• When the receiver is on,

1

make sure that any

operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE and
your selected sub zone(s) show in the display. If this
is not showing, the front panel controls affect the
main zone only.

3

Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source

for the zone you have selected.
For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected
to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room.

• If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner controls

to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 46 if you’re unsure how to do this).

4

When Speaker System is set to ZONE 2, use the

MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the volume for the sub
zone.

5

When you’re finished, press MULTI-ZONE

CONTROL again to return to the main zone controls.
You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front
panel to switch off all output to the sub zone(s).

MULTI-ZONE remote controls

Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or ZONE
3
to operate the corresponding zone.

The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE
remote controls:

Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

4

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on
page 16 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making
recordings (from the video

OUT jacks) make sure to use

the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder
as you used to connect your video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must
connect your recorder using Component video if your
source has also been connected using Component video.

1

Select the source you want to record.

Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT).

2

Prepare the source you want to record.

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3

Select the input signal according to the signal to be

recorded.
Use the remote control’s SIGNAL SEL button.

4

Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording
device and set the recording levels. Refer to the
instructions that came with the recorder if you are
unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio
recording level automatically—check the component’s
instruction manual if you’re unsure.

5

Start recording, then start playback of the source

component.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find
that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear
distortion in the sound.

5

Press

on the remote control, then press

A.ATT to switch the input attenuator on or off.

Note

1 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show in the display.
2 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one zone also changes the station in the other

zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.

3 • You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

• If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in
standby.

4 • The receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.

5 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
