Making MULTI-ZONE connections
Equipment connected to this receiver in a different room (sub zone) from a room with this receiver (main zone)
can be played by operating this receiver (multi-zone function). Not only can the same source be played simultane-
ously in the main and sub zones, different sources can also be played.
By preparing a different amplifier with a HDMI input terminal in the sub zone, the other amplifier and TV monitor
can be connected to this receiver. When there is no other amplifier, the speaker terminal of this receiver can be
used. High resolution via HDMI can be enjoyed in the sub zone (
HDZONE
function).
