44 TUNER OPERATION
Multiroom Operation / Tuner Operation
setting. Note that this method may be used to
turn the Multiroom system on or off even when
the AVR is in the Standby mode in the main lis-
tening room.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When an A-BUS module is
connected, the AVR’s Multiroom system must be
turned on before the A-BUS module is able to
communicate with the AVR. Once turned on
using the instructions in the preceding para-
graph, the Multiroom system must remain on in
order for the A-BUS module to operate.
When the unit is in the Standby mode, but ready
for Multiroom or A-BUS operation, the lighting
around the Standby/On Switch 3 remains
blue and a
MULTI O N message appears in the
Lower Display Line ˜, even though the unit
is “off” in the main listening room.
When the multiroom system is turned on, the
input selected using the Multiroom Menu will be
fed to the Multiroom Output jacks
7 on the
rear panel as well as the A-BUS Jack 8.
The volume will be as set in the same menu,
although it may also be adjusted using an option-
al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote
location or on the optional audio power amplifier
connected to the Multiroom Output jacks
7.
Although changes to the input source or remote
room volume will normally be made using an IR
sensor in the remote room that is connected to
the AVR, it is also possible to change those set-
tings from the main listening room. This is useful
for situations where some or all of the remote
rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take con-
trol over the remote room without actually being
in that room.
In addition to using the MULTIROOM menu,
as shown on the previous page, you may change
the source or volume in the remote zone using
the remote. Press the Multiroom Button
c
on the remote, and when the MULTI
ON/OFF message appears in the on-screen
display and the Lower Display Line ˜, press
the Set Button
F and then press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button E to toggle past
that message to MULTI LEVEL or
MULTI INPUT .
To change the remote room’s input source,
when
MULTI INPUT appears, press the
Set Button F, and then press the
⁄ / ¤
Navigation Button E until the desired input
appears in the on-screen display and in the
Lower Display Line ˜. Remember that only
analog or PCM input sources may be selected for
use with the Multiroom system. Dolby Digital or
DTS sources are not available to the Multiroom
system.
To change the remote room’s volume, when
MULTI LEVEL appears, press the Set
Button F, and press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Button E to change the volume setting. Note
that this volume adjustment controls the level for
the output to the Multiroom Audio Outputs
7 and for any speakers connected to the
Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs
c when the Surround Back amplifier channels
are configured for Multiroom use, as shown on
page 42. This adjustment does NOT change the
volume level for any room where an ABUS mod-
ule is used, as that setting is only adjustable
using the A-BUS module’s volume control or
built-in IR sensor.
Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will
remain on even if the AVR is placed in the
Standby mode in the main room by pressing the
Power Off Button
0 or the System Power
Control 2 on the front panel. To turn off the
multiroom system from the main listening room,
when the AVR is on press the Multiroom button
c and then the Set button F. Press the
⁄ / ¤ buttons E so that the Main
Information Display ˜ or OSD will display
MULTI OFF .
Even when the AVR is turned off (to Standby
mode) and the multiroom system is turned off
too, the multiroom system may be turned on at
any time by pressing the Multiroom button
c, or any of the Selector buttons ∫ç
∂ in the remote room.
Basic Tuner Operation
The AVR’s tuner is capable of tuning AM, FM and
FM Stereo broadcast stations and receiving RDS
data. Stations may be tuned manually, or they
may be stored as favorite station presets and
recalled from a 30 position memory.
Station Selection
1. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button 6
on the remote to select the tuner as an input. The
tuner may be selected from the front panel by
either pressing the Input Source Selector %
until the tuner is active or by pressing the Tuner
Band Selector ! at any time.
2. Press the AM/FM Tuner Select button 6
or Tuner Band Selector ! again to switch
between AM and FM so that the desired
frequency band is selected.
3. Press the Tuner Mode button I on the
remote or hold the Band Selector ! on the
front panel pressed for 3 seconds to select
manual or automatic tuning.
When the button is pressed so that AUTO
appears in the Main Information Display ˜
each press of the Tuning Selectors 8
K will
put the tuner in a scan mode that seeks the next
higher or lower frequency station with accept-
able signal strength. An
AUTO S T TUNED
indication will momentarily appear when the sta-
tion stops at a stereo FM station, and an
AUTO
TUNED indication will momentarily appear
when an AM or monaural FM station is tuned.
Press the Tuning buttons again to scan to the
next receivable station.
When the button is pressed so that MANUAL
appears in the Main Information Display ˜
each tap of the Selector will increased or
decrease the frequency by one increment. When
the tuner receives a strong enough signal for
adequate reception,
MANUAL TUNED will
appear in the Main Information Display ˜.
4. Stations may also be tuned directly by pressing
the Direct button
J, and then pressing the
Numeric Keys H that correspond to the sta-
tion’s frequency. Note that for entering numbers
higher than 100 you need to enter only the "1"
rather than "10", the first "0" will be added
automatically. The desired station will automati-
cally be tuned after the latest number is entered.
If you press an incorrect button while entering a
direct frequency, press the Clear button
X to
start over.
NOTE: When the FM reception of a stereo
station is weak, audio quality will be increased
by switching to Mono mode by pressing the
Tuner Mode button
I on the remote or hold-
ing the Band Selector ! on the front panel so
that
MANUAL appears momentarily in the
Main Information Display ˜ and then goes
out.
Preset Tuning
Using the remote, up to 30 stations may be
stored in the AVR’s memory for easy recall using
the front panel controls or the remote.
To enter a station into the memory, first tune the
station using the steps outlined above. Then:
1. Press the Memory button Y on the remote.
Note that two underscore lines will appear in the
Main Information Display ˜.
2. Within five seconds, press the Numeric
Keys
H corresponding to the location where
you wish to store this station’s frequency. Once
entered, the preset number will appear in the
Main Information Display ˜.
3. Repeat the process after tuning any additional
stations to be preset.
Recalling Preset Stations
• To manually select a station previously entered
in the preset memory, press the Numeric Keys
H that correspond to the desired station’s
memory location.
• To manually tune through the list of stored pre-
set stations one by one, press the Preset
Stations Selector buttons #
W on the front
panel or remote.
