2-ZONE Function
About the 2-ZONE function
The 2-ZONE function is a function that outputs
separate sounds/images from the MAIN zone
and SUB zone (such as the optional rear monitor)
by simultaneously operating two sources in the
one centre unit. Thereby, plural listeners are
allowed to enjoy separate audio/visual sources.
The 2-ZONE function allows internal sources
(TUNER, DVD, VISUAL, iPod) and external
sources via CeNET connection (CD changer, TV,
etc.) to be played on MAIN zone and SUB zone.
Controlling sources of MAIN zone and SUB zone
can be made from the main unit and from the
remote control unit.
The source sounds of the MAIN zone are played
back from the speakers of the vehicle side, and
those of the SUB zone are from the headphone
systems (WH143H/WH253H).
Sound volume control on the SUB zone is
performed by the headphone system (WH143H/
WH253H).
Note:
•
The TUNER mode cannot be specified for the SUB
zone.
•
The 2-ZONE function is disabled when the
following equipments are connected:
• 5.1 channel surround decoder (DVH943N)
• DAB tuner (DAH923)
•
The steering wheel remote control operations work
upon the MAIN zone even when the SUB zone is
selected.
•
When a voice interrupt of the navigation system
arises during 2-ZONE ON, the sound of the MAIN
zone is muted, and the sound of the SUB zone is
output normally.
When it arises during 2-ZONE OFF, the audio
signals to the 4ch speakers are attenuated, and
the voice from the navigation system is output from
the front two speakers.
•
You cannot operate the 2-ZONE function during
the voice interrupt of the navigation system.
•
If a mobile phone interrupt arises when an external
equipment is specified for the SUB zone, the 2-
ZONE function is automatically turned off, and it
does not resume to the 2-ZONE ON status even
when the interruption is finished.
•
You cannot switch the MAIN and SUB zone when
the following screen is displayed:
• Navigation mode screen
• Front monitor locked screen
• CCD camera screen
