• Set your tape player to record and adjust the input levels
for the best performance. Once the levels are correct, you
can reset your source to the beginning and make your
recording.
• Do not select another Main Zone input while you are
recording.
Recording to a VCR
Any video source playing in the PT-7010A can be recorded
using the left and right audio and the video outputs. The
VCR will receive a straight copy of the source signal going
in, unaffected by the volume, tone or any surround modes.
• Select the video source and play it through your system.
• Set your VCR to record.
• Do not select another Main Zone source while you are
recording.
• The VID2/MON2 output can also be used for recording,
but first make sure that it is set to VID2 in the VIDEO
menu of the OSD (see page 40). This output will then mute
to prevent feedback whenever the VID2 input source is
selected.
• Do not use the OSD while recording as the incoming
video is shut off while the OSD is displayed
Zone 2 Operation
If you have an amplifier and 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. Multi-channels sources will be
down mixed to stereo, if applicable.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is unaffected by the Tone
controls, DSP, surround modes or bass management.
Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are shown on pages 24-25.
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 playing in the
Main Zone. To play a source such as a DVD or CD player
in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure you
also connect the player’s L-R analog audio output to the
PT-7010A.
Indicators
The front panel has two LED’s 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 amplifier.
Zone 2 Adjust
This turns on whenever the Zone 2 source or volume is
being changed.
Note: if this is on, then any adjustments you make of volume
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. (See page 37 for details). 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, VOLUME and
MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2. The
remote display changes as in PAGE 1.

is off.
