Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
The following steps use the front panel con-
trols to adjust the sub zone volume and select
sources. See MULTI-ZONE remote controls on
page 62.
1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the
front panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
! ZONE 2 ON – Selects your primary (ZONE 2)
sub zone
! ZONE 2&3 ON – Select both sub zones
! ZONE 3 ON – Selects your secondary
(ZONE 3) sub zone
! MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-
ZONE feature off
The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the
MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the
front panel to select the sub zone(s) you
want.
If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can
toggle between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3.
! When the receiver is on, 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.
If the receiver is in standby, the display is
dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub
zone(s) continue to show in the display.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select
the source for the zone you have selected.
For example, ZONE 2 DVD sends the source
connected to the DVD 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 41 if you’re unsure
how to do this). 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.
4 When Speaker System is set to
7.1ch + ZONE 2, use the MASTER VOLUME
dial to adjust the volume for the sub zone.
