Multiroom Operation
Multiroom operation is simple, and it
may be controlled from either the main
listening room where the AVR65 is located,
or from a remote room when an optional
IR sensor is connected to the
Multi jack
c on the rear panel.
To activate the feed to the remote room,
press the
Multi button ¯ f on the
front panel or remote. Next, press the
⁄ or ¤ buttons g on the remote or the
Selector buttons ¸ on the front panel
until the MULTI indicator K illuminates
in the front panel Information Display.
Press the
Set button i ˜ to enter
the setting.
When the multiroom system is turned on,
the previously selected input will be fed to
the
Multi Out jacks d on the rear panel.
The volume will be as set in the previous
selection, although it may be further
adjusted using an optional volume con-
trol in the remote location or on the
optional audio power amplifier connected
to the
Multi Out jacks d .
If an optional IR sensor is located in the
remote room and connected to the
AVR65’s Multi IR jack, the multiroom
system may be turned on or controlled by
simply pointing the AVR65 remote, or an
optional programmable remote that
includes codes for the AVR65, at the IR
sensor. Note that depending on the type of
programmable remote used, it is probable
that the code for the Multi button will not
be contained in the pre-programmed
code library, and must be “learned” into
the remote, if possible.
To change the input source for the source
to the multiroom feed once it has been
turned on, follow the instructions shown
above in the Multiroom Setup section of
this manual.
Once the multiroom system is turned on,
it will remain on even if the AVR65 is
placed in the Standby mode in the main
room by pressing the
AVR Selector a
or the System Power Control 2 on
the front panel. To turn the multiroom
system off, press the
Multi button ¯
f , and then the ⁄ or ¤ buttons g
on the remote or the Selector buttons
¸ on the front panel until the MULTI
indicator K goes out. Press the Set
button i ˜ to enter the setting.
