Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or

system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of
this receiver.

Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
4 The volume levels of the main and sub rooms are independent.
5• You won’t be able to switch the main room off completely unless you’ve switched off the multi-room control first.
• If you don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.
