Muting Zone 2
■
Operating on the remote controller
Tip
• To unmute, press ZONE2 followed by MUTING again.
Note
• Only analog input sources are output from the ZONE 2 LINE
OUT L/R jacks and FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 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.
• While Zone 2 is on, functions will not work.
• You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your
main room and Zone 2. 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.
• When you have selected NET or USB as the input selector, the
last selector selected will be set for both Main room and Zone 2.
• Zone 2 can also be unmuted by adjusting the volume.
• When Zone 2 is activated and its input selector is selected, the
power consumption of standby mode slightly increases.
• When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2 is
active, the Z2 indicator is dimly lit.
• Activating Zone 2 in the main room when the listening mode is
set to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct.
• AUX cannot be selected as the input selector for Zone 2.
• When AUX is the input source of Main room and Zone 2 is set
to share the same source, no sound will be output from Zone 2.
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you’re in Zone 2, 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 2
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 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

from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV
receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
