Using other functions

Switching the speaker terminals

If you selected Speaker B at Speaker system
setting on page 101, you can switch between
speakers using the SPEAKERS button. If you
selected Normal(SB/FH), Normal(SB/FW),
Front Bi-Amp or ZONE 2, the button will
simply switch your main speaker terminals on
or off. The options below are for the Speaker B
1
setting only.
• Use SPEAKERS on the front panel to
select a speaker terminal setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal(SB/FH) or Normal(SB/FW), the
button will simply switch your main speaker
terminals (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker terminal
option:
• SPA – Sound is output from the A-
speaker terminals (up to 7 channels
(including surround back channels),
depending on the source).
• SPB – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to the B-speaker
terminals. Multichannel sources will not be
heard.
• SPAB – Sound is output from the A-
speaker terminals (up to 5 channels,
depending on the source), the two
speakers connected to the B-speaker
terminal, and the subwoofer. The sound
from B-speaker terminals will be the same
as the sound from the A-speaker terminals
(multichannel sources will be downmixed
to 2 channels).
• SP (off) – No sound is output from the
speakers.
Note
1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 100. However, if SPB
is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
2 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE 2 DVD for example shows in the display.
3 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.

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 74.
1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front
panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
• ZONE 2 ON – Switches the MULTI-ZONE
feature on
• MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-
ZONE feature off
The MULTI-ZONE 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,
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 CD-R sends the source
connected to the CD-R 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 51 if you're
unsure how to do this).
• VSX-920 model only: iPod/USB and
INTERNET RADIO function cannot be
selected for the MULTI-ZONE feature.
