•Sony 5-disc CD changer

•Sony VHS videocassette recorder

•Sony television

•Stereo amplifier for Zone 2

Optional, Compatible Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV Set-top Boxes*

The main system may also include a cable, satellite or High Definition TV receiver, integrated by your installer. This may be compatible with the remote control codes of the Sony NHS-502 wireless remote control. (Not all brands and models are compatible.) This guide includes instructions for operating a compatible cable, satellite or High Definition TV receiver.

A/V Enjoyment in Remote Rooms

The NHS-502 supplies entertainment to five rooms, organized in two “zones.”

Zone 1 is the main room, which provides a comprehensive choice of audio and video entertainment.

Zone 2 consists of a second, third and fourth room, which can receive both audio and video from the main room and a fifth room that can receive audio only. People in Zone 2 can enjoy the same entertainment as in Zone 1, or choose entertainment from a different source. However, all four rooms in Zone 2 will receive the same source. If your system includes whole-house TV distribution, you can also watch television in Zone 2 rooms, independently of the sources or TV stations selected in any other room.

Set-Up and Audio/Video Adjustments

These Operating Instructions cover such basic functions as selecting entertainment sources and enjoying them. For information on additional component functions, including setup, advanced picture adjustments, advanced sound adjustments, loading tapes and discs and VCR timer recording, please consult the Operating Instructions for the individual components that make up the NHS-502.
