MULTIROOM OPERATION

The AVR580 is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a complete mul- tiroom system that is capable of sending one source to a second zone in the house while a separate source is listened to in the main room. In addition to providing for control over the selection of the remote source and its volume, the AVR580 offers a comprehensive range of options for powering the speakers in the second zone.

■Using the line-level Multiroom Audio Outputs h, the selected source may be fed to optional, external power amplifiers that may be matched to the specifics of the installation.

■When the main room system is config- ured for 5.1 operation, the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels may be used to power the remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are required.

In addition, the AVR580 includes a remote IR sensor input so that remote control commands from the Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

Although simple remote room systems may be installed by the average do-it- yourself hobbyist, the complexity of your multizone/multiroom system involves run- ning wires inside of walls where the services of a specially trained installer may be required. Regardless of who does the work, please remember that local building codes may govern in-wall electri- cal work, including proper specification of any wiring used and the way in which it is connected. You are responsible for making certain that all multiroom instal- lation work is done properly and in com- pliance with all applicable codes and regulations.

For standard installations, follow the instructions shown on page 17 for the connection of speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR580.

For installations where the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier channels are used to power the remote zone, make certain that the system is configured for that type of operation, as shown on page 36.

RS-232 Control

The AVR580 is rare among A/V receivers in that it provides the capability for full remote control from compatible comput- ers or specialized remote control sys- tems. RS-232 programming requires spe- cialized programming knowledge and for that reason we recommend that it only be done by qualified installers. For more information on using the RS-232 port for remote control, please contact your local JBL distributor.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR580 needs to be configured for multiroom operation.

Press the OSD Button v to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the ¤ Button n, until the on-screen › cursor is next

to the MULTI-ROOM line. Press the Set Button p to enter the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 11).

When the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu appears, the on-screen › cursor will be at the MULTI-ROOM line. Since this line is used to turn the system on and off, don’t make an adjustment here unless you wish to turn the system on at this time. To turn the system on, press the › Button 37 so that ON is highlighted. If you do not wish to turn the system on at this time, or to proceed to the next step, press the ¤ Button n once so that the › on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI IN line.

At the MULTI IN line, press the ‹/› Buttons o 37 until the desired input to the multiroom system appears in the highlighted video. When the selection has been made, press the ¤ Button n once so that the › on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI VOL line.

At the MULTI VOL line, press the

‹/› Buttons o 37 until the desired volume level for the multiroom system is

entered. DO NOT use the regular volume control knobs for this setting. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the ⁄/¤ Buttons

nuntil the on-screen › cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD Button v to exit the menu system.

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR580 from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been connected to the AVR580’s rear-panel Multiroom IR Input d, you may use either the main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press any of the Input Selector buttons on the Zone II remote ç∂ or the main remote eg. Press the AVR Selector f∫ to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

As long as an IR feed to the AVR580 has been established from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote location volume

40î, change the tuner frequency uÉ, change the tuner preset 33 © or mute the output 43 ˚.

If the Remote IR Output Jack f on the AVR580 is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the trans- port functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls `ƒ˙∆ on either remote control.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power Off Button aå. Remember that the AVR580 may be turned on or off from the remote room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

To activate the feed to the remote room, while you are in the main listening room where the AVR580 is located, press the
