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.

The 2-ZONE function allows internal sources (radio, DVD, VISUAL) and external sources via CeNET connection (for example, CD changers) to be played respectively on MAIN zone and SUB zone. For examples of playback possibilities, see the section “Setting the 2-ZONE function”.

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 systems (WH100).

Sound volume control on the SUB zone is performed by the headphone system (WH-100).

Notes:

Except DVD/VISUAL, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot simultaneously use sources inside this unit. Also, external equipment connected via CeNET cannot simultaneously be used.

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

The Audio mode function cannot be set for the sources of the SUB zone.

If any of following external equipment is connected, this function is disenabled. 5.1 channel surround decoder (DVC940).
