Zone 2 Operation

Note: Zone 2 must ﬁrst be enabled using the OSD (see page 36), or it will not work. Zone 2 can be turned on even if the Main Zone is off.

If you have an ampliﬁer and a pair of speakers in a second room or area (Zone 2), they can play a stereo source independent of what is play- ing in the Home Theater room (Main Zone). You can also play the same source as selected in the Main Zone.

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

Connections

The connections for Zone 2 are shown on page 24.

Note: Zone 2 can play analog sources independent of what is play- ing 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 player in Zone 2 independent of the Main Zone, make sure you connect the player's L-R analog audio output to the TGP-5.

Indicators

The front panel has two LEDs to show the Zone 2 status:

Zone 2 ON 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 vol- ume 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

Use the On Screen Display in the Main Zone to check that Zone 2 is en- abled. (See page 36, middle column for details). This enables the Zone 2 system, but it still has to be turned on.

Press the remote's ZONE 2 button. The remote's POWER, VOLUME and MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2. The remote display changes as fol- lows:
