What you can do with multi-zone features
- Listening in two locations ― Zone 2
You can enjoy audio at the same time in another room by connecting the speakers that are located in another room to the SPEAKERS ZONE 2 terminals. For example, you can listen to the same music from an AV device located in the living room in both the living room and kitchen, or watch a movie in the living room while music from a different device is played in the kitchen.
The volume can be adjusted separately for each room.
Hint
- Connect one more receiver or amplifier in Zone 2 to the ZONE 2 OUT jacks to enjoy more powerful sound in Zone 2.
- Listening in three locations ― Zone 2 + Zone 3
In addition to Zone 2, you can enjoy music at the same time in a third room by connecting the speakers located in the third room to the SPEAKERS SURROUND/ZONE 3 terminals. For example, audio from an AV device placed in a living room can be played in the kitchen and a terrace at the same time, or different content can be played in each of the three rooms.
The volume can be adjusted separately for each room.
- HDMI zone
You can enjoy movies and music in another room by connecting a TV or different AV receiver located in another room to the HDMI OUT B/HDMI ZONE jack. For example, movies or music from an AV device located in the living room can be played at high quality in a bedroom.
Note
- There are restrictions on the audio sources that can be used in Zone 2/3 or the HDMI zone. For details, see “Available inputs for each zone.”
