Zone 2
—Continued
The section explains how to turn on, select an input
source, and adjust the volume for Zone 2.
Note:
To control Zone 2 with the remote controller, you must
first press its [ZONE 2] button, and then press the next
button within five seconds (i.e., while the TX-NR901’s
STANDBY indicator is flashing).
Notes:
• If the Sleep function has been set, any Zone 2 compo-
nent will turn off along with the TX-NR901 when the
specified sleep time expires. To use the Sleep function
with Zone 2 only, set the Sleep function and then set
the TX-NR901 to Standby.
• Only analog input sources are output by the PRE OUT
SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs and the SURR BACK/
ZONE 2 SPEAKERS terminals. Digital input sources
are not output. If no sound is heard when an input
source is selected, check if it’s connected to analog
inputs.
• Since the Zone 2 function and the REC OUT outputs
use the same circuitry, if the [REC OUT] button is
pressed, Zone 2 will be turned off.
• When the SURR BACK/ZONE 2 outputs (SPEAK-
ERS/PRE OUT) are set to Zone 2 (page 86), listening
modes that need surround back speakers (i.e., Dolby
Digital EX, DTS-ES, and THX Surround EX) are not
available.
• While Zone 2 is active, functions will not work.
• While Zone 2 is active, the Pure Audio listening mode
cannot be selected for the main room.
•You can’t select different radio bands for Zone 2 and
the main room. For example, if you select FM for the
main room, then FM will also be selected for Zone 2.
