Switching the speaker system
If you selected Speaker B in Surround back
speaker setting on page 94, three speaker
system settings are possible using
SPEAKERS.
If you selected Normal, Front Bi-Amp or
ZONE 2, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system on or off. The options
below are for the
Speaker B setting only. 1
• Use SPEAKERS on the front panel to
select a speaker system setting.
As mentioned above, if you have selected
Normal, the button will simply switch your
main speaker system (A) on or off.
Press repeatedly to choose a speaker system
option:
• SP A – Sound is output from speaker
system A and the same signal is output
from the pre-out terminals.
• SP B – Sound is output from the two
speakers connected to speaker system B.
Multichannel sources will not be heard.
The same signal is output from the
surround back channel pre-out terminals.
• SP AB – Sound is output from speaker
system A (up to 5 channels, depending on
the source), the two speakers in speaker
system B, and the subwoofer. The sound
from speaker system B will be the same as
the sound from speaker system A
(multichannel sources will be downmixed
to 2 channels).
• SP  (off) – No sound is output from the
speakers. The same sound is output from
the pre-out terminals (including from your
subwoofer, if connected) as when
selecting speaker system A (above).
Using the MULTI-ZONE controls
The following steps use the front panel controls
to adjust the sub zone volume and select
sources. See
MULTI-ZONE remote controls on
page 70.
1 Press the MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF button
on the front panel.
Each press selects a MULTI-ZONE option:
• ZONE 2 ON – Switches the MULTI-ZONE
feature on
• 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.
• When the receiver is on, 2 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.
3 Use the INPUT SELECTOR dial to select
the source for the sub zone.
For example,
ZONE 2 CD-R sends the source
connected to the CD-R inputs to the sub room
( ZONE 2).
• If you select TUNER, you can use the tuner
controls to select a preset station (see
Saving station presets on page 52 if you’re
unsure how to do this).
3
• VSX-919AH model only: iPod/USB and
SIRIUS Radio function cannot be selected
for the MULTI-ZONE feature.
Note
1 • The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Manual speaker setup on page 94. However, if SP B is
selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).
• Depending on the settings in
Surround back speaker setting on page 94 output from the surround back pre-out
terminals may change.
• All speaker systems (except
Speaker B connections) are switched off when headphones are connected.
2 If the receiver is in standby, the display is dimmed, and ZONE 2 DVD for example shows in the display.
3 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.
