VSX-9300TX

•You won’t be able to switch the main room off completely unless you’ve switched off the multi-room control first.

•The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.

•The volume levels of the main and sub rooms are independent.

•If you don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms. Make sure the STANDBY indicator turns red and the MULTI-ROOMindicator goes off.

1Press the MULTI ROOM & SOURCE ON/OFF button on the front panel.

The MULTI ROOM indicator lights and MR&S ON appears in the front panel display to indicate the multi- room control has been switched on.

2Press CONTROL.

Make sure that any operations for the sub room are done while MULTI-ROOMshows in the display. If MULTI- ROOM is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main room only.

3Use the MULTI JOG dial to select the source. Select between DVD/LD, TV/SAT, VCR 1/DVR, CD, CD- R/TAPE 1 or TUNER (in that order).

•If you select TUNER, you can use the front panel TUNER controls to select a preset station (see Listening to memorized station presets on page 49 if you’re unsure how to do this).

4Use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the volume.

This is only possible if you selected the VARIABLE volume control in Multi-Room and IR receiver setup on page 78.

5When you’re finished, press CONTROL again to return to the main room controls.

You can also press the MULTI ROOM & SOURCE ON/ OFF button on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub room.

Note

•Multi-room can’t be used when you’re setting up the system (from the on-screen System Setup menu).
