Some speaker terminals may provide more than one channel option (not at the same time, though). For example,
if you want to accommodate a different type of speaker setup—such as for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro 3D Audio,
or a powered 2nd Zone—refer to the added illustrations in the user manual to find out which terminals to use and
how to assign each correctly.
In addition to connecting the correct speaker channel, make sure the polarity (+ -) is correct. Red is positive (+),
and black is negative (-). If the polarity is reversed, the speakers will be out-of-phase, resulting in inaccurate
surround sound and poor low-frequency reproduction.
Zone 2 Speaker Connections and Analog Audio Outputs

On home theater receivers that offer it, the Zone 2 feature allows a second source signal to be sent to speakers
or a separate audio system in another room through a wired or cable connection.

Zone 2 functionality allows you to watch a Blu-ray Disc or DVD movie with surround sound in the main room
while someone else listens to a CD player, AM/FM radio, or a two-channel source in another room at the same
time. The source components are connected to the receiver and are accessed and controlled separately with the
receiver’s remote.
