Multiroom Connections
You can use three speaker systems with this amplifiera surround-sound speaker system in your main listening
room, Zone 2: a stereo speaker system in a second room, Zone 3: a stereo speaker system in a third room. The following
examples are based on using the amplifier with the AV controller, DHC-80.1. For more details, see the instruction
manual of the connected component.
Notes:
Please make sure that your AV controller has the multi-zone capability.
Once youve completed multi-zone connections shown below, you must turn on the AV controller and configure it to
enable the multi-zone capability.
If your AV controller has balanced outputs for multiroom versatility, you can also use the balanced inputs on the
amplifier.
