ZONE 2 (RX-V757 ONLY)

3Press an input selector button to select the input source you want to listen to in the second room.

The display window shows “2: name of selected input” if the remote control is in the Zone 2 mode.

4You can control Zone 2 using the input selector, STANDBY, SYSTEM POWER, MUTE and VOL –/+.

*

*If “ZONE2 AMP” in OPTION MENU is set to INT, you can use VOL –/+ to adjust sound output from speakers connected to the PRESENCE/ZONE 2 speaker terminals (see page 65). However, VOL –/+ cannot be used to adjust sound output from the ZONE2 OUTPUT jacks.

5Press SELECT k/n to exit from the Zone 2 mode.

Notes

“ZONE2” will appear in the display window only when k is pressed, and SYSTM only when n is pressed.

If you press SELECT k when the unit is set to Zone 2 mode, the unit switches to Zone 3 mode. However, this unit does not support Zone 3 mode. To exit Zone 3 mode, press SELECT n.

Since the Zone 2 code is common to “ID1Z” and “ID2Z”, the Zone 2 code does not change even if the AMP library code (remote control setting) is switched.

Turning this unit to either on or standby

SYSTEM POWER and STANDBY work differently depending on the selected mode that appears on the display window.

• When normal, Zone 2 mode is selected, you can turn the main unit, Zone 2 to on/standby individually.

• When system mode is selected, or when ID1/ID2 is selected as the amplifier library (L:AMP) code, you can turn the main unit, Zone 2 to on/standby all together simultaneously.

Special considerations for DTS software

The DTS signal is a digital bitstream. If you attempt to send the DTS signal to the second room you will only hear digital noise (that may damage your speakers). Thus, the following considerations and adjustments need to be made when playing DTS-encoded discs.

For DVDs encoded in DTS

Only 2 channel analog audio signals may be sent to the second room.

Use the disc menu to set the DVD player’s mixed

2-channel left and right audio outputs to the PCM or Dolby Digital soundtrack.

For CDs encoded in DTS

To avoid unexpected noise, DO NOT USE the Zone 2 feature with CDs encoded in DTS.
