Available Surround modes vary depending on the speaker settings and the incoming signals. (See pages 46 and 47.)

Activating one of the Surround modes for a source automatically recalls the memorized settings and adjustments (see pages 32 to 41).

You can also use the buttons on the remote control for the same functions.

IMPORTANT:

For Zone 1 operations:

The ZONE 1 indicator lights up on the unit’s display.

When using the unit:

“ZONE2” is not shown in the unit’s main display.

Check the indication shown on the remote’s display when you press a button—this indicates the remote control operation mode together with multi-room operation mode (either for ZONE 1 or ZONE 2) for about two hours.
