If no sound is heard when an input source is selected, verify that the source is connected to an analog input. • You cannot select different AM or FM radio stations for your main room and Zone 2/3. The same AM/FM radio station will be heard in each room. Namely, if you have selected an FM station for the main room, that station will also be output in Zone 2/3. • When you have selected NET or USB as input selector, the last selector selected will be set for Main room and Zone 2/3. • When Zone 2/3 is activated and its input selector is selected, the power consumption of standby mode slightly increases. • While Zone 2/3 is on, V functions will not work. • When setting the AV receiver to standby mode while Zone 2/3 is active, the Z2 or Z3 indicator is dimly lit. • Activating Zones in the main room when the listening mode is set to Pure Audio will automatically switch it to Direct. • "AUX" cannot be selected as input sources for Zone 2/3. • When "AUX" is the input source of Main room and Zone 2/3 is set to share the same source, no sound will be output from Zone 2/3.
