Tip:

When using Zone 2, even if you put the TX-DS696 in the standby state, it will not affect Zone 2 and the volume in Zone 2 can still be adjusted. Moreover, components that have their power supply connect to the AC OUTLET connector on the TX-DS696 will not be turned off.

Adjusting the volume:

After pressing the ZONE 2 button, adjust the volume using the LEVEL / buttons within 5 seconds.

Notes:

•If you wish to use the remote controller from a separate room or other location where the signals will not reach the TX-DS696, you will need to purchase a commercially available remote control sensor and emitter.

•After you press the ZONE 2 button on the remote controller, the STANDBY indicator on the TX-DS696 flashes for five seconds. During this time, you will not be able to perform operations in the main zone using the remote controller.

•If the source for the main zone is selected as the source for the remote zone and the source for the main zone is changed, then the source for the remote zone will change as well.

•In the remote zone, you can only play the source in the 2-channel mode. You cannot play the source in the remote zone in the surround mode.

•When you are listening to a source in the remote zone (Zone 2), you can only play sources in the Stereo or Direct modes in the main zone. Therefore, when sources playing from the multichannel input in the main zone, audio from the left and right surround speakers will not be output.

•The REC OUT and ZONE 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at same times. If the REC OUT button is pressed in the main room while someone is using the system in the remote zone, the Zone 2 function will be deactivated and the source will turn off in the remote zone.

•The Zone 2 terminal is an analog output. Digital signals are not output. If no sound is heard from the selected input source, check if the component is connected to the analog inputs.
