• When the receiver is on,
1
make sure that any
operations for the sub zone are done while ZONE 2
shows in the display. If this is not showing, the front
panel controls affect the main zone only.
3Use 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 sub room (ZONE 2).
•If you select FM/AM, you can use the tuner controls
to select a preset station (see Saving station presets
on page 36 if you’re unsure how to do this).
2
• You can’t use the iPod USB, XM and SIRIUS Radio
functions simultaneously with using the MULTI-
ZONE feature.
4Use the
MASTER VOLUME
dial to adjust the
volume.
This is only possible if you selected the VARIABLE
volume control in ZONE Audio Setup on page 69.

Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote
control in another zone, you can use an optional IR
receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your
system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of
this receiver.
5
1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the
IR ZONE2 IN
jack on the rear of this receiver.
2 Connect the
IR ZONE2 IN
jack of another
component to the
IR ZONE2 OUT
jack on the rear of
this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.
Please see the manual supplied with your IR receiver for
the type of cable necessary for the connection.
• If you want to link a Pioneer component to the IR
receiver, see Operating other Pioneer components
with this receiver’s sensor on page 79 to connect to
the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR ZONE2 OUT
jack.
Note
1 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE 2 continues to show in the display.
2 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.
3 The volume levels of the main and sub zones are independent.
4 • 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.
