UNDERSTANDING THE ZONES
The RV-8 features three zones: the Main Zone, Zone 2 and Zone 3.
The Main Zone is designed to control audio and video signals in
the primary listening space, Zone 2 is designed to control digital
and analog audio and composite or S-video signals for a second
zone or recording devices, and Zone 3 is designed to control
analog audio and composite or S-video signals in an additional
listening space. The headphone output follows the source selected
in the Main Zone. LOGIC7 Headphone processing is available on
this output.
The following are exceptions to independent zone operation:
1. The same Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input source can be
selected for the Main Zone and Zone 2 at the same time.
However, different Dolby Digital or DTS(-ES) input sources
cannot be present in the Main Zone and Zone 2.
2. Zone 2 can provide a 2-channel downmix of Main Zone multi-
channel audio when all of the following conditions are met:
• The same input must be selected in the Main Zone and
Zone 2.
• A Dolby Digital, DTS(-ES) or 5.1a input source must be
present in the Main Zone.
• The INPUT SETUP menu ZONE2 IN parameter must be set
to DMIX (page 3-26).
3. The Zone 2 and Zone 3 audio output connectors will receive
Front L/R when a 5.1a source is present in the Main Zone. The
ZONE2 IN parameter must also be set to ANLG.
4. When 5.1a BYPASS or 2-CH BYPASS is selected, a downmix to
Zone 2 is not available.
TWO-LINE STATUS
The two-line status provides information about the zone from
which the RV-8 last detected a change in status. The Main Zone
two-line status appears when the RV-8 detects a Main Zone
change, and the Zone 2 (or Zone 3) two-line status appears when
the RV-8 detects a Zone 2 (or Zone 3) change.
The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu STATUS parameter can be used to
control the length of time for which the two-line status appears in
the on-screen display. The ON-SCREEN DISPLAY menu POSITION
parameter can be used to control the position of the two-line
status in the on-screen display.
Note:
When the display device is connected to a component
video output connector and the MAIN ADV menu
COMPONENT OSD parameter (page 3-24) is set to
OFF, the display device does not show the on-screen
display, including the two-line status.
Main Zone Two-Line Status
The Main Zone two-line status shown at the right
indicates the current input source, source type,
listening mode and volume level selected in the
Main Zone. It appears in the on-screen and front-
panel displays when the RV-8 detects a Main Zone change.
Zone 2 Two-Line Status
The Zone 2 two-line status shown at the right
indicates the current input, source type and
volume level selected in Zone 2. It appears in
the on-screen and front panel displays when the RV-8 detects a
Zone 2 change.
