09 Using other functions Using the MULTI-ZONE controls The following steps use the front panel controls to adjust the sub zone volume and select sources. See MULTIZONE remote controls on page 75. 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 ! ZONE 2&3 ON - Select both sub zones ! 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. If you selected ZONE 2&3 ON above, you can toggle between ZONE 2 and ZONE 3. ! When the receiver is on, 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. 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 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select the source for the zone you have selected. For example, ZONE 2 DVD sends the source connected to the DVD 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). 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. 4 Use the MASTER VOLUME dial to adjust the volume for the sub zone. When Speaker System is set to anything other than 7.1ch + ZONE 2, 7.1ch FH/FW + ZONE 2, 5.1ch Bi-Amp + ZONE 2 or 5.1ch + ZONE 2+3, the volume output from the receiver's AUDIO ZONE 2 OUT terminals can be fixed to -40 dB or 0 dB and the volume can be adjusted from the connected amplifier. If you want to adjust the volume from the connected amplifier, see ZONE Setup on page 98. 5 When you're finished, press MULTI-ZONE CONTROL again to return to the main zone controls. You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front panel to switch off all output to the sub zone. ! You won't be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you've switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first. ! If you don't plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby. MULTI-ZONE remote controls Press the remote control's ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 to operate the corresponding zone. The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE remote controls: Button(s) u INPUT SELECT Input function buttons VOLUME +/- What it does Switches on/off power in the sub zone.

Button(s) MUTE What it does Mutes the sound or restores the sound if it has been muted (adjusting the volume also restores the sound). a The volume cannot be adjusted on the receiver if Volume Level at ZONE 2 Setup under ZONE Setup is set to -40 dB Fixed or 0 dB Fixed. Making an audio or a video recording You can make an audio or a video recording from the built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV). Keep in mind you can't make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the components you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see Connecting your equipment on page 18 for more on connections). ! The receiver's volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal. ! Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog. ! Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded. Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using Component video if your source has also been connected using Component video. 1 Select the source you want to record. Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT). 2 Prepare the source you want to record. Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc. 3 Select the input signal according to the signal to be recorded. Use the remote control's SIGNAL SEL button. 4 Prepare the recorder. Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording device and set the recording levels. Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set the audio recording level automatically-check the component's instruction manual if you're unsure. 5 Start recording, then start playback of the source component. Network settings from a web browser Network settings and Pandora or SiriusXM account settings can be made using the browser on a computer connected to the same LAN as the receiver. 1 Turn on the computer's power and launch the Internet browser. 2 Input the receiver's IP address into the browser's address input field. For example, if the receiver's address is 192.168.0.2, input "http://192.168.0.2/". Check the receiver's IP address at Checking the Network Information on page 96. When connected with the receiver, the Web Control screen appears in the browser. 3 When the Web Control screen appears, select the item you want to set. 75
