TX-8470 Multi-Zone

You can enjoy 2 ch audio in the separate room (ZONE 2) while performing playback in the main room (where this unit is located). The same source can be played back in the main room and ZONE 2 simultaneously.

Using Onkyo Controller ( →p33) is convenient for operations of multi-zone playback. You can use it on mobile devices, such as a smartphone and tablet to which Onkyo Controller (available on iOS or Android™) has been downloaded.

• To output audio from an externally connected AV component to ZONE 2, use an analog audio cable for connection. Note that ZONE 2 output is not possible with the connection using an HDMI cable, digital coaxial cable, or digital optical cable
• You can only select the same source for the main room and separate room with the "NET" and "BLUETOOTH" input selectors. Furthermore, if you have "NET" selected in the main room and you then select "BLUETOOTH" in the separate room, the main room will also switch to "BLUETOOTH".
• It is not possible to select different stations in the main room and separate room with AM/FM broadcasts. (North American models)
• DSD audio signals cannot be output to ZONE 2 with the "NET" input selector.
• If ZONE 2 is on, power consumption during standby will increase.
• This function turns off if you use "Transmitting audio from this unit to Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices" ( →p42).

Turning ZONE 2 On/Off
1. Press REMOTE MODE ZONE 2 once on the remote controller.
• The remote controller switches to the mode for controlling ZONE 2.
2. Press ON/STANDBY on the remote controller. "Z2" lights in the main unit display when ZONE 2 turns on. To turn ZONE 2 off, repeat the same procedure.

                                   

• When connecting an integrated amplifier that does not have a volume control, in the Setup menu, set "Zone 2 Output Level" ( →p78) to "Variable". If you do not set this, the volume output will be very loud and there is a danger of  damage to the integrated amplifier, speakers, etc.
• To control on the main unit, after pressing the ZONE 2 button on the main unit, turn the VOLUME dial to adjust the volume.
