The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have:

*1 If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK or FRONT HIGH L terminals.

*2 Front high and surround back speakers cannot be used at the same time.

To connect speakers with screw-type terminals:

Strip 1/2″ to 5/8″ (12 to 15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Insert the bare wires into the terminal and tighten.

To connect speakers with push-type terminals:

Strip 3/8″ to 1/2″ (10 to 12 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly. Push the tab down, insert the bare wire, and release the tab.

For Banana Plugs (North American models):

If you are using banana plugs, tighten the speaker terminal before inserting the banana plug. Do not insert the speaker code directly into the center hole of the speaker terminal.

The speaker terminals are color-coded for identification purpose. The supplied speaker cable labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the table below. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.

Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.

Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals only to negative (-) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.

Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver’s rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Don’t connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Don’t connect one speaker to several terminals.

To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

You can connect the powered subwoofer with two SUBWOOFER PRE OUT jacks respectively. The same signal is output from each jack.

If your subwoofer is unpowered and you’re using an external amplifier, connect the subwoofer pre out jack to an input on the amplifier.

Bi-amping provides improved bass and treble performance. When bi-amping is used, the AV receiver is able to drive up to a 5.1 speaker system in the main room. Once you’ve completed the bi-amping connections as shown in the PDF and turned on the AV receiver, you must set the speaker setting to enable bi-amping.

Important considerations:

When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals.

Bi-amping can be used only with speakers that support bi-amping. Refer to your speaker manual.

Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your AV components.

Don’t connect the power cord until you’ve completed and double-checked all AV connections.

Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).

To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

HDMI: HDMI connections can carry digital video and audio.

Component video: Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PB, PR), providing the best picture quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).

Composite video: Composite video is commonly used on TVs, DVDs, and other video equipment.

Optical digital audio: Optical digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as coaxial. For PCM signals, the supported sampling rates are 32/44.1/48/88.2/96 kHz. With HDMI connections, 176.4 and 192 kHz are also supported. The AV receiver’s optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it’s removed. Push plugs in all the way. To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

Coaxial digital audio: Coaxial digital connections allow you to enjoy digital sound such as PCM*, Dolby Digital or DTS. The audio quality is the same as optical.

Analog audio (RCA): Analog audio connections (RCA) carry analog audio.

Connect your components to the appropriate jacks. The default input assignments are shown below.

Assignment can be changed.

If your TV doesn’t support Audio Return Channel (ARC), you need to connect an optical digital cable together with the HDMI cable to the AV receiver.

When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound may be cut off.

In the case of Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, if no sound is output despite following the above procedure, set your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player’s HDMI audio settings to PCM.

To listen to the audio of a component connected via HDMI through your TV’s speakers, enable “HDMI Through” and set the AV receiver to standby mode.

Audio Return Channel (ARC) function enables an HDMI capable TV to send the audio stream to the HDMI OUT MAIN of the AV receiver.

This function can be used when:

Your TV is ARC capable, and

The TV/CD input selector is selected, and

“HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On”, and

“Audio Return Channel” is set to “Auto”.

With its support for MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link), the AUX (Front) input allows you to deliver high-definition video from a connected mobile device.

Connect your components to the appropriate jacks. The default input assignments are shown below. Assignment can be changed.

*1 When USB input is selected, you can input video signals from the VIDEO jack. Video signals input from VIDEO will be output from the MONITOR OUT and HDMI output jacks.

*2 Do not connect the AV receiver’s USB port to a USB port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the AV receiver in this way.

*3 Only front-panel USB input is compatible with iPod/iPhone.

*4 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesn’t have it, you’ll need a commercially available phono preamp. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you’ll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a phono preamp. See your turntable’s manual for details.

With connection 3, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS. (To listen in Zone 2 as well, use 3 and 5.)

With connection 4, you can listen audio from the external components while you are in Zone 2.

With connection 6, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect the main stereo.

1. Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection 10 in the hookup examples).

2. Make the RI connection.

3. If you’re using an RI Dock, or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display.

With RI (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

System On/Auto Power On: When you start playback on a component connected via RI, while the AV receiver is on standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

Direct Change: When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source.

Remote Control: You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver’s remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first.

Use only RI cables for RI connections. RI cables are supplied with Onkyo components.

Some components have two RI jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional RI-capable components.

Connect only Onkyo components to RI jacks. Connecting other manufacturer’s components may cause a malfunction.

Some components may not support all RI functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your Onkyo components.

While Zone 2 is on, the System On/Auto Power On and Direct Change RI functions do not work.

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna. The AV receiver won’t pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

For the indoor FM antenna, push the wire into the jack, then release to secure.

For the AM loop antenna, assemble it by inserting the tabs into the base, then connect the wires to the AM ANTENNA terminal (Thumbtacks, etc. may be used if needed).

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you’ll need to tune into a radio station and position the antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the AM loop antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Audyssey Dynamic Volume.

Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the “Audyssey Quick Start” and “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.

Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.

Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the measurement from three positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment. The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes. Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

First measurement position: Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment. Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

Second measurement position: The right side of the listening area.

Third measurement position: The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position 1 to 2 and 1 to 3 must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices. Turn off the cell phone (even if it is not in use) or place it away from all audio electronics.

The microphone picks up test tones played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs.

Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup cannot be performed while a pair of headphones is connected.

1. Turn on the AV receiver and the connected TV. On the TV, select the input to which the AV receiver is connected.

2. Set the speaker setup microphone at the Main Listening Position, and connect it to the SETUP MIC jack. The speaker setting menu appears. The on-screen menus appear only on a TV that is connected to the HDMI OUT MAIN. If your TV is connected to other video outputs, use the AV receiver’s display when changing settings.

3. When you’ve finished making the settings, press ENTER.

4. Use up/down to select “Audyssey Quick Start” or “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration”.

5. Press ENTER. Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup starts. Test tones are played through each speaker as Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup runs. This process takes a few minutes. Please refrain from talking during measurements and do not stand between speakers and the microphone. Do not disconnect the speaker setup microphone during Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup, unless you want to cancel the setup. If you select “Audyssey Quick Start”, you will go to step 8.

6. Place the speaker setup microphone at the next position, and then press ENTER. Audyssey 2EQ performs more measurements. This takes a few minutes.

7. When prompted, repeat step 6.

8. Use up/down to select an option, and then press ENTER. The options are: Save: Save the calculated settings and exit Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup. Cancel: Cancel Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup. You can view the calculated settings for the speaker configuration, speaker distances, and speaker levels by using left/right. Use up/down to select a target, and use left/right to change the setting.

After the results of Audyssey 2EQ have been saved, the menu will display the “Audyssey”, “Dynamic EQ”, “Dynamic Volume” settings. When “Audyssey Quick Start” has been used for measurement, “Audyssey” cannot be selected. These settings are applied to all input selectors.

10. Press ENTER.

11. Disconnect the speaker setup microphone.

You can cancel Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup at any point in this procedure simply by disconnecting the setup microphone.

Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in “Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected.

When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be used.

This setting is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

Here you can adjust the level of each speaker with the built-in test tone so that the volume of each speaker is the same at the listening position.

These temporary adjustments are cancelled when the AV receiver is set to standby. To save the setting you made here, go to “Level Calibration” before setting the AV receiver to standby.

These settings cannot be calibrated in either of the following cases: The “Audio TV Out” setting is set to “On”. “HDMI Control(RIHD)” is set to “On” and you’re listening through your TV speakers. The AV receiver is muted.

Subwoofer Level: -15dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.

Left, Front High Left, Center, Front High Right, Right, Surround Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left: -12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.

Speakers that you set to “No” or “None” in “Speaker Configuration” cannot be selected.

When the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, the surround back and front high speakers cannot be used.

For the center speaker and subwoofer, the level settings made by using the Quick Setup are saved in this menu.

If you’re using a handheld sound level meter, adjust the level of each speaker so that it reads 75 dB SPL at the listening position, measured with C-weighting and slow reading.

With the Audio Adjust functions and settings, you can adjust the sound and listening modes as you like.

Multiplex Input Channel: Main, Sub, Main/Sub. This setting determines which channel of a stereo multiplex source is output. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Mono Input Channel: Left + Right, Left, Right. This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

PL IIx Music (2ch Input): These settings apply to only 2-channel stereo sources. If you’re not using any surround back speakers, these settings apply to Dolby Pro Logic II, not Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

Panorama: On, Off. With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode.

Dimension: -3 to 0 to +3. With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Higher settings move the sound field backward. Lower settings move it forward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there’s too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it’s in mono, or there’s not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width: 0 to 3 to 7. With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output from only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center). This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound.

PL IIz Height Gain: Low, Mid, High. The Height Gain Control in Dolby Pro Logic IIz enables the listener to select how much gain is applied to the front high speakers. There are three settings, “Low”, “Mid” and “High”, and the front high speakers are accentuated in that order. While “Mid” is the default listening setting, the listener may adjust the Height Gain Control to their personal preference.

If the “Front High” settings is set to “None”, this setting cannot be selected.

If the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, this setting cannot be selected.

Dolby EX: Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby EX flag, the Dolby EX listening mode is used. Manual: You can select any available listening mode. This setting determines how Dolby EX encoded signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected. This setting is effective with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD only.

If the “Surround Back” setting is set to “None”, this setting cannot be selected.

If the “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes” and Zone 2 is turned on, this setting cannot be selected.

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. Changing the value from “0” to “5” will spread the sound of the center channel to left and right (outwards).

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees.

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

With this setting, you can optimize the Theater-Dimensional listening mode by specifying the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

The tone for each speaker is set automatically by Audyssey 2EQ Room Correction and Speaker Setup. To enable the following settings, you must first perform the Room Correction and Speaker Setup.

These technologies cannot be used when: a pair of headphones is connected, or either Pure Audio (European, Australian and Asian models) or Direct listening mode is selected.

Audyssey: Off, Movie: Select this setting for movie material. The Audyssey indicator will light. Music: Select this setting for music material. The Audyssey indicator will light.

When “Audyssey Quick Start” has been used for measurement, “Audyssey” cannot be selected.

Audyssey equalizing does not work with DSD sources.

Off

On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ becomes active. The Dynamic EQ indicator will light. With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

If “Dynamic EQ” setting is set to “OFF”, this technology cannot be used.

0dB: This should be selected for movie contents.

5dB: Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

10dB: Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.

15dB: Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that -30 dBFS band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Off

Light: Activates Light Compression Mode

Medium: Activates Medium Compression Mode.

Heavy: Activates Heavy Compression Mode. This setting affects volume the most. It quiets the loud parts, such as explosions, and boosts the quiet parts so they can be heard.

If you make Dynamic Volume active, “Dynamic EQ” is set to “On”. The Dynamic Vol indicator will light.

When “Dynamic EQ” is set to “Off”, “Dynamic Volume” is automatically switched to “Off”.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

-12dB to 0dB to +12dB in 1 dB steps.

With IntelliVolume, you can set the input level for each input selector individually. This is useful if one of your source components is louder or quieter than the others. Use left/right to set the level.

If a component is noticeably louder than the others, use left to reduce its input level. If it’s noticeably quieter, use right to increase its input level.

IntelliVolume does not work for Zone 2.

Set to “On”, the Auto Standby function may activate itself during playback with some sources.

The Auto Standby function does not work when Zone 2 is on.

After modifying the network settings, you must confirm the changes by executing “Save”.

This section explains how to configure the AV receiver’s network settings manually.

If your router’s DHCP server is enabled, you don’t need to change any of these settings, as the AV receiver is set to use DHCP to configure itself automatically by default (i.e., DHCP is set to “Enable”). If, however, your router’s DHCP server is disabled (you’re for example using static IP), you’ll need to configure these settings yourself, in which case, a knowledge of Ethernet networking is essential.

What’s DHCP? DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used by routers, computers, the AV receiver, and other devices to automatically configure themselves on a network.

What’s DNS? The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. For example, when you enter a domain name such as http://www.onkyousa.com in your Web browser, before accessing the site, your browser uses DNS to translate this into an IP address.

MAC Address: This is the AV receiver’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. This address cannot be changed.

DHCP: Enable, Disable. This setting determines whether or not the AV receiver uses DHCP to automatically configure its IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS Server settings.

If you select “Disable”, you must configure the “IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, “Gateway”, and “DNS Server” settings yourself.

IP Address: Class A: “10.0.0.0” to “10.255.255.255”. Class B: “172.16.0.0” to “172.31.255.255”. Class C: “192.168.0.0” to “192.168.255.255”. Enter a static IP address provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Most routers use Class C IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: Enter the subnet mask address provided by your ISP (typically 255.255.255.0).

Gateway: Enter the gateway address provided by your ISP.

DNS Server: Enter the DNS server address provided by your ISP.

Proxy URL: To use a Web proxy, enter its URL here.

Proxy Port: If you’re using a Web proxy, enter a proxy port number here.

On

Off

This setting enables or disables control over the network. When enabled, the NET indicator will be dimly-lit while the AV receiver is in standby mode. Note that the indicator may not light under certain conditions.

When set to “On”, the power consumption slightly increases in standby mode.

Disable

When this setting is enabled, you will be notified if a firmware update via network is available.

Selecting “Never Remind me” on the notification window will switch this setting to “Disable”.

If you skipped the initial setup wizard, for example on first-time use, you can reaccess it from here. See “Initial Setup”.

1, 2, or 3

When several Onkyo components are used in the same room, their remote ID codes may overlap. To differentiate the AV receiver from other components, you can change its remote ID from “1”, to “2” or “3”.

If you do change the AV receiver’s remote ID, be sure to change the remote controller to the same ID, otherwise, you won’t be able to control it with the remote controller.

Changing the remote controller’s ID:

1. While holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down Q SETUP until the remote indicator lights (about 3 seconds).

2. Use the number buttons to enter ID 1, 2, or 3. The remote indicator flashes twice.

In addition to the main listening room, you can also enjoy playback in another room, or as we call Zone 2. And, you can select a different source for each room. There are two ways you can connect Zone speakers:

1. Connect them directly to the AV receiver.

2. Connect them to an additional amplifier.

Connecting the Zone Speakers Directly to the AV receiver: This setup allows you to select different sources for Main room and Zone 2. This is called Powered Zone, as the Zone 2 speakers are powered by the AV receiver. To use this setup, you must activate the Powered Zone 2 setting. With this setup, the volume of Zone 2 is controlled by the AV receiver. When Powered Zone 2 is used, playback in the main room is reduced to 5.1 channels.

Connecting the Zone Speakers to an Additional Amplifier: This setup allows 7.1-channel playback in your main listening room and 2-channel stereo playback in Zone 2. The volume of Zone 2 must be set on the Zone 2 amplifier.

Operating on the AV receiver:

1. To turn on Zone 2 and select an input source, press ZONE 2 followed by an input selector button within 8 seconds. Zone 2 turns on, the Z2 indicator lights on the AV receiver’s display. To select the same source as the main room’s, press ZONE 2 twice. “Z2 Sel: Source” appears on the AV receiver’s display.

2. To turn off Zone 2, press OFF. The zone is turned off.

Operating on the remote controller:

To control Zone 2, you must press ZONE2 on the remote controller first.

1. Press ZONE2, then point the remote controller at the AV receiver and press RECEIVER. Zone 2 turns on, the Z2 indicator lights on the AV receiver’s display.

2. To select an input source for Zone 2, press ZONE2, followed by an INPUT SELECTOR button.

3. To turn off Zone 2, press ZONE2, followed by RECEIVER. The zone is turned off.

Adjusting the Volume for Zone 2: Operating on the remote controller: 1. Press ZONE2. 2. Use VOL up/down. Operating on the AV receiver: 1. Press ZONE 2 (the Z2 indicator on the AV receiver’s display flash). 2. Use MASTER VOLUME control within 8 seconds.
