Muting Zones

■Operating on the remote controller

1 Press ZONE repeatedly, and then press MUTING.

Tip

•To unmute, press ZONE followed by MUTING again. Zones can also be unmuted by adjusting the volume.

Note

• ZONE 2 LINE OUT and FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R output

2ch PCM and analog input sources. To listen to the PCM source,

you need to make an HDMI connection (➔ page 18). If no

sound is heard when an input source is selected, check if the

source is connected to an analog input and HDMI input.

• Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 3 LINE OUT

and FRONT HIGH/ZONE 3 L/R terminals. Digital input

sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source

is selected, verify that the source is connected to an analog input.

•When you have selected NET or USB as input selector, the last selector selected will be set for Main room and Zone 2/3.

•When Zone 2/3 is activated and its input selector is selected, the power consumption of standby mode slightly increases.

•While Zone 2/3 is on, ufunctions will not work.

•The component connected to HDMI input other than HDMI IN 1/2/3/AUX INPUT is selected as an input source for Zone 2, the linked operations of pmay not work properly. In this case, set the linked operations to Off on the source component.

•When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2/3 is active, the Z2 or Z3 indicator is dimly lit.

•Activating Zones in the main room when the listening mode is set to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct.

•“GAME2” cannot be selected as input sources for Zone 3.

•When “GAME2” is the input source of Main room and Zone 3 is set to share the same source, no sound will be output from Zone 3.

•Even if you repeatedly press the remote controller’s ZONE to select zones, the last zone selection will be retained once you have switched to other components by pressing other REMOTE MODE after pressing ZONE.

Advanced Operations

Using the Remote Controller in Zone and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller while you’re in Zone, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.

• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.

These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line of sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone

In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them through to the AV receiver in the main room via the connecting block.

IR IN

• (North American models) You can select different radio

stations for the main room and Zone 2 by connecting the supplied

antennas respectively (➔ page 21).

• (North American models) When the main room and Zone 2

share the same input source, if the input selector of the main room

is TUNER, you cannot select different radio stations for the main

room and Zone 2 respectively.

• (European models) You cannot select different AM or FM radio

stations for your main room and Zone 2/3. The same AM/FM

radio station will be heard in each room. Namely, if you have

selected an FM station for the main room, that station will also be

output in Zone 2/3.

Zone

• You cannot select different radio stations for Zone 2 and Zone 3

respectively.

• If Zone 2 and the main room share the same input source, only an

analog input signal is output.

• If an HDMI component selected in Zone 2 outputs the sound

other than PCM, the sound is not output from FRONT

WIDE/ZONE 2 and ZONE 2 LINE OUT.

• Both audio and video outputs from an HDMI component may

interrupt when the main room and Zone 2 are set to share the

same source or not.

The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be connected to the AV receiver’s IR IN jack, as shown below.
