on the front panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
• ZONE 2 ON – Switches the MULTI-ZONE

feature off
The ZONE indicator lights when the MULTI-
ZONE control has been switched ON.
2 Press CONTROL.
• When the receiver is on,
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 zone you have selected.
For example, Z2: CDR sends the source
connected to the CDR inputs to the sub room
(ZONE 2).
Note
1 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE2 ON continues to show in the display.
2 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.
3 • 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.
• Volume level cannot be adjusted with this receiver. Use the separate amplifier connected to the ZONE2 OUT to adjust the
volume.
