Understanding the room indicators
A boxed letter indicates the presently-selected room or rooms. The selected room is
affected by any source changes, or any change you make using the VOLUME, MUTE,
ON/OFF, or SLEEP buttons.
B An unboxed letter indicates a room listening to a shared source. A shared source is one
that is playing in the controlled room as well as in up to three additional rooms. If you
change the radio station, CD track, etc., of the shared source, the change affects all
rooms sharing this source. However, you cannot change sources for all affected rooms
at the same time. The VOLUME, MUTE, ON/OFF, and SLEEP buttons only affect the
boxed room(s).
An empty box appears for each connected room when you press the HOUSE button.
When you change the volume in the HOUSE mode, the numerical level appearing on the
display does not represent the actual volume level in all connected rooms. It only
represents the actual volume in rooms represented by a boxed letter.
