Adjusting the Tone and Balance of Zone 2
Note
• Only analog input sources are output by the ZONE 2/3
PRE/LINE OUT and FRONT WIDE/ZONE 2 L/R, FRONT
HIGH/ZONE 3 L/R terminals. Digital input sources are not
output. 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, u 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.
• Even if you repeatedly press the remote controller’s Zone to
select zones, the last zone selection will be retained once you
have switched to other components by pressing other Remote
Mode after pressing Zone.
• The Zone 2 level, balance, and tone functions have no effect on
the ZONE 2 PRE/LINE OUT jacks when the “Zone 2 Out”
setting is set to “Fixed” (➔ page 73).
• The Zone 3 volume function has no effect on ZONE 3
PRE/LINE OUT when the “Zone 3 Out” setting is set to
“Fixed” (➔ page 73).
The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V
trigger-capable components automatically when they are
selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that
they activate themselves once a connected component is
selected as the input source for the main room, Zone 2,
Zone 3, or any combination of rooms. When triggered, the
output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts
and 150 milliamperes max. at 12V TRIGGER OUT A;
+12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at 12V TRIGGER
OUT B and C).
See “12V Trigger A/B/C Setup” (➔ page 73).
Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV receiver’s 12V
TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger
input of a connected component.
