ZONE 3

Notes:

To select AM, FM, SIRIUS, or XM, press the [TUNER] input selector button repeatedly.

Only analog input sources are output by Zone 2 and Zone 3. Digital input sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source is selected, check to make sure it’s connected to an analog input.

While Zone 2 or Zone 3 is on, the Auto Power On/

Standby and Direct Change functions do not work.

You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your main room, Zone 2, and Zone 3. The same AM/FM radio station will be heard in each room.

However, you can select different AM/FM, SIRIUS, or XM stations. For example, XM for your main room, SIRIUS for Zone 2, and AM/FM for Zone 3.
