Zone 2 Operation - Sunfire Theater Grand Processor III User Manual

Zone 2 Operation

If you have an amplifi er and a pair
of speakers in a second room or
area (Zone 2), they can play a stereo
source independent of what is play-
ing in the Home Theater room (Main
Zone). You can also play the same
source as selected in the Main Zone.
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 independant
of the Main Zone, make sure you
connect the player's L-R analog audio
output to the TGIII.
Indicators
The front panel has two LEDs to
show the Zone 2 status:
Zone 2 Power
This LED is

amplifi er.
Zone 2 Adjust
This 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.
