Sony HS-703 - Manual (Page 3)

The NHS-703 is a seven-room/three-zone system that receives entertainment from a central rack of equipment in
the Main Room. The Main Room system incorporates the following components:
• Sony A/V receiver
• Sony 5-disc DVD changer with progressive scan
• Sony 400-disc CD changer
• Sony VHS videocassette recorder
• Sony television
• Stereo amplifiers for Zone 2 and Zone 3
• Surround-sound speakers (not supplied by Sony)
Optional, Compatible Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV Set-top Boxes*
The main system may also include a cable, satellite or High Definition TV receiver, integrated by your installer. This may
be compatible with the remote control codes of the Sony NHS-703 wireless remote control. (Not all brands and models
are compatible.) This guide includes instructions for operating a compatible cable, satellite or High Definition TV receiver.
A/V Enjoyment in Remote Rooms
The NHS-703 supplies entertainment to seven rooms, organized in three “zones.”
Zone 1 is the Main Room, which provides a comprehensive choice of audio and video entertainment.
Zone 2 consists of Remote Rooms 1, 2 and 3, which can receive both audio and video from the Main Room.
People in Zone 2 can enjoy the same entertainment as in Zone 1, or choose entertainment from a
different source. However, all three rooms in Zone 2 will receive the same source. If your system
includes whole-house TV distribution, you can also watch television in Zone 2 rooms, independently of
the sources or TV stations selected in any other room.
Zone 3 consists of Remote Rooms 4, 5 and 6, which can receive audio only from the Main Room. People in
Zone 3 can enjoy the audio portion of the same entertainment as in Zones 1 or 2, or choose audio
entertainment from a different source. However, all three rooms in Zone 3 will receive the same source.
