2Select the ‘ZONE 2 / RECSEL Setting’ you want. You can select the ZONE 2 or RECSEL setting.

•ZONE 2 – Sound is output from MULTI ZONE & SOURCE ZONE2 OUT jack.

•RECSEL – Sound is output from the CD-R/TAPE OUT, DVR/VCR1 OUT or DVR/VCR2 OUT jack. For details, see Playing a different source when recording on page 73.

3Select the volume level setting.1

•Variable – Use this setting if you’ve connected a power amplifier in the sub room (this receiver is simply being used as a pre-amp) and you will be using this receiver’s controls to adjust the volume.

•Fixed – Use this setting if you’ve connected a fully integrated amplifier (such as another Pioneer VSX receiver) in the sub room and want to use that receiver’s volume controls. (This setting is not available if the surround back system setting is set to ZONE 2.)

With the Fixed setting, the source is sent from this receiver at maximum volume, so make sure the volume is quite low in the sub zone at first and then experiment to find the correct level.

4When you're finished, press RETURN. You will return to the Other Setup menu.
