Zone Settings

Lists the volume and control settings for Zone 2 . These settings are applied to all audio inputs and are stored in memory and recalled each time the unit is powered up.

Z2 Input – Selects the analogue audio and composite video source to be routed to Zone 2. The default is ‘Follow Z1’, i.e. the same source as currently selected in Zone 1.

Zone 2 Status – displays whether Zone 2 is in Standby or On, for information only.

Zone 2 Volume – The current volume in Zone 2.

Zone 2 Max. Vol – Limits the maximum volume setting the system can be turned up to in the Zone 2. This is a useful feature to prevent accidental overdriving of low power-handling speakers, for example.

Zone 2 Fixed Vol – The Zone 2 volume control can be locked at the current value for use with an external amplifier with its own volume control in Zone 2.

Zone 2 Max On Vol – Limits the maximum volume the system operates in the Zone 2 when it is switched on or comes out of Standby. The system comes on at this volume if the last used (possibly very loud) volume exceeds this value.

Zone 2 format – Selects the video format used for the Zone 2 composite video output. PAL is mostly used in Europe and NTSC is mostly used in North America.

This setting should only be changed if there is an unstable OSD on the Zone 2 display.
