MULTIROOM OPERATION 35

MULTIROOM OPERATIONMULTIROOM OPERATION

The

AVR 335 is fully equipped to operate as the con-

trol center for a complete multiroom system that is

capable of sending one source to a second zone in

the house while a separate source is listened to in the

main room. In addition to providing for control over the

selection of the remote source and its volume

, the

AVR 335 offers a comprehensive range of options for

powering the speakers in the second zone.

n Using the line-level Multiroom

Audio Outputs

¡,

the selected source may be fed to optional, exter-

nal power amplifiers that may be matched to the

specifics of the installation.

n When the main room system is configured for 5.1

operation, the Surround Back Left/Right amplifier

channels may be used to power the remote zone

so that no additional amplifiers are required.

In addition,

the AVR 335 includes a remote IR sensor

input so that remote control commands from the

Zone II remote included with the unit may be transmitted

to the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks allow

the remote zone’s commands to be sent to compatible

IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

Although simple remote room systems may be

installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist, the

complexity of your multizone/multiroom system

involves running wires inside of walls where the

services of a specially trained installer may be

required. Regardless of who does the work, please

remember that local building codes may govern

in-wall electrical work, including proper specification of

any wiring used and the way in which it is connected.

You are responsible for making certain that all multi-

room installation work is done properly and in

compliance with all applicable codes and regulations.

For standard installations, follow the instructions shown

on page 14 for the connection of speaker wire and IR

remote wiring to the AVR 335.

or installations where the Surround Back Left/Right

amplifier channels are used to power the remote zone,

make certain that the system is configured for that

type of operation.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been

made, the AVR 335 needs to be configured for multi-

room operation. Press the

OSD Button v to bring

the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen.

Press the

Button n,

until the on-screen

›

cur

sor is next to the

MULTI-ROOM line. Press the

Set Button p to enter the MULTI-ROOM

menu (Figure 14).

Figure 14

When the MULTI-ROOM menu appears, the

on-screen

›

cursor will be at the MULTI-ROOM

line. Since this line is used to turn the system on and

off, don’t make an adjustment here unless you wish to

turn the system on at this time. To turn the system on,

press the

› Button o so that ON is shown. If you

do not wish to turn the system on at this time, or to

proceed to the next step, press the

Button n

once so that the › on-screen cursor is next to the

MULTI IN line.

At the

MULTI IN line, press the

‹

›

Buttons

o until the desired input to the multiroom

system appears. When the selection has been made,

press the

Button n once so that the

›

on-

screen cursor is next to the

MULTI

VOL

line

At the

MULTI

VOL

line

press the

‹

›

Buttons

o until the desired volume level for the multiroom

system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume

control knobs for this setting.

Surround Amplifier Channel Assignment

The AVR 335 is equipped with seven full-power

amplifier channels to allow for complete 7.1-channel

operation without the need for additional external

amplifiers. However, in some installations you may wish

to use the traditional 5.1-channel configuration for the

main listening room,

which allows the surround back

left/right amplifier channels to be used to power

speakers placed in a remote zone location.

If you wish to use the Surround Back channel ampli

fiers to power the remote zone, you must change a

setting in the

MULTIROOM

SETUP

menu.

o make that change, first call up the menu system

by pressing the

OSD Button v to bring the

MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Next,

press the

Button n until the

›

cursor is next to

the

MULTIROOM line. Press the Set Button

p to enter the MULTI-ROOM

SETUP

menu (Figure 14).

To change the setting so that the Surround Back

amplifiers are fed by the source selected through

the Multiroom system, press the

‹

›

Buttons o

so that MR SP appears; then press the Set

Button

Remember that once this setting is made, you will not

be able to take advantage of any of the 6.1/7.1-

channel decoding or processing modes, and that the

speakers used for the remote zone must be connected

to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs

‚. The volume for these speakers is set by the

multiroom system.

Once this setting is made, you may press the

Button n to make any of the other adjustments

available on this menu. If no other adjustments are

needed, press the

OSD Button v to exit the

menu system. When all settings for the multiroom

setup have been made, press the

⁄

Buttons

n until the on-screen

›

cursor is next to the

BACK TO MASTER MENU line. If you have

no other adjustments to make, press the

OSD Button

v to exit the menu system.

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR 335 from a remote room

location where an IR sensor link has been connected

to the AVR 335’s rear-panel

Multiroom IR Input ∞,

you may use either the main remote control or the

Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press

any of the

Input Selector buttons on the Zone II

remote

ç∂

or the main remote

eg. Press

the

AVR Selector f

∫

to turn the unit on to the

last source

, or any of the other Selector buttons to

turn on to a specific source.

As long as an IR feed to the AVR 335 has been

established from the remote room, using any of the

buttons on either remote will control the remote loca

tion volume
