Using Remote Control Unit in Multiple Zones

The KRF-X7775D offers dual-zone output and control, which enables you to use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for 2 zones. Due to its advanced features and controls, you can listen to music in one zone while a movie plays in the other!

Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the follow- ing “sound scenarios” to make full use of the KRF-X7775D’s capabilities:

No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use your receiver’s Speaker B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.

Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B (connected to the receiver’s Second Zone Preouts). This allows you to hear full surround sound in Zone A even if you are also listening in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo.

This section covers only multiple-zone operation of the receiver. See Chap- ter Two for general operating instructions.

How Do I Switch Control Modes?

You can use Remote Control unit to operate your receiver and source devices from 2 different zones. To do so, you need to switch control modes to control the devices from each zone.

To make operations from Zone B easier, we recommend that you pur- chase a second Remote Control unit. That way you can leave one Remote Control unit in Zone A that is always set up for Zone A operation, and another Remote Control unit in Zone B that is always set up for Zone B operation.

Some system control features are not available when the Remote control unit is set up for multi-zone control.
