Using Receiver Using Remote Control Unit in Multiple Zones Using Remote Control Unit in Multiple Zones The VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080 offers dual-zone output and control, which enables you to use a single receiver to control devices and speakers for 2 zones. Due to its advanced features and controls, you can listen to music in one zone while a movie plays in the other! Depending on your tastes and budget, you can set up one of the following "sound scenarios" to make full use of the VR-5700/VR-5090/VR-5080's capabilities: No additional amplifier for Zone B: You can use your receiver's Speaker B output for Zone B. This allows you to listen to full surround sound in Zone A only, or in stereo in Zone A when Zone B is active. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo. Stereo amplifier for Zone B: You use an additional stereo amplifier for Zone B (connected to the receiver's Second Zone Preouts). This allows you to hear full surround sound in Zone A even if you are also listening in Zone B. The sound in Zone B will always be in stereo. This section covers only multiple-zone operation of the receiver. See Chapter Two for general operating instructions. How Do I Switch Control Modes? You can use Remote Control unit to operate your receiver and source devices from 2 different zones. To do so, you need to switch control modes to control the devices from each zone. To make operations from Zone B easier, we recommend that you purchase a second Remote Control unit. That way you can leave one Remote Control unit in Zone A that is always set up for Zone A operation, and another Remote Control unit in Zone B that is always set up for Zone B operation. Some system control features are not available when the Remote control unit is set up for multi-zone control. 54

How Do I Switch Control Modes?
You can use Remote Control unit to operate your receiver and source
devices from 2 different zones. To do so, you need to switch control modes
to control the devices from each zone.
To make operations from Zone B easier, we recommend that you pur-
chase a second Remote Control unit. That way you can leave one Remote
Control unit in Zone A that is always set up for Zone A operation, and
another Remote Control unit in Zone B that is always set up for Zone B
operation.
Some system control features are not available when the Remote control
unit is set up for multi-zone control.
