Different pieces of music heard by plural listeners (2-ZONE function)

About the 2-ZONE function

The 2-ZONE function is a function that outputs separate sounds from the MAIN zone and SUB zone by simultaneously operating two sources in the one center unit, thereby allowing plural listeners to enjoy separate music sources.

This unit can control its internal sources (radio, CD, MP3, etc.) to play back them, and further, can simul- taneously play back sources from external equip- ment connected via CeNET (for instance, CD changers etc.).

The sources of the MAIN zone are played back from the speakers of the vehicle side, and those of the SUB zone are from the headphone sys- tems (WH104/WH204).

Notes:

Except AUX, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot si- multaneously use sources inside this unit.

Also, external equipment connected via CeNET cannot simultaneously be used.

The TV mode while the 2-ZONE function is tuned on is forced to change to “VTR playback.”

The ISR function cannot be operated when the 2- ZONE function is turned on.

The Audio mode and Z-enhancer function cannot be set for the sources of the SUB zone.
