Surround Back System MULTI-ZONE setup

You must select

ZONE2 in Surround back speaker setting

on page 35 to use this setup. Note that the sound in the
sub zone will be temporarily interrupted when controlling
the main zone (for example, changing the input source or
starting playback).

Connect a TV monitor to the MULTI-ZONE &

SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks on the rear of this
receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the
surround back speaker terminals as shown below.

Using the MULTI-ZONE controls

The following steps use the front panel controls to adjust
the sub zone volume and select sources. See

MULTI-

ZONE remote controls below when using the remote
control.

1

Press the MULTI ZONE ON/OFF button on the front

panel.
The

MULTI-ZONE indicator lights and ZONE2 ON

appears in the front panel display to indicate the MULTI-
ZONE control has been switched on.

2

Press CONTROL.

Make sure that any operations for the sub room are done
while

MULTI-ZONE shows in the display. If MULTI-ZONE

is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main
zone only.

3

Use the MULTI JOG dial to select the source for the

room you have selected.
For example,

CD sends the source connected to the CD

inputs to the sub zone.

• If you select

TUNER, you can use the front panel

TUNER controls to select a preset station (see Saving
station presets
on page 33 if you’re unsure how to do

this).

1

• XM and SIRIUS Radio can be selected only in the

main zone, and when using the MULTI-ZONE feature,
you can’t use the iPod, XM and SIRIUS Radio
functions simultaneously.

4

Use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the

volume.
This is only possible if you selected the

VARIABLE

volume control in

Multi Zone Setup on page 58.

5

When you’re finished, press CONTROL again to

return to the main room controls.
You can also press the

MULTI ZONE ON/OFF button on

the front panel to switch off all output to the sub zone.

Note

1 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.
2 The volume levels of the main and sub zone are independent.
3 • 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 a while, turn off the power in both the main and sub zone so that this receiver is in standby.
