Zone 2
In addition to your main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in the other room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you
can select a different source for each room.
There are two ways you can connect Zone 2 speakers:
1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.
2. Connect them to an amp in Zone 2.
Connecting Your Zone 2 Speakers Directly
to the AV receiver
On the TX-SR507, this setup allows 2.1-channel
playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo
playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.
On the TX-SR577, this setup allows 5.1-channel
playback in your main room and 2-channel stereo
playback in Zone 2, with a different source in each room.
This is called Powered Zone 2, as the Zone 2 speakers
are powered by the AV receiver. Note that when Powered
Zone 2 is turned off, you can enjoy 7.1-channel playback
in your main room.

ZONE 2 SPEAKERS L/R speaker terminals.
