Using multi-zone configuration: Yamaha RX-V663 Black

USING MULTI-ZONE CONFIGURATION

Using multi-zone configuration

This unit allows you to configure a multi-zone audio system. The Zone 2 feature allows you to set this unit to reproduce

separate input sources in the main zone and the second zone (Zone 2). You can control this unit from the second zone

using the supplied remote control.

Only analog signals are sent to the second zone. Any source you want to listen to in the second zone must be

connected to the analog AUDIO IN jacks of this unit.

Connecting Zone 2

You need the following additional equipment to use the multi-zone functions of this unit:

An infrared signal receiver in the second zone.

An infrared signal emitter in the main zone. This emitter transmits the infrared signals from the remote control via the

infrared signal receiver in the second zone to a CD player or a DVD player, etc. in the main zone.

An amplifier and speakers in the second zone.

y

Since there are many possible ways to connect and use this unit in a multi-zone configuration, we recommend that you consult with

your nearest authorized Yamaha dealer or service center about the Zone 2 connections that best meet your requirements.

Some Yamaha models are able to connect directly to the REMOTE jacks of this unit. If you own these products, you may not need to

use an infrared signal emitter. Up to 6 Yamaha components can be connected as shown below.

Important safety notice

The EXTRA SP speaker terminals of this Receiver should not be connected to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or

more than one loudspeaker per channel.

Connection to a Passive Loudspeaker Selector Box or multiple speakers per channel could create an abnormally low

impedance load resulting in amplifier damage. See this owner’s manual for correct usage.

Compliance with minimum speaker impedance information for all channels must be maintained at all times. This

information is found on the back panel of your Receiver.

Connect the speakers in the second zone to the EXTRA SP speaker terminals and then set the “EXTRA SP ASSIGN” to

“ZONE2” (see page 76).
