Playing Back Music In Multiple Rooms (Multi-Zone); Multi-Zone Configuration Examples - Yamaha AVENTAGE RX-A1040 Owner's Manual

Playing back music in multiple rooms (multi-zone)

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).
• Video/audio signals that can be output to Zone2 vary depending on how you connect the device in
Zone2 to the unit's output jacks. For details, see "Multi-zone output" (p.147).
• Since there are many possible ways to use the unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that
you consult with your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the multi-zone
connections that best meet your requirements.
