What is the multi-zone function?

Preparations

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).

you can use the 7.1-channel speaker system in the main zone.)

unit’s metal areas. This may damage the unit or the speakers.
• Connect the speakers with the correct polarity.
