Virtual Speaker indicated on the front-panel display or on-screen.

displayed. You will also see the word “VIRTUAL” at the very top of the
front-panel display.
3. If you have two or three speakers selected, you can choose between
Reference and Wide mode. Press DOLBY MODES or SURR MODES
repeatedly until you see the mode you want—i.e., “Dolby Pro Logic

on the front-panel display or on-screen.
To deactivate Dolby Virtual Speaker, press DOLBY MODES or SURR
MODES repeatedly until you the surround or stereo mode you want

Multi-Zone Operation
The Model 990 can provide an independent video and stereo sound feed to a
second zone or room. Using this capability, you can, for example, watch a DVD
movie in your home theater while listening to a satellite radio receiver in your
bedroom—even though both the DVD player and the satellite radio receiver
are connected to the Model 990. You can also control volume of the main zone
and the second zone individually.
The second zone can operate even when the Model 990 is turned off in the main
zone. A separate Zone 2 remote control is provided for use in the second zone.
It provides on/off, source selection, volume control, and mute functions. You
can also control the second zone from the main zone, using either the Zone 2
remote or the main remote and the on-screen menu.
You can also use the second-zone video capability to feed a second video monitor
in the main zone, so, for example, you can keep an eye on a sports event or a
news crawl while you are watching a movie.
Multi-Zone Connection Notes

The Model 990’s multi-zone capability works only with analog audio sources.
If you are using a digital audio cable to connect, say, a DVD player to your
Model 990, you should also connect a pair of analog audio cables from your
DVD player to the DVD analog audio inputs of the Model 990. The digital
audio connection will still work in the main zone, but you will also be able
to use the analog audio from your DVD player in the second zone.

The multi-zone video capability works only with composite and S-Video
sources. Component and DVI video are not available on the Model 990’s
multi-zone output. In order to view in the second zone video sources connected
via component or DVI, add a composite or S-Video connection as well.

In the second zone, you will need an amplifier and a pair of speakers for
sound, and a TV if you want to watch video sources. You can use any sound
system with a line-level input, and any video monitor with a composite
and/or S-Video input. You can also use the audio inputs on the TV in lieu
of a separate sound system.

In order for the Zone 2 remote to work in the second zone, you will need
to install an infrared sensor in the second zone. The sensor must be con-
nected to one of the Model 990’s IR inputs.
