• It is not possible to hear the digital output of a
component in the sub room. However, you can
connect the analog outputs of your digital
component into the receiver’s (analog) input
terminals to hear the component in the sub room.
• Since the video converter is not enabled for multi-
room connections, you’ll have to connect any video
input source you want to watch in the sub room using
standard RCA video cords.
• You can't use sound controls (such as the tone
controls or Midnight listening) or any surround
modes in the sub room. You can, however, use the
features available with your sub room amplifier.
Using the sub room controls
You can use the remote to adjust the sub room volume
and select sources from either the main room or the sub
room. You can also do this using the front panel controls.
Important
