Multiroom Operation

Multiroom operation is simple, and it may be controlled from either the main listening room where the AVR65 is located, or from a remote room when an optional IR sensor is connected to the Multi jack

con the rear panel.

To activate the feed to the remote room, press the Multi button øfon the front panel or remote. Next, press the

Úor Û buttons gon the remote or the Selector buttons üon the front panel until the MULTI indicator Killuminates in the front panel Information Display.

Press the Set button to enter the setting.

When the multiroom system is turned on, the previously selected input will be fed to the Multi Out jacks d on the rear panel. The volume will be as set in the previous selection, although it may be further adjusted using an optional volume con- trol in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multi Out jacks d.

If an optional IR sensor is located in the remote room and connected to the AVR65’s Multi IR jack, the multiroom system may be turned on or controlled by simply pointing the AVR65 remote, or an optional programmable remote that includes codes for the AVR65, at the IR sensor. Note that depending on the type of programmable remote used, it is probable that the code for the Multi button will not be contained in the pre-programmed code library, and must be “learned” into the remote, if possible.

To change the input source for the source to the multiroom feed once it has been turned on, follow the instructions shown above in the Multiroom Setup section of this manual.

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the AVR65 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the AVR Selector a or the System Power Control 2on the front panel. To turn the multiroom system off, press the Multi button ø f, and then the Ú or Û buttons g on the remote or the Selector buttons

üon the front panel until the MULTI indicator Kgoes out. Press the Set button to enter the setting.
