Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is also possible to change those settings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take control over the remote room without actually being in that room.
To change the input source or volume in the remote zone from the room where the AVR is located, press the Multiroom Button Q. When the MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the Lower Display Line $, press the Set Button Fand then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons Dso that the display changes to either MULTI INPUT or MULTI LEVEL, depending on which setting you wish to change.
