ENGLISH
MULTI ZONE MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
• When the outputs of the “ZONE 2” OUT terminals are wired and connected to integrated amplifiers installed
in other rooms, different sources can be played in rooms other than the main zone in which this unit and the
playback devices are installed. (Refer to ZONE 2 on the diagram below.)
• ZONE 2 SPEAKER OUT can be used when “ZONE2” is selected at System Setup Menu “Power Amp
Assignment”. In this case, Surround Back Speaker OUT cannot be used for MAIN ZONE. (See page 15.)
Multi-zone playback with multi-source
NOTES:
• For the AUDIO output, use high quality pin-plug cords and wire in such a way that there is no humming
or noise.
• For instructions on installation and operation of separately sold devices, refer to the devices’ operating
instructions.
• When the pure direct mode is set for the main zone, no signals are output to the ZONE 2 video
terminals.
• Signals are output from the ZONE 2 video terminals even when ZONE 2 is set to “OFF”.

SURROUND
Before playing with the surround function
• Before playing with the surround function, be sure to use the test tones to adjust the playback level from the
different speakers. This adjustment can be performed with the system setup (see page 13) or from the remote
control unit, as described below.
• Adjusting with the remote control unit using the test tones is only possible in the “Auto” mode and only
effective in the DOLBY/DTS SURROUND modes. The adjusted levels for the different modes are automatically
stored in the memory.
