Listening with headphones

that the signal to the remote zone (Zone 2) will not be affected
whether or not headphones are connected.

show you its true ability until it is used to play music or watch
videos, LDs, DVDs, and the like. The DTR-7.1 has the latest in
state-of-the-art features to play back today’s acoustic technologies
with the utmost in fidelity and power. From a two-speaker system
to a seven-speaker system, you are assured a sound space that you
can always enjoy.
