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 60
.

indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the front panel.
!
When the receiver is on, 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.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source for the sub zone.
For example,
ZONE 2 DVD
sends the source connected to the
DVD
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 40
if you’re unsure how to do this). 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.

for the sub zone.
5 When you’re finished, press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL again to return to the main zone
controls.
You can also press
MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF
on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub zone.

You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control
first.

If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main
rooms so that this receiver is in standby.
