Zone 2 Operation
Note: Zone 2 must Þ rst be enabled
using the OSD (see page 36), or it
will not work. Zone 2 can be turned
on even if the Main Zone is off.
If you have a pair of speakers in a
second room or area (Zone 2), they
can play an analog stereo source
independent of what 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 the Receiver's internal Aux
channels, or by an external power
ampliÞ er.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is
unaffected by the Tone controls, DSP,
Holographic Image, surround modes
or bass management.
Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are
shown on page 24. Make sure the
Receiver's Aux channels are set to
Zone 2 (page 41) if you are using
them to power the Zone 2 speakers.
Note: Zone 2 can play analog
sources independent of what
is playing in the Main Zone. It
cannot play from a digital-only source
unless that input is selected and play-
ing in the Main Zone. To play a source
such as a DVD player in Zone 2 inde-
pendant of the Main Zone, make sure
you connect the player's L-R analog
audio output to the Receiver.
Indicators
The front panel
has two LEDs to
show the Zone 2
status:
Zone 2 Power
This LED is
always on when
Zone 2 is on. If
it is off, there will
be no output to the Zone 2 ampli-
Þ er.
Zone 2 Adjust LED
This LED turns on whenever the
Zone 2 source or volume is being
changed. Note: if this is on, then
any adjustments you make of vol-
ume or input, will affect Zone 2, not
the Main Zone.
In addition to these LEDs, the front
panel display will show the input and
volume adjustment.
Turning on Zone 2
Use the On Screen Display in the
Main Zone to check that Zone 2 is
enabled (page 36. This enables the
Zone 2 system, but it still has to be
turned on.
Press the remote's ZONE 2
button. The remote's POWER, VOL-
UME and MUTE buttons then work for
Zone 2. The remote display changes
as follows:
