Muting Zones
■ Operating on the remote controller
Tip
• To unmute, press ZONE2 or ZONE3 followed by MUTING
again. Zones can also be unmuted by adjusting the volume.
Note
• Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2/3 LINE
OUT, FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R and FRONT
HIGH/ZONE 3 L/R terminals. Digital input sources are not
output. If no sound is heard when an input source is selected,
verify that the source is connected to an analog input.
• You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your
main room and Zone 2/3. The same AM/FM radio station will be
heard in each room. Namely, if you have selected an FM station
for the main room, that station will also be output in Zone 2/3.
• When you have selected NET or USB as input selector, the last
selector selected will be set for Main room and Zone 2/3.
• When Zone 2/3 is activated and its input selector is selected, the
power consumption of standby mode slightly increases.
• While Zone 2/3 is on, functions will not work.
• When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2/3 is
active, the Z2 or Z3 indicator is dimly lit.
• Activating Zones in the main room when the listening mode is set
to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct.
• “AUX” cannot be selected as input sources for Zone 2/3.
• When “AUX” is the input source of Main room and Zone 2/3 is
set to share the same source, no sound will be output from
Zone 2/3.
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you’re in Zone, you’ll need a commercially available
multiroom remote control kit for each zone.
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line of
sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when it’s
installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone picks up the infrared
signals from the remote controller and feeds them through
to the AV receiver in the main room via the connecting
block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the AV receiver’s IR IN jack, as shown
below.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals
from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV
receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
1 Press ZONE2 or ZONE3, and then press MUTING.
