may unwantedly operate those components
simultaneously. In this case, set one of the alternative

This unit allows you to configure a multi-room audio and video system. The Zone 2 feature enables you to set this unit to

reproduce separate input sources in the main room and in Zone 2 (the second room) simultaneously. You can also control
this unit from the second room using the Zone 2 remote control (sold separately).

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-room system of this unit:

• Zone 2 remote control
