the sub zone volume and select sources.

1 Press ZONE2 or ZONE3 to select the desired zone
(room).
The zone turns on and off each time the corresponding
button is pressed. It is possible to turn both on.
2 Press CTRL to select the sub zone(s) you want.
If you selected ZONE 2 ON and ZONE 3 ON above, you
can toggle among ZONE 2, ZONE 3 and ZONE 2&3.
• When the receiver is on,
operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE and
your selected sub zone(s) show 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, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected
to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room.
• If you select TUNER, you can use the TUNER controls
to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 43 if you're unsure how to do this).
Note
1 When you use ZONE 3, you must set ZONE 3 / RECSEL Setting in the ZONE Audio Setup menu to ZONE 3 (page 104).
2 Note that when recording, this also selects the RECOUT input source. See Making an audio or a video recording on page 109 for more on this.
3 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show in the display.
4 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.
5 The volume levels of the main and sub zones are independent.
6 • 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 awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.
7 • Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.
• If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver's remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.
• Connections using up to four devices and IR receivers can be made with this receiver.

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote
control in another zone, you can use an optional IR
receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your
system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of
this receiver.
