Introduction to Programming
The default setting for each Zone is to turn-on with the

the Zone is first turned-on. It is also possible to prevent the
Control of a Selected Source for a given Zone yet allow
listening and/or viewing of that source. All programming is
stored in permanent memory and is retained until changed,
