Listening in Zone 2
With the multizone system in use, you may enjoy an exciting 5.1-channel home theater
presentation in the main listening area, while others listen to the same program or an
entirely different source in another room. See
Install a Multizone System
, on page 21, for
installation information.
You control the AVR’s multizone system from the on-screen Zone 2 menu. Press the
Setup button, and use the Up/Down buttons to navigate to the Zone 2 line. Press the OK
button to display the Zone 2 menu.

Source: This line lets you select the source input for Zone 2. You may select a different
source from the one currently operating in the main listening area. However, if the same
source has been selected for both the main listening area and Zone 2, listeners in both
areas will hear the same content.
NOTE: Only analog audio sources, including The Bridge IIIP and USB devices, are
available to the multizone system. To hear digital devices such as a CD player in
Zone 2, follow these steps:
In addition to making a digital audio connection, connect the source device’s analog 1.

Front-Panel Dimmer: This control sets the brightness of the AVR’s front-panel message
display. Select from 100%, 50%, 25% or Off. The light inside the Volume Control will go
out when the display is partly or fully dimmed, but the Power Indicator will always remain
lit to remind you that the AVR is powered on.
HDMI Settings
HDMI Audio to TV: This setting determines whether HDMI audio signals are passed
through the HDMI Monitor Out connector to the video display. In normal operation, leave
this setting at Off, as audio will be played through the AVR. To use the TV by itself, without
the home theater system, turn this setting to On. In this case you will need to mute the
TV’s speakers (or switch the setting to Off) when using the AVR for audio.
HDMI Control: This setting allows the communication of control information among the
HDMI devices in your system. Turn this setting to On to allow control communication
between the HDMI devices; turn the setting to Off to forbid control communication.
Audio Return Channel: Selecting “Auto” will send audio from the TV to the AVR via the
HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection (which is in the HDMI cable connecting
the AVR to the TV). The TV source’s “Audio Input from Source” will be automatically
reassigned to the HDMI ARC connector. This way, whenever you’re watching a source
that is connected directly to your TV (such as an Internet connection), you can listen to
the sound through the AVR.
Power Control: This setting links the power on/off functions of the AVR to those of a TV
connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When Power Control is set to On, turning
the TV’s power off will automatically put the AVR into the Standby mode; turning the TV’s
power on will automatically turn the AVR on. NOTE: The connected TV must support the
HDMI System Standby CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
TV Control: This setting extends some audio-control functions between the AVR and a TV
connected to its HDMI Monitor Out connector. When TV Control is set to On, if the TV is set
to use external speakers, the TV’s internal speakers will mute, and you can use the TV’s
remote to control the AVR’s volume up/down and mute functions. If the TV is set to use
its internal speakers, the AVR’s output will automatically mute. NOTE: The connected TV
must support the HDMI Remote Control/System Audio Control CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control).
