AVR80 manual 11/01/98 13:01 Side 34 Multiroom Operation 34 ENGLISH To activate the remote room feed, press the MULTI button on the front panel 9. This will send the signal of the AVR80's currently selected input source to the remote room at the volume level established in SET UP MENU 2. The MULTI indicator on the front panel display , will flash to indicate that the multiroom system is turned on in the variable mode, and that Source Linking is in effect. With Source Link, any change to the AVR80's input selection will also change the feed to the remote room locations. If the input source is changed from the remote room, the M ULT I indicator will remain lit, but stop flashing. If the AVR80 is turned off in the main listening room, the feed to the remote room will continue, although the MULTI indicator will now remain constantly illuminated. To turn off the feed to the remote room either while the AVR80 is still on, or after it is turned off, press the MULTI button on the front panel. If the MULTI button is pressed while the AVR80 is still on and the on screen video system is engaged, a warning message will appear on the video display (Figure #18) to remind you that people may still be listening to the system in the remote room location. Remote Room Operation In this option, the remote room feed is controlled by the use of an AVR80 compatible remote control. The remote commands must be transmitted to the AVR80 via a coaxial link connected to the MULTI input œ on the AVR80's rear panel. Using the remote control in the second room press the POWER ON button to turn on the remote room feed. This will activate the multi room portion of the AVR80 whether or not it may be on in the main listening room. The initial feed to the remote room will be the last station selected by the tuner. Any other AVR80 input source may subsequently be selected using the source buttons on the remote control. The initial volume at the remote room will be the level established using the options in SET UP MENU 2. If IR connections have been made to the source playback equipment, it is also possible to control the functions of those units via the second room remote. Consult with your dealer or custom installer for additional information on this type of installation. When the remote room is controlling the AVR80 via the IR link, the MULTI indicator on the AVR80's front panel will remain constantly lit. NOTE: Whenever the AVR80 is in a multiroom mode, the MULTI indicator will flash briefly whenever a command is transmitted by the remote room location and received by the AVR80. The AVR80 may also be remoted by a keypad (from Audio Access). Therefore connect the keypad interface to jack π on the AVR80´s rear side.
