MULTIROOM OPERATION 33
MULTIROOM OPERATIONMULTIROOM OPERATION
The AVR 330 is fully equipped to operate as the con-
trol center for a complete multiroom system that is
capable of sending one source to a second zone in
the house while a 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 330 offers a comprehensive range of options for
powering the speakers in the second zone.
■ Using the line-level Multiroom Audio Outputs ¡,
the selected source may be fed to optional, exter-
nal power amplifiers that may be matched to the
specifics of the installation.
■ 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 330 includes a remote IR sensor
input so that remote control commands from the
Zone II remote included with the unit 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 multi-
room installation work is done properly and in
compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.
For standard installations, follow the instructions shown
on page 16 for the connection of speaker wire and IR
remote wiring to the AVR 330.
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 on page 31.
Multiroom Setup
Once the audio and IR link connections have been
made, the AVR 330 needs to be configured for multi-
room operation. Press the
OSD Button v to bring
the
MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen.
Press the
¤
Button n, until the on-screen > cur-
sor is next to the
MULTI-ROOM line. Press the
Set Button p to enter the MULTI-ROOM
menu (Figure 11).
Figure 11
When the MULTI-ROOM menu appears, the
on-screen
> cursor will be at the MULTI-ROOM
line. Since this line is used to turn the system on and
off, don’t make an adjustment here unless you wish to
turn the system on at this time. To turn the system on,
press the
› Button o so that ON is shown. If you
do not wish to turn the system on at this time, or to
proceed to the next step, press the
¤
Button n
once so that the › on-screen cursor is next to the
MULTI IN line.
At the
MULTI IN line, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
o until the desired input to the multiroom
system appears. When the selection has been made,
press the
¤
Button n once so that the
›
on-
screen cursor is next to the
MULTI VOL line.
At the
MULTI VOL line, press the
‹
/
›
Buttons
o until the desired volume level for the multiroom
system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume
control knobs for this setting. When all settings for the
multiroom setup have been made, press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n until the on-screen > cursor is next to
the
BACK TO MASTER MENU line. If you
have no other adjustments to make, press the
OSD
Button
v to exit the menu system.
Multiroom Operation
When operating the AVR 330 from a remote room
location where an IR sensor link has been connected
to the AVR 330’s rear-panel
Multiroom IR Input ∞,
you may use either the main remote control or the
Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press
any of the
Input Selector buttons on the Zone II
remote
ç∂
or the main remote
eg. Press
the
AVR Selector f
∫
to turn the unit on to the
last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to
turn on to a specific source.
As long as an IR feed to the AVR 330 has been
established from the remote room, using any of the
buttons on either remote will control the remote loca-
tion volume
î
, change the tuner frequency
u
É
, change the tuner preset
©
or mute
the output
˚
.
If the
Remote IR Output Jack § on the AVR 330
is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible
Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD
or cassette players, the transport functions of those
machines may also be controlled using the
Transport
Controls
`
ƒ˙∆
on either remote control.
To turn the system off from the remote room, press
the
Power Off Button a
å
. Remember that the
AVR 330 may be turned on or off from the remote
room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in
the main room.
NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for
the remote zone, any change to the frequency or pre-
set will also change the station being listened to in the
main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if
someone in the main room changes the station, the
change will also impact the remote room.
To activate the feed to the remote room, while you are
in the main listening room where the AVR 330 is
located, press the
Multiroom Button on the
remote. Next, press the
Set Button p. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to turn the multiroom feed on or
off. When the multiroom system is on, the
Lower
Display Line
¯ and OSD will display MULTI
ON
. Press the Set Button p to enter the setting.
When the multiroom system is turned on, the input
selected using the multiroom menu will be fed to the
Multiroom Audio Outputs ¡ on the rear panel. The
volume will be as set in the previous selection, although
it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and
the Zone II remote in the remote location, or on the
optional audio power amplifier connected to the
Multiroom Audio Outputs ¡.
