3.Use the tape output to create a processor loop, when the Home Theater Standard 7.1 is connected to a graphic equalizer or other ancillary equipment. Connect the equipment to the Home Theater Standard 7.1 tape outputs (37) as described in the equipment manufacturer’s manual. Press the tape button (14) or key (70) to switch between the processor output (LED illuminated) and the input source (LED not illuminated).

Notes

The tape output functions only with analog sources.

 

There is no tape output from the 7.1 multichannel input.

 

When changing sources, lower the volume to off or mute the output. This

 

ensures that the next source played does not damage your system with a

 

high output transient.

ZONE 2 OPERATION

zone 2. The main zone consists of the main viewing or listening area,

 

and zone 2 consists of another listening area. You can select a digital

 

or analog audio, or a video device for the main zone. Zone 2 can

 

only be used with an analog audio device. To configure a device that

 

has both digital and analog outputs, see Configure Devices, on

 

page 38.

 

The Home Theater Standard 7.1 two-zone operation offers a number

 

of listening options.

 

• You can play both zones simultaneously, with the main zone

 

playing a source in one part of the house and zone 2 playing a

 

different (or the same) source in another part of the house.

 

• With the Home Theater Standard 7.1 in operational or stand-by

 

mode, you can activate the main zone only. Or, while the Home

 

Theater Standard 7.1 is still in stand-by mode, you can set up

 

zone 2 listening so that when you switch to operational mode,

 

only zone 2 plays.

 

• You can play a source using the main zone while using zone 2 to

 

record.

 

The red LED illuminates when the input is engaged and playing in

 

the main zone. The green LED illuminates when the input is engaged

 

and playing in zone 2. You can set the zone 2 output to be fixed or

 

variable, see Configure Level Adjustment, on page 47.
