Switching the speaker system
If you selected Speaker B in Surround back
speaker setting on page 94, three speaker
system settings are possible using SPEAKERS.
If you selected Normal, Front Bi-Amp or
ZONE 2, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system on or off. The options
below are for the Speaker B setting only.
1
•Use
SPEAKERS
on the front panel to
select a speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from speaker
system A and the same signal is output
from the pre-out terminals.
• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to speaker system B.
Multichannel sources will not be heard.
The same signal is output from the
surround back channel pre-out terminals.
• SPAB – Sound is output from speaker
system A (up to 5 channels, depending on
the source), the two speakers in speaker
system B, and the subwoofer. The sound
from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A
(multichannel sources will be downmixed
to 2 channels).
• SP (off) – No sound is output from the
speakers. The same sound is output from
the pre-out terminals (including from your
subwoofer, if connected) as when
selecting speaker system A (above).
Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
The following steps use the front panel controls
to adjust the sub zone volume and select
sources. See MULTI-ZONE remote controls on
page 70.
1 Press the
MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF
button
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.
2Press
MULTI-ZONE CONTROL
on the
front panel.
• When the receiver is on,
2
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.
3Use 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 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 52 if you’re
unsure how to do this).
3
• VSX-919AH model only: iPod/USB and
SIRIUS Radio function cannot be selected
for the MULTI-ZONE feature.
Note
1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 94. However, if SPB is
selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• Depending on the settings in Surround back speaker setting on page 94 output from the surround back pre-out
terminals may change.
• All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
2 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE 2 DVD for example shows in the display.
3 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.
