Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
The following steps use the front panel controls to adjust the sub zone volume and select sources. See
MULTI-
ZONE remote controls
on
page 63
.
1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
!
ZONE 2 ON

The

indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the front panel.
!
When the receiver is on, make sure that any operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE 2 shows in the
display. If this is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main zone only.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source for the sub zone.
For example,
ZONE 2 DVD
sends the source connected to the
DVD
inputs to the sub room (
ZONE 2
).
!
If you select
TUNER
, you can use the tuner controls to select a preset station (see
Saving station presets
on
page 41
if you’re unsure how to do this). The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time.
Therefore, changing the station in one zone also changes the station in the other zone. Please be careful not
to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
4 When Speaker System is set to ZONE 2, use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the volume
for the sub zone.
In case of VSX-1127

Even if
Speaker System
is not set to
ZONE 2
, the volume of the sound being output from the
AUDIO ZONE 2
OUT
terminals can be adjusted. Adjust the volume as desired using the
MASTER VOLUME
dial.
!
When
Speaker System
is set to anything other than
ZONE 2
, the volume output from the receiver’s
AUDIO
ZONE 2 OUT
terminals can be fixed to –40 dB or 0 dB and the volume can be adjusted from the connected
amplifier. If you want to adjust the volume from the connected amplifier, see
ZONE Setup
on
page 85
.
5 When you’re finished, press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL again to return to the main zone
controls.
You can also press
MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF
on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub zone.
!
You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control
first.
!
If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main
rooms so that this receiver is in standby.
