Controlling the TX-DS787 from the remote zone
1. Aiming at the remote sensor, press the ON
button on the remote controller.
Note:
Be aware that if you start using the system in the remote zone
(Zone 2) while a recording is going on in the main zone, the
recording will be stopped in the main zone.

the remote controller to select the desired
source.
3. Adjust the volume to the desired level.
Notes:
• If the source for the main zone is selected as the source for the
remote zone and the source for the main zone is changed, then
the source for the remote zone will change as well.
• In the remote zone, you can only play the source in the 2-
channel mode. You cannot play the source in the remote zone
in the surround mode.
• You can only play the source in the Stereo mode or Direct
mode in the main zone, when you are playing the source in the
remote zone.
• If the Rec Out button is pressed in the main room while
someone is using the system in the remote zone, the Zone 2
function will be deactivated and the source will turn off in the
remote zone.
• The Zone 2 terminal is an analog output. Digital signals are not
output. If no sound is heard from the selected input source,
check if the component is connected to the analog inputs.
• Please note that some third-party multi-room system
components may not be fully compatible with the Onkyo
multi-room system components.
To select the same source for the remote zone that is selected
for the main zone, press the Zone 2 button again until
“Zone2Sel:SOURCE” appears in the display.
