How Do I Operate Devices?
General instructions for operating any device are given under “How Do I
Operate Devices?” on page 35. Some operations, however, are a little dif-
ferent depending on the zone you are in. The following section discusses
how devices may operate differently in different zones.
Operating Devices in Zone A
To select the speakers for Zone A, press the button for Speakers–A on the
front panel of the receiver.
To set up PowerTouch to control Zone A devices, follow the instructions
under “How Do I Switch Control Modes?” on page 91.
To control a second CD player from Zone A, use , unless you are
using a Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer (see below).
Kenwood CD-3280M or CD-2280M 200-Disc CD Changers are specifi-
cally designed to work with the VR-5900 in a dual-zone environment.
Since they contain two CD players, one can play in Zone A while the
other is playing simultaneously in Zone B. Use CD1 to control the changer
for Zone A and CD2 to control the changer for Zone B.
Operating Devices in Zone B
If you are using the receiver’s Speaker B outputs to power the speakers in
Zone B, press the button for SPEAKERS B on the front panel of the re-
ceiver to activate the speakers in Zone B. The Listen Mode in Zone A will
automatically switch to stereo when you turn SPEAKERS B on.
To set up PowerTouch to control Zone B devices, follow the instructions
under “How Do I Switch Control Modes?” on page 91.
