For example, ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source connected to the CD-R inputs to the primary (ZONE 2) sub room. • If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner controls to select a preset station (see Saving station presets on page 56 if you're unsure how to do this).3 Note 1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 124. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed). • Depending on the settings in Surround back speaker setting on page 124 output from the surround back pre-out terminals may change. • All speaker systems (except Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected. 2 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) continue to show in the display. 3 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one zone also changes the station in the other zone. Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast. 91 en
