Zone operation
Each zone (except Zone 1) has an input switch. is switch allows the
input for the zone to be taken from either the corresponding zone input
or the zone 1 input. is allows for the input to zone 1 to be sent to
multiple loudspeaker pairs. Switch all input switches to Zone 1 if you
require the same stereo source to be reproduced in all zones. Note that
if the input switch is set to the other position, then the zone will require
its own stereo source (preamplier or stereo music system). Examples of
dierent setups are shown below:

Operation
Each channel of each zone has a trim control. is recessed control
allows each speaker’s volume to be adjusted using a small at blade or
cross-head screwdriver and is ideal for compensating for dierences
in sensitivity between dierent speaker types. For everyday volume
adjustment, it is recommended to connect source equipment with an
adjustable output such as the Arcam C31 preamplier or Solo Music
system.
