MULTIROOM OPERATION
Tape Recording
In normal operation, the audio or video source selected for listening through
the AVR is sent to the record outputs. This means that any program you
are watching or listening to may be recorded simply by placing machines
connected to the outputs for Analog Outputs
3
or Video 1 Outputs
P7
in
the record mode.
When a digital audio recorder is connected to the Coaxial Digital Output
A
,
you are able to record the digital signal using a CD-R, MiniDisc or other digital
recording system.
NOTES
:
The digital outputs are active only when a digital signal is present, and •
they do not convert an analog input to a digital signal, or change the
format of the digital signal (e.g. Dolby Digital to PCM or vice versa). In
additon, the digital recorder must be compatible with the output signal.
For example, the PCM digital output from a CD player may be recorded on
a CD-R or MiniDisc, but Dolby Digital or DTS signals may not.
To make an analog recording from a digital source is possible, but only •
from a PCM source (not Dolby Digital or DTS) and correctly only with
"Surround Off" mode (with any Surround mode only the L/R front signals
will be fed to the record outputs).
Memory Backup
This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves
tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is turned
off completely, accidentally unplugged or subjected to a power outage.
This memory will last for approximately two weeks, after which time all
information must be reentered.
MULTIROOM
The AVR is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a complete
multiroom system that is capable of sending one source to a second zone in
the house while separate source is listened to in the main room. In addition to
providing for control over the selection of the remote source and its volume,
the AVR offers a com prehensive range of options for powering the speakers in
the second zone.
When the main room system is configured for 5.1 operation, the Surround •
Back Left/Right amplifier channels may be used to power the remote zone
so that no additional amplifiers are required.
In addition, the AVR includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control
commands from the main remote (when set to Zone 2 with the slide Switch
X
) may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks
allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled
source devices.
Installation
Although simple remote room systems may be installed by the average
do-it-yourself hobbyist, the complexity of your multizone/multiroom system
involves running wires inside of walls where the services of a specially trained
installer may be required. Regardless of who does the work, please remember
that local building codes may govern in-wall electrical work, including proper
specification of any wiring used and the way in which it is connected. You are
responsible for making certain that all Multiroom installation work is done
properly and in compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
For standard installations, follow the instructions shown on page 16-18 for
the connection of speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR.
For installations where the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels are
used to power the remote zone, make certain that the system is configured for
that type of operation, as shown below.
Multiroom Setup
Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR needs to
be con figured for multiroom operation using the steps below. Press the AVR
button
W
to bring the main menu to the screen. Press the
KL
Button
F
until the Zone 2 menu line is highlighted in blue. Press the OK button
V
to
enter the menu.
