CHAPTER 5
Zone 2 Operation
If you have a pair of speakers in a
second room or area (Zone 2), they
can play a stereo source independent
of whatever is playing in the Home
Theater room (Main Zone). You can
also play the same source as selected
in the Main Zone.
The Zone 2 speakers can be pow-
ered by two of the TGR-401's internal
ampli¿ ers, if you enable "Powered Z2"
in the Binding Posts menu. The ampli-
¿ ers that power the surround-back
speakers are switched to play the
Zone 2 speakers instead. An external
power ampli¿ er can be used to power
the Zone 2 speakers.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is
unaffected by the DSP, Sonic Hologra-
phy, surround modes or bass man-
agement.
Audio Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are
shown on page 23.
Note: Zone 2 can play analog
sources independent of what is play-
ing in the Main Zone. It cannot play
from a digital-only source unless that
input is selected and playing in the
Main Zone. To play a source such as
a DVD player in Zone 2 independent
of the Main Zone, make sure you
connect the player's L-R analog audio
output to the TGR-401.
Video Connections
Zone 2 has a composite video
output that can connect to a video
monitor in your other room. This will
only play if the selected source also
has composite video.
Indicators
The front panel has
a green LED to show
the Zone 2 status.
This LED is always on
when Zone 2 is on. If
it is off, there will be
no output to Zone 2.
Turning on Zone 2
With the remote set to operate the
TGR-401, press the ZONE 2 button.
The remote's POWER, VOLUME and
MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2.
Note: Zone 2 can also be turned
on and adjusted without using the
remote. Press the Zone 2 button on
the TGR-401 front panel followed by
Power to turn it on (or off), or adjust
the input source or volume. After 8
seconds of inactivity, the front panel
will revert back to control of the Main
Zone.
Zone 2 operations will work even if
the Main Zone is off.
