Using the Remote Control in Zone 2

To use the remote controller to control the AV receiver from Zone 2, you’ll need one of the following commer- cially available multiroom remote control kits:

Multiroom Kits are made by Niles and Xantech. These kits can also be used when the AV receiver is not in line of sight of the remote controller, for example, when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Connect the miniplug cable from the connecting block to the AV receiver’s IR IN jack as shown below.

To Mute Zone 2:

Press the remote controller’s [ZONE 2] button, followed by the [MUTING] button. To unmute Zone 2, press the remote controller’s [ZONE 2] button again, followed by the [MUTING] button, or adjust the volume for Zone 2.

Notes:

Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2 LINE OUT and ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. Dig- ital input sources are not output. If no sound is heard when an input source is selected, check if it’s con- nected to an analog input.

While Zone 2 is being used, listening modes that need surround back speakers (i.e., Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES) are unavailable.

While Zone 2 is on, functions will not work.

You can’t select different radio stations for Zone 2 and the main room. For example, if you have an FM sta- tion for the main room, that station will also be used in Zone 2.
