CHAPTER 5
Zone 2 Operation
Note
: Zone 2 must
fi
rst be enabled
using the OSD (see page 36), or it
will not work. Zone 2 can be turned
on even if the Main Zone is off.
If you have a pair of speakers in a
second room or area (Zone 2), they
can play a stereo source independent
of what is playing in the Home Theater
room (Main Zone). You can also play
the same source as selected in the
Main Zone.
The Zone 2 speakers can be pow-
ered by the TGR-3's internal ampli
fi
-
ers, or by an external power ampli
fi
er.
Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is
unaffected by the Tone controls, DSP,
Holographic Image, surround modes
or bass management.
Connections
The connections for Zone 2 are
shown on page 24.
Note: Zone 2 can play analog
sources independent of what is play-
ing in the Main Zone. It
cannot
play
from a digital-only source unless that
input is selected and playing in the
Main Zone. To play a source such as
a DVD player in Zone 2 independent
of the Main Zone, make sure you
connect the player's L-R analog audio
output to the TGR-3.
Indicators
The front panel
has two LEDs to
show the Zone 2
status:
Zone 2 ON
This LED is al-
ways on when
Zone 2 is on.
If it is off, there will be no output to
the Zone 2 ampli
fi
er.
Zone 2 Adjust
This LED turns on whenever the
Zone 2 source or volume is being
changed. Note: if this is on, then
any adjustments you make of vol-
ume or input, will affect Zone 2, not
the Main Zone.
In addition to these LEDs, the front
panel display will show the input and
volume adjustment.
Turning on Zone 2
Use the On Screen Display in the
Main Zone to check that Zone 2 is en-
abled. (See page 36, middle column
for details). This enables the Zone 2
system, but it still has to be turned on.
Press the remote's ZONE 2 button.
The remote's POWER, VOLUME and
MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2.
The remote display changes as fol-
lows:
