You can operate the receiver using the remote controller. Be sure to
direct the remote controller to the remote sensor (HR-10).
In the following procedure, use the remote controller unless specified
otherwise.
1. Set the A/B-SUBROOM/LEARN switch to "B-SUBROOM".

You cannot select the MULTI-CH INPUT source.
To use the front panel...
(1) Press the MULTI-SOURCE button.
(2) While the MULTI-SOURCE indicator is flashing (for 8
seconds), press the desired source selector button.
Note:
Pressing a source selector button when the MULTI-SOURCE
indicator is not flashing changes the input source for the main room.

to -81 dB)
using the VOLUME u button.
Do not skip this step. It is required to protect the sub-room speakers.

The REMOTE indicator lights up on the display and the sound is
output from the sub-room speakers.
To use the front panel..
Press the SPEAKERS REMOTE button.

It is recommended that you adjust the sound volume while listening
to the sound from the sub-room speakers.
Note:
• If you use the MULTI-CH INPUT or Surround function, no sound
will be output from the sub-room speakers. The Multi-room system
cannot be used with these functions.
• To enjoy sound in only the sub-room, press the SPEAKER MAIN
button to turn off the output to the main speakers.
When you have finished listening in the sub-room, turn down the sound
volume to the minimum for the next opportunity (see step 3 above).

the main room and sets the STEREO mode automatically.
