For example,

on page 36 if you’re unsure how to do this).

remote controls:

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote
control in another zone, you can use an optional IR
receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your
system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of

this receiver.

ZONE 2

, you must set

ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting

in the

ZONE Audio Setup

menu to

ZONE 2

(page 66).

2 Note that when recording, this also selects the

RECOUT

input source. See

Making an audio or a video recording

on page 70 for more on this.

4 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.
5 The volume levels of the main and sub zones are independent.
6 • 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 awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.

• If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.
