Note
You can only configure this setting when [HDMI Out B Mode] is set to [Zone2].
When a video device (projector, etc.) is connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack, sound may not be output from the receiver.
In this case, set [Zone2 Audio Out] to [AMP].
When a TV which does not support audio content protection is connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack, specific audio may
not be output from the receiver. In this case, set [Zone2 Audio Out] to [AMP].
When [Zone2 Audio Out] is set to [Zone2 TV + AMP] or [AMP], audio signals will be downmixed. The following restrictions apply
to downmixing.
If you change the sound field or speaker settings in the main zone while the input for Zone 2 is set to SOURCE or the same
input is selected in the main zone and Zone 2, the sound may also be momentarily interrupted in Zone 2.
The D.L.L. function does not work in the main zone.
The volume level of sound from the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) terminals and the
HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack may be different from sound that is not downmixed.
No sound will be output to Zone 2 if you play a DTS-CD with different HDMI inputs selected in the main zone and Zone 2.
You cannot remedy the time gap between video output on the TV connected to the HDMI OUT B (ZONE 2) jack and audio output
from the speaker connected to the SPEAKERS SURROUND BACK/HEIGHT (FRONT B/BI-AMP/ZONE 2) terminals using the
A/V Sync function.
