Using other functions

Switching the speaker terminals

If you selected Speaker B at Speaker system setting on

page 77, 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 setting only.

•Use

SPEAKERS

on the front panel to select a

speaker system setting.

As mentioned above, if you have selected Normal(SB/

FH) or Normal(SB/FW), the button will simply switch

your main speaker terminal (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 terminals, and the subwoofer. The sound

from the 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.

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 58.

1Press

MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF

on the front panel.

Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:

• ZONE 2 ON – Selects your primary (ZONE 2) sub

zone

• ZONE 2&3 ON – Select both sub zones

• ZONE 3 ON – Selects your secondary (ZONE 3) sub

zone

• MULTI ZONE OFF – Switches the MULTI-ZONE

feature off

The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE

control has been switched ON.

2Press

MULTI-ZONE CONTROL

on the front panel to

select the sub zone(s) you want.

If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can toggle

between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3.

• When the receiver is on,

make sure that any

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.

3Use 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 42 if you’re unsure how to do this).

4 When

Speaker System

is set to

ZONE 2

, use the

MASTER VOLUME

dial to adjust the volume for the sub

zone.

5 When you’re finished, press

MULTI-ZONE

CONTROL

again to return to the main zone controls.

You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front

panel to switch off all output to the sub zone(s).

Note

1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 77. 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 and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show 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.

4 • 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 a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in

standby.
