2nd Zone Operation

With the Zone-2 feature active you can listen to what is
playing in the main theater or any other analog input
somewhere else in the house. If you want to listen to the
main theater in Zone-2 the PT-7020A will down mix the
audio to two-channel. You can also listen to another analog
source (ex. CD Player) while a Blu-Ray (DVD) is playing
in the main theater as long as the source is connected to
one of the analog inputs listed below.

You have a variety of options that will allow you enjoy
your PT-7020A in another room, outside on the patio or by
the pool.

Go to the MAIN MENU and scroll down to Zone 2. Once
there you have the following options.

Zone2 Power

This can be set to either ON or OFF

Input Select

This is where you choose the inputs you would like to use
for your Zone 2 operation. You have the following choices:

Tuner
Aux 2 to Aux 11
Sync (This tracks what is on in the main theater.)

You will need a second amp to run your speakers for your
Zone-2 source unit.

Troubleshooting Guide

The Sherbourn PT-7020A is expertly designed and built to
provide years of trouble-free performance. Most problems
that occur can usually be solved by checking your setup or
making sure that the audio and video components
connected to the processor are on and fully operational.
The following information will help you deal with common
setup problems you may experience during normal use of
your unit. If problems persist, contact your Sherbourn
Dealer for help.

Important – Please note the PT-7020A requires
initialization after the power cord is plugged into the

for approx. 5 seconds. The unit will power up after this
small delay. The second push of the power button will
turn the unit off and after this the unit will turn on and
off in a normal fashion.
