you to use the 5.1-channel speaker system in the main zone and
2-channel speaker system in Zone2 simultaneously. (When Zone2 output is disabled,
you can use the 7.1-channel speaker system in the main zone.)
For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual in the supplied CD-ROM.

■Connections
1Connect the speaker in Zone2 to the EXTRA SP terminals with
speaker cables.
The type of the speaker terminals varies depending on the model.
2Connect the playback devices (such as BD/DVD players and CD
players) in the main zone to the analog stereo input jacks with stereo
pin cables.
Only analog audio sources (including FM/AM radio), and 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 analog audio input jacks.
3Connect the power cable to an AC wall outlet.
To operate the unit and external devices from Zone2
You can operate the unit and external devices from Zone2 using the supplied remote
control if you connect an infrared signal receiver/emitter to the unit’s REMOTE IN/OUT
jacks. For details, refer to the Owner's Manual in the supplied CD-ROM.
Caution
• Before connecting the speakers, remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch each other or come into contact with the
unit’s metal areas. This may damage the unit or the speakers.
• Connect the speakers with the correct polarity.
