These buttons allow you to use the TX-NR900/900E to output to a remote zone (Zone 2) or to another component for recording (Rec Out). Press the REC OUT button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording. Press the ZONE 2 button to enjoy the output from the TX-NR900/900E in a different room, which is referred to as the remote zone (Zone 2).

When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.

To select an input source, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press one of the input source button within 8 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone.

To set the output to the source channel, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) twice in succession. To turn off the output, press the desired button (REC OUT or ZONE 2) and then press the OFF button within 8 seconds.

Note:

The Rec Out and Zone 2 buttons use the same circuit and therefore cannot be used at the same time. When REC OUT is selected, nothing is output to Zone 2. When ZONE 2 is selected, REC OUT is automatically fixed to SOURCE.
