Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
The following steps use the front panel con-
trols to adjust the sub zone volume and select
sources. See MULTI-ZONE remote controls on
page 50 .
1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the
front panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
! ZONE 2 ON – Switches the MULTI-ZONE
feature on
! MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-
ZONE feature off
The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the
MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the
front panel.
! When the receiver is on, make sure that any
operations for the sub zone are done while
ZONE 2 shows in the display. If this is not
showing, the front panel controls affect the
main zone only.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select
the source for the sub zone.
For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source
connected to the CD-R/TAPE inputs to the sub
room (ZONE 2) .
! If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner
controls to select a preset station (see Saving
station presets on page 32 if you’re unsure
how to do this). The tuner cannot be tuned to
more than one station at a time. Therefore,
changing the station in one zone also
changes the station in the other zone. Please
be careful not to change stations when
recording a radio broadcast.
4 When Speaker System is set to ZONE 2,
use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust
the volume for the sub zone.
5 When you’re finished, press
MULTI-ZONE CONTROL again to return to
the main zone controls.
You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on
the front panel to switch off all output to the
sub zone.
! You won’t be able to switch the main zone
off completely unless you’ve switched off the
MULTI-ZONE control first.
! If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE
feature for a while, turn off the power in both
the sub and main rooms so that this receiver
is in standby.
