Zone B
The ZONE B CONTROL button allows the front
panel to be used to control the power, Input and
volume for components connected to the Zone B
Output of the MX180. Zone B can be set to any
Input or can be set to follow whatever Input is
chosen for the Main Zone. In the Zone B mode,
the red LED above the ZONE B button will
illuminate. If Zone B is off, turn it on by pushing the
STANDBY ON button which will also have a red
light lit above it. To exit Zone B control, push the
Zone B button again.
If ZONE A is powered off while Zone B is still on,
re-powering Zone A will automatically mute Zone
B.

Setup- The Installer Menu
The factory default settings will allow you to use
the MX180 as soon as you properly connect your
components. But the setup program is quite robust and
allows for great customization and optimization.
MX180 setup can be performed by using either the
setup button on the front panel and using an attached
monitor or through a web browser on a computer if
the MX180 is connected to your network. Chrome or
Firefox browsers are recommended. Other browsers
may not function correctly.
The procedures and screens are essentially the same
using either method. You may find the use of a mouse
and a keyboard available in the browser method easier
to navigate than using the arrow buttons on
the front panel or Remote Control for entering
information.
We will be using the browser setup method here, but
