Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system option: • SPA - Sound is output from speaker system A and the same signal is output from the pre-out terminals. • SPB - Sound is output from the two speakers connected to speaker system B. Multichannel sources will not be heard. The same signal is output from the surround back channel pre-out terminals. • SPAB - Sound is output from speaker system A (up to 5 channels, depending on the source), the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer. The sound from speaker system B will be the same as the sound from speaker system A (multichannel sources will be downmixed to 2 channels). • SP (off) - No sound is output from the speakers. The same sound is output from the pre-out terminals (including from your subwoofer, if connected) as when selecting speaker system A (above). VSX-23TXH 1 Press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front panel. Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option: • ZONE 2 ON - Selects your primary (ZONE 2) sub zone • VSX-23TXH only: ZONE 2&3 ON - Select both sub zones • VSX-23TXH only: ZONE 3 ON - Selects your secondary (ZONE 3) sub zone • MULTI ZONE OFF - Switches the MULTI-ZONE feature off The MULTI-ZONE indicator lights when the MULTI-ZONE control has been switched ON. 2 Press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL on the front panel to select the sub zone(s) you want. VSX-23TXH only: If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can toggle between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3. • When the receiver is on,2 make sure that any operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE and your selected sub zone(s) show in the display. If this is not showing, the front panel controls affect the main zone only. 3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source for the zone you have selected. 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 51 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 90. 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 91 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. 69 En
