Muting Zone 2
■
Operating on the remote controller
1 Press ZONE repeatedly to select Zone 2, and
then press MUTING.
Tip
• To unmute, press ZONE followed by MUTING again.
Zone 2 can also be unmuted by adjusting the volume.
Note
• Only analog, NET or USB input source is output from the
ZONE 2/ZONE 3 LINE OUT jacks and ZONE 2 L/R
terminals.
• You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your
main room and Zone 2/3. The same AM/FM radio station
will be heard in each room. Namely, if you have selected an
FM station for the main room, that station will also be output
in Zone 2/3.
• You cannot select different input selector NET or USB for
your main room and Zone 2/3. Namely, if you have selected
USB input selector for Zone 2/3, USB input selector will be
selected in main room even if NET has been selected for
main room.
• BLUETOOTH cannot be selected as input selector in Multi
Zone. If you play audio from Bluetooth-enabled device in
Multi Zone, select "Zone 2 Selector: Source" or "Zone 3
Selector: Source", and BLUETOOTH as input selector in
Main room.
• When Zone 2/3 is activated and its input selector is
selected, the power consumption of standby mode slightly
increases.
• While Zone 2/3 is on, functions will not work.
• When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone
2/3 is active, the Z2 or Z3 indicator is dimly lit.
• Activating Zones in the main room when the listening mode
is set to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct.
• "GAME2" cannot be selected as input sources for Zone 2/3.
• When "GAME2" is the input source of Main room and
Zone 2/3 is set to share the same source, no sound will be
output from Zone 2/3.
• Even if you repeatedly press the remote controller's ZONE
to select zones, the last zone selection will be retained once
you have switched to other components by pressing other
REMOTE MODE after pressing ZONE.
Using the Remote Controller in
Zone and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you're in Zone, you'll need a commercially
available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when there isn't a clear
line of sight to the AV receiver's remote sensor, such
as when it's installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone
