      Sound is output from the TV speakers and the speakers connected to the receiver.

    • Zone2 AMP: Recommended setting when another amplifier is connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack.
      Sound is output from the another amplifier connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack.
      Sound is not output from the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) or SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2) terminals and the ZONE 2 AUDIO OUT jacks.

Note

  • You can only configure this setting only when [HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone2].
  • When a video device (projector, etc.) is connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack, sound may not be output from the receiver. In this case, set [Zone2 Audio Out] to [AMP].
  • When a TV which does not support audio content protection is connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack, specific audio may not be output from the receiver. In this case, set [Zone2 Audio Out] to [AMP].
  • When [Zone2 Audio Out] is set to [Zone2 TV + AMP] or [AMP], audio signals will be downmixed. The following restrictions apply to downmixing.
    • If you change the sound field or speaker settings in the main zone while the input for Zone 2 is set to SOURCE or the same input is selected in the main zone and Zone 2, the sound may also be momentarily interrupted in Zone 2.
    • The D.L.L. function does not work in the main zone.
    • The volume level of sound from the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) or SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2) terminals and the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack may be different from sound that is not downmixed.
  • No sound will be output to Zone 2 if you play a DTS-CD with different HDMI inputs selected in the main zone and Zone 2.
  • You cannot remedy the time gap between video output on the TV connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack and audio output from the speaker connected to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) or SPEAKERS HEIGHT 1 (ZONE 2) terminals using the A/V Sync function.
