Controlling Zones 2 - 4 from Remote Locations
With a properly configured IR repeater system, you have full control of
Zones 2-4 using the supplied remote control, from the zone locations.
You can select and operate a source, adjust the volume, and turn
the relevant Zone on or off. Whatever commands you send from the
remote control will change ONLY the Zone for the location you are in,
just as if you were controlling a totally independent audio system in
that room. These changes will not affect the main listening room.
To turn the Zone on or off, press ON/OFF buttons on the remote.
To adjust the volume in the Zone, press the VOLUME buttons on the
remote. To select a different analog input source, press one of the
INPUT buttons on the remote or front panel.
