Using the multi-zone function
You can listen to the sound in a separate room by making
the Zone connection (analog) between the unit and an
integrated amplifier placed in the separate room.
You can use a Blu-ray Disc player in the main room in
which the unit is placed, while receiving AM/FM broadcast
in the separate room. Audio can be played in the main
room and the separate room simultaneously, or only in the
separate room.
The sources you can enjoy in the separate room are the
players connected to the analog audio input jacks of the
unit, and AM/FM broadcast.
When listening to AM/FM broadcasting, you cannot
select different stations for the main room and separate
room. Therefore broadcasting of the same station will be
heard in the both rooms.
Connecting with Player
To use a Blu-ray Disc player or other players as the source
of Zone audio output, it is necessary to connect the RCA
audio output jacks of the player and the analog audio input
jacks of the unit using the analog audio (RCA) cable.
AUDIO
OUT
Zone audio output is not possible if the player and the unit
are connected only via HDMI cable or digital cable.
Some players require analog audio output setting.
Making multi-zone connection
Connect the ZONE 2 LINE OUT jacks of the unit and the
line-in jacks of the pre-main amplifier in a separate room
with an analog audio (RCA) cable.

If ZONE 2 is on, power consumption during standby
becomes larger than normal.
While ZONE 2 is on, the RI linked system function
(interlink between Onkyo components) is disabled.
