Activating the Zone 2 Front Speakers
This section is NOT applicable to those who connect the Zone 2
front speakers through the ZONE 2 PREOUT jacks through
another amplifier (see page 19).
Before you start, remember...
• When shipped from the factory, both pairs of the front speakers
have been set to be used in Zone 1. To use the speakers connected
to the FRONT 2/ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals, set the speaker
usage correctly. (See “
w
Setting the Zone 2/Speakers 2 Usage—
ZONE 2/SPEAKER 2” on page 43.)
On the unit ONLY:
Press ZONE 2 to activate the Zone 2
front speakers.
The ZONE 2 speaker indicator lights up on the
display.
To deactivate the Zone 2 front speakers,
press ZONE 2 again.
The ZONE 2 speaker indicator goes off.
Notes:
• The ZONE 2 button does not work:
– If “SPEAKER 2” is set to “BI-AMP OUT” (see page 44), or
– If you are using 7.1-channel reproduction (including “EXT 7.1
CH”) in Zone 1.
• While the Zone 2 front speakers are activated, you cannot use the
surround back speakers for the Surround/THX/DSP modes in
Zone 1.
Muting the Zone 2 Sound
From the remote control ONLY:
Press MUTING to mute the sound
through the Zone 2 front speakers.
To restore the sound,
press MUTING again so that the VOLUME
level indicator appears on the display.
• Turning MASTER VOLUME on the unit or pressing
/– on the remote control also restores the sound.
Note:
Sounds through the Zone 2 front speakers connected to the ZONE 2
PREOUT jacks through another amplifier are also muted when
“ZONE2PREOUT” is set to “VARIABLE” (see page 43).
• When “ZONE2PREOUT” is set to “FIX,” the MUTING button does
not work. In this case, mute the sounds on the connected amplifier.
For those who connect the Zone 2 front speakers using the
ZONE 2 PREOUT jacks through another amplifier (see page
19)
You have to determine how to adjust the volume level through the
Zone 2 front speakers. (See “
w
Setting the Zone 2/Speakers 2
Usage—ZONE 2/SPEAKER 2” on page 43 for more details.)
To use the Zone 2 front speakers
1
Turn on the other amplifier connected to the ZONE 2
PREOUT jacks.

other amplifier or on this receiver (depending on the
