Using the Monitor Section
The S zone features a unique monitor section located in the center of the unit allowing the operator or installer to listen to each of the zones in headphones or in the internal super speaker. The added convenience allows the installer or end user to monitor the program material that is play- ing in each zone from a single location in the building.
Operating the S zone
Using the headphone
Any standard headphone with an impedance of 8 – 200 ohms can be plugged into the front panel PHONES 1/4- inch jack. When a headphone is connected to the PHONES input, the internal super speaker will turn off allowing the user or installer to monitor any zone without disturbing the room ambiance.

Routing a signal to the Internal Monitor
The following section explains a simple procedure to route signal from inputs to outputs, and then monitor the Zone output in the Zone Monitor.
•Connect an input signal like a CD or DVD player to the one of the S zone's line inputs.
•Assign that input to the one or more zones using the input channel ZONE assignment switches.
•Now, adjust the assigned ZONE(s) OUTPUT VOLUME control(s) so that you see the input reading on the out- put meter(s).
•Position the ZONE SELECT switch to the Zone that you want to hear in the monitor.
•Now, use the Monitor VOLUME control to adjust the level in the speaker or headphone.
Note: If you assigned two or more inputs to different Zone Outputs, you will hear the different signals in the Monitor speaker or headphones as you change the ZONE SELECT switch.
