Note

1Only one sub room is possible if you connect the OUT1 ROOM3 (ZONE3) digital output to your second sub room.

2Note that when recording, this also selects the RECOUT input source. See Making an audio or a video recording on page 65 for more on this.

3If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub room(s) continue to show in the display.

4The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.
