FAQ:

Q: What does multi zone mean in home theater receivers?

A: Multi-zone is a function that allows a home theater receiver to send a second, third, or fourth source signal to speakers or separate audio systems in different locations. This is not the same as connecting additional speakers and placing those speakers in another room, nor is it the same as wireless multi-room audio.

Q: What is a 2 zone receiver?

A: What Zone 2 Is. On a home theater receiver, the Zone 2 feature allows a second source signal to be sent to speakers or a separate audio system in another location. This adds more flexibility than just connecting additional speakers and placing them in another room, as with an A/B speaker switch.

AV receivers may also be known as digital audio-video receivers or digital media renderers.

Inputs may come from a satellite receiver, radio,…
