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 other rooms (Zone2 and Zone3). For
example, while you are watching TV in the living room (main zone), another person can
listen to PC music in the study room, and another can listen to radio in the guest room
(Zone3).
You can select the following input sources for Zone2 and Zone3:
• Audio sources input from the HDMI or digital audio input jacks cannot be output to Zone2 and Zone3.
• AirPlay is available in Zone2 and Zone3 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 7.2-channel speaker system in the main zone and
2-channel speaker system in Zone2 simultaneously. (When Zone2 output is disabled,
you can use the 9.2-channel speaker system in the main zone.)
For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual in the supplied CD-ROM.
