The operations possible with the multiroom mode are explained briefly below. For details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the multiroom remote control unit and receiver. To output to multirooms A and B, connect the video from the MULTI OUT A/B jacks to the monitors in multirooms A and B as shown in the connection example on page 27.
