Notes:

•Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2 LINE OUT and ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. Dig- ital input sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source is selected, check if it’s con- nected to an analog input.

•While Zone 2 is being used, listening modes that need surround back speakers (i.e., Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES) are unavailable.

•While Zone 2 is on, functions will not work.

•You can’t select different radio stations for Zone 2 and the main room. For example, if you have an FM sta- tion for the main room, that station will also be used in Zone 2.
