The NHS-2000 is a six-zone system that can be configured for as few as three and as many as seven

rooms (one Main Room and up to six Remote Rooms).  Entertainment comes from a central rack of

equipment near the Main Room.  The Main Room system incorporates the following components:

• Sony A/V receiver

• Sony multi-room distribution unit

• Sony 400-disc MegaStorage

®

DVD/CD/Super Audio CD changer with progressive scan

• Sony 400-disc MegaStorage CD changer

• Sony 5-disc DVD/CD changer with progressive scan

• Sony VHS videocassette recorder

• Sony television

• Surround-sound speakers (not supplied by Sony)

Optional Compatible Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV Set-top Boxes*

The main system may also include a cable, satellite or High Definition TV set-top box, integrated by your installer.  If your installer has

integrated such a set-top box, you will be able to control the box from the main room and remote rooms, just like any other source

component. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

If your system distributes the video output from a single, centralized Cable TV, Satellite TV or High Definition TV 

set-top box, your remote room keypads will be LIMITED to a SINGLE Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV channel selected in the main room
set-top box. To get independent channel selection in every room, your installer must distribute the incoming Cable, Satellite or High Definition
TV signal to set-top boxes in every room.  In this case, you can use the remote for each set-top box to select channels independently and
use the television remote control to adjust volume.  Sound from a local set-top box in the remote room will be heard only through the remote
room television’s built-in speakers, not the system speakers. 

Set-Up and Audio/Video Adjustments

These Operating Instructions cover such basic functions as selecting entertainment sources and enjoying them.  For information on additional

component functions, including setup, advanced picture adjustments, advanced sound adjustments, loading tapes and discs and VCR timer

recording, please consult the Operating Instructions for the individual components that make up the NHS-2000. 

DVD and CD Name Displays

The system incorporates two Sony MegaStorage

®

400-disc changers, one for any mix of DVDs, CDs and Super Audio CDs and another

400-disc changer just for CDs.  These changers are capable of automatically recognizing the names of specific disc titles and displaying

those names on the system’s In-Wall Keypads and on the system’s RF Remote Commander

®

unit.  

NOTE: 

Before a Sony MegaStorage changer can access a disc by name, the changer must first read the disc’s Table of Contents.  CDs that

do not include the CD TEXT feature may require manual name entry.  See the MegaStorage

®

changer user’s manuals for additional

information.
