Multiroom Operation
Infrared Output Selection
The AVR enables you to select which IR input will be used to feed the Full Carrier IR Output . The factory default setting is the IR signal that is fed to the Multiroom IR Input , but you may select other options.
To change this setting, first make sure the

Multiroom Operation
When operating the AVR from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been con- nected to the AVR’s rear panel Multiroom IR Input , you may use either the Main remote control or the ZR 10 remote buttons BC D. Press the AVR Selector B to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

When the multiroom system is turned on, you may use the same buttons on either remote that would normally be used to control an AVR function such as volume, source selection, tuner control or the operation of an iPod docked to The Bridge. If any of the input devices are connected to the IR Output or Full Carrier IR Output

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.
To activate the feed to the remote room, press

The volume will be as set in the same menu, although it may also be adjusted using an option- al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output jacks .
Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is also possible to change those settings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take control over the remote room without actually being in that room.

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the AVR is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off Button 0or the System Power Control 2 on the front panel. To turn off the multiroom system from the main listening room, when the AVR is on press the Multiroom button
