• If you select TUNER, you can use the TUNER controls

on page 35 if you’re unsure how to do this).5

Note

1Only one sub zone is possible if you connect the OUT1 ZONE3 digital output to your second sub zone.

2When you use ZONE 2, you must set ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting in the ZONE Audio Setup menu to ZONE 2 (page 69).

3Note that when recording, this also selects the RECOUT input source. See Making an audio or a video recording on page 73 for more on this.

4If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show in the display.

5The 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.
