What is the multi-zone function?

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).

Study room (Zone2)

Living room (main zone)

You can select the following input sources for Zone2:

• Analog audio input
(AV 5–6, AUDIO 1–2, V-AUX [RX-A820 only])

• TUNER (FM/AM radio)

• USB (including iPod)

• Audio sources input from the HDMI or digital audio input jacks cannot be output to Zone2.

• AirPlay is available in Zone2 only when Airplay playback is ongoing in the main zone.

This guide explains how to set up a Zone2 system using the unit’s internal amplifier.

This will enable you to use the 5.1-channel speaker system in the main zone and
2-channel speaker system in Zone2 simultaneously. (When Zone2 output is disabled,
you can use the 7.1-channel speaker system in the main zone.)

For more information, refer to the Owner’s Manual in the supplied CD-ROM.
