Playing back music in multiple rooms (multi-zone)
En

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).
• Since there are many possible ways to use the unit in a multi-zone configuration,
we recommend that you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or
service center about the multi-zone connections that best meet your
requirements.
• 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 AUDIO jacks of the unit. The party mode
(p.82) allows you to play back the same audio output in main zone as Zone2,
whatever the input audio signal type.
Preparing Zone2
Connect the device that will be used in Zone2 to the unit. The
connection method varies depending on the amplifier being used
(the unit or an external amplifier).
■
Using the unit’s internal amplifier
Connect the speakers placed in Zone2 to the unit with speaker
cables. For details, see “Connecting Zone2 speakers” (p.22).

Caution
• Remove the unit’s power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting
speakers or an external amplifier.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or
come into contact with the unit’s metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit
or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit, “Check SP Wires” will
appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
