MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two (VSX-9040TXH)/three (VSX-9140TXH) independent systems in separate rooms after you
have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. An example MULTI-ZONE setup is shown below, but the number of
MULTI-ZONE connections (and the way you choose to connect them) depends on how you want to set up your system.
Different sources can be playing in two (VSX-9040TXH)/
three (VSX-9140TXH) zones at the same time or,
depending on your needs, the same source can also be
used. The main and sub zone(s) have independent power
(the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the
sub zone(s) is on) and the sub zone(s) can be controlled
by the remote or front panel controls. However, you may
need to specify th
e volume settings in ZONE Aud
io Setup
on page 95.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub
zone (and a separate amplifier
1
(and speakers) for your
secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone (VSX-9140TXH only)). You
will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the
MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on
page 34 for your primary sub zone. There are two primary
sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose
whichever works best for you.
