Multi-room listening
This receiver can power two independent systems in
separate rooms after you have made the proper multi-
room connections.
1
Different sources can be playing in
both rooms at the same time or, depending on your
needs, the same source can also be used. The main and
sub rooms have independent power (the main room
power can be off while the sub room is on) and the sub
room can be controlled by the front panel controls.
However, you may need to specify the volume setting in
Multi-Room and IR receiver setup
on page 59.
Making multi-room connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have a
separate TV and speakers for your sub room. You will also
need a separate amplifier if you are not using the
SurrBack System setup (see below). There are two multi-
room setups possible with this system:
Basic multi-room setup
• Connect a separate amplifier to the MULTI-
ROOM & SOURCE ROOM 2 jacks and a TV monitor to
the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE MONITOR OUT jacks,
both on the rear of this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub
room amplifier as shown in the illustration below.
Surround Back System multi-room setup
You must select
MR & S
in
Surround back speaker setting
on page 35 to use this setup. Note that the sound in the
sub room will be temporarily interrupted when
controlling the main room (for example, changing the
input source or starting playback).
• Connect a TV monitor to the MULTI-ROOM &
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-room controls
The following steps use the front panel controls to adjust
the sub room volume and select sources. See
Multi-room
remote controls
below when using the remote control.
1 Press the MULTI ROOM ON/OFF button on the front
panel.
The
MULTI ROOM
indicator lights and
MR&S ON
appears in the front panel display to indicate the multi-
room control has been switched on.
Note
1 Note that you will only be able to play analog sources (such as composite video) in the sub room.
