Sherbourn Technologies PT-7010A Zone 2 Operation, Recording to a VCR, Connections, Indicators

•Set your tape player to record and adjust the input levels for the best performance. Once the levels are correct, you can reset your source to the beginning and make your recording.

•Do not select another Main Zone input while you are recording.

Recording to a VCR

Any video source playing in the PT-7010A can be recorded using the left and right audio and the video outputs. The VCR will receive a straight copy of the source signal going in, unaffected by the volume, tone or any surround modes.

•Select the video source and play it through your system.

•Set your VCR to record.

•Do not select another Main Zone source while you are recording.

•The VID2/MON2 output can also be used for recording, but first make sure that it is set to VID2 in the VIDEO menu of the OSD (see page 40). This output will then mute to prevent feedback whenever the VID2 input source is selected.

•Do not use the OSD while recording as the incoming video is shut off while the OSD is displayed

Zone 2 Operation

If you have an amplifier and a pair of speakers in a second room or area (Zone 2), they can play an analog stereo source independent of what is playing in the Home Theater room (Main Zone). You can also play the same source as selected in the Main Zone. Multi-channels sources will be down mixed to stereo, if applicable.

Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is unaffected by the Tone controls, DSP, surround modes or bass management.

Connections

The connections for Zone 2 are shown on pages 24-25. Note: Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what is playing in the Main Zone. It cannot play from a digital- only source unless that input is selected and playing in the Main Zone. To play a source such as a DVD or CD player in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure you also connect the player’s L-R analog audio output to the PT-7010A.

Indicators

The front panel has two LED’s to show the Zone 2 status: Zone 2 Power. This LED is always on when Zone 2 is on. If it is off, there will be no output to the Zone 2 amplifier.

Zone 2 Adjust

This turns on whenever the Zone 2 source or volume is being changed.

Note: if this is on, then any adjustments you make of volume or input, will affect Zone 2, not the Main Zone.

In addition to these LEDs, the front panel display will show the input and volume adjustment.

Turning on Zone 2

on.
