•When selected in the main room, i.LINK sources can’t be heard in the sub room unless they can output both i.LINK and analog signals at the same time. Also, the sound from an i.LINK source selected in the sub room switches off if the same source is selected as an i.LINK source in the main room.

Using the sub room controls

You can use the remote to adjust the sub room volume and select sources from either the main room or the sub room. You can also do this using the front panel controls.

Important

•The receiver must be switched on (or in standby) in the main room to control the sub room.

Using the remote control in the sub room

1Point the remote control at the IR receiver and press RECEIVER.

This switches on the multi-room feature (MULTI ROOM&SOURCE).

2Use the Home menu screen buttons to control the sub room.

The INPUT buttons work for the sub room the same way they would for the main room (see Home menu screens on page 33 for more detail), and the hard-key volume controls adjust the volume in the sub room.

Tip

•Press MR&S ON/OFF to use the buttons on the Sub Room Control screen in the sub room.
