Zone 2–4 Setup

��

The ZONE SETUP menu provides settings and conﬁguration options related to the operation of the remote zones. This menu is reached by highlighting the ZONE line on the MAIN menu and pressing ENTER.

ZONE: Speciﬁes the zone to conﬁgure, ZONE 2, 3, or 4. Each zone is conﬁgured individually.

SOURCE: Speciﬁes a source for listening in the selected zone. Options are CD, TUNER, TAPE, VIDEO 1–5, SOURCE, and OFF. Selecting the SOURCE option links the zone source to the source selected for the main zone so that the remote zone will hear the same source as the main zone. Selecting the OFF option turns the zone off.

VIDEO INPUT: Speciﬁes a video source (Composite Video only) for the selected zone. The options available are Composite 1, 2 and 3 and OFF. (If SOURCE, above, is set to OFF, the VIDEO INPUT selection will not be available.)

VOLUME SETUP: conﬁgures the remote zone outputs for VARIABLE or FIXED volume levels. VARIABLE allows control of the volume settings in the remote zone from the receiver’s front panel or from a remote control/ IR repeater in the zone. FIXED output disables the volume control. In this mode, the remote zone level can be ﬁxed at the level speciﬁed on the next line, thus optimizing system performance when sending a ﬁxed level signal to a preamp or ampliﬁer with its own volume adjustment.

VOLUME: In VARIABLE output mode, this line shows the current volume setting for remote zone. In FIXED output mode, this volume setting establishes a permanent ﬁxed output level for the remote zone.

Move the highlight to the desired line using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the +/– buttons to adjust the volume level. To return to the MAIN menu, press the ENTER button. Press the MENU/OSD button on the remote to cancel the display and return to normal operation.

TURN ON VOL: Speciﬁes a default volume level to be used each time the remote zone is activated. You can select LAST to have the zone activate with the last previously used volume setting. Or, you specify a volume from MIN (full mute) to MAX, in 1dB increments. Note that this setting cannot exceed the MAX VOL established in the next line of the menu.

MAX VOL: Speciﬁes the maximum volume level for the remote zone. The volume cannot be adjusted above this level. Settings range from MIN to MAX, in 1dB increments.

12V TRIGGER: The receiver has six 12V trigger outputs (labeled 1–6) that supply a 12V DC signal to turn on Rotel components and other components as needed. This menu item turns on speciﬁc 12V trigger outputs whenever the indicated zone is activated. The six 12V Trigger

outputs may be assigned to each Zone and can send a turn-on signal to remote components whenever the Zones are activated. For example, Zone 2 could use 12V Triggers 1, 3 and 6; Zone 3, 12V Triggers 2 and 3; Zone 4, 12V Triggers 5 and 6.

1.Press the +/– buttons on the remote to change the ﬁrst position from blank to 1 (activating TRIGGER 1 for that zone).

2.Press the ENT button on the remote to move to the next position.

3.Repeat until all six positions are set as desired. A ﬁnal press of the ENT button conﬁrms the selection.

Default Setup

��

The DEFAULT SETUP menu provides access to six functions:

•Set the tuning function for North American or European frequencies.

•Redirect the front channel ampliﬁers to power center back speakers or remote speakers in Zone 2, 3 or 4.

•Restore all features and settings to the original FACTORY DEFAULT settings.

•Memorize a custom group of settings as a USER DEFAULT.

•Activate the memorized USER DEFAULT settings.

•Set a NEW PASSWORD for the memorized USER DEFAULT settings.

To change the TUNER setting: Place the highlight on the TUNER SETTING line using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the +/– buttons to change the setting to N. AMERICA or EUROPE. Then, move the highlight to the FACTORY DEFAULT line and change the setting to YES as described above. The screen will change to a conﬁrmation screen. Press the ENTER button to proceed with resetting the FACTORY DEFAULT settings and changing the TUNER SETTING. To return to the MAIN menu without resetting the FACTORY DEFAULT and TUNER settings, change the entry to NO and press the ENTER button.

To change the FRONT REDIRECT setting: Place the highlight on the FRONT REDIRECT line using the UP/DOWN buttons and use the +/– buttons to change the setting to FRONT SP (for powering front speakers), CB SP (for powering center back speakers), ZONE 2, ZONE 3 or ZONE 4 (for powering speakers in one of the Zones 2, 3 or 4). If you redirect the internal ampliﬁers, then you will need a separate stereo ampliﬁer to drive your front speakers.
