Preparing the multi zone system
Connect the device that will be used in other rooms to the unit.
Caution
• Remove the unit's power cable from the AC wall outlet before connecting speakers or an external
amplifier.
• Ensure that the core wires of the speaker cable do not touch one another or come into contact with the
unit's metal parts. Doing so may damage the unit or the speakers. If the speaker cables short circuit,
"Check SP Wires" will appear on the front display when the unit is turned on.
