Press to turn on and off the main power supply for the TX-NR900/ 900E. When the TX-NR900/900E is turned on with the POWER switch, the STANDBY indicator lights.

•Before turning on the power, check to make sure that all cords are properly connected.

•When the power is turned on, a sudden surge of current will occur that may adversely affect the operation of other devices. To prevent this, do not plug the TX-NR900/900E into the same circuit used by sensitive equipment, e.g., computers.

STANDBY/ON button [30]

If pressed with the POWER switch turned on (with the receiver plugged in for US models), the TX-NR900/900E turns on and the display lights up. If pressed again, the TX-NR900/900E returns to the standby state. In the standby state, the display is turned off and the TX-NR900/900E cannot be operated.

REC OUT/ZONE 2/OFF buttons [40-43]

These buttons allow you to use the TX-NR900/900E to output to a remote zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording (Rec Out). Press the REC OUT button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording. Press the ZONE 2 button to enjoy the output from the TX-NR900/900E in a different room, which is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2).

When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.

To select an input source, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press one of the input source button within 8 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone.

To set the output to the source channel, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) twice in succession. To turn off the output, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press the OFF button within 8 seconds.

Note:

The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When REC OUT is selected, nothing is output to Zone 2. When ZONE 2 is selected, REC OUT is automatically fixed to SOURCE.
