After configuring the audio and video inputs, the next line down allows you to have messages con-
cerning the remote zone status (source selected, volume level, etc.) “reported” to the main zone’s
displays or not. Pressing the
›
Menu Control button when this line is highlighted turns the
reporting feature ONor OFF.
The last line on the Remote Zone menu allows you to select whether the remote zone has the
ability to control its volume level locally or is fed a fixed-level signal. Select the Output Level
line and press the
‹
or
›
Menu Control button to choose FIXED or VARIABLE. Note that if
the FIXED choice is selected, an additional line appears below, on which the
›
Menu Control button
will raise the level and the
‹
Menu Control button will lower it.
This feature will be helpful in preventing “excess” volume levels from being selected in the remote
zone, or simply setting a low “background” level for that area.
Remote Zone Operation
To operate the 5.0 in the remote zone, simply press any of the six Remote Zone Analog Input
buttons
R
under the sliding panel on the remote control. (These are the only inputs able to be sent
to the remote zone. Digital sources cannot be selected.) Pressing one of these buttons will turn the
5.0 on if it was off, and feed the selected audio (and associated video) into the remote zone. If the
video monitor is on in the primary zone, and the Remote Zone menu option Rem Zone Msgs
is on, the status of the remote zone will be displayed on it and the front panel display until they time
out. If this option has not been chosen, operation of the remote zone will not be reported to the
displays in the main zone.
If the Remote Zone menu option for VARIABLE remote zone volume was chosen, the volume
may be controlled by use of the Remote Zone Volume buttons
S
. Otherwise, the remote zone
volume level is fixed. In either case, local audio may be muted by pressing the Remote Zone Mute
button
T
; a second push will restore the audio.
When a remote zone session is complete, pressing the Remote Zone Off button
U
will turn of the
signal feeds to the remote zone, and, if the main zone is not in use, will put the 5.0 into standby.
System Reset
There are certain circumstances under which you may wish to return entire sections of custom pro-
gramming to the factory default settings. The 5.0 is sufficiently flexible to allow four different types of
reset. The first three reset only the (surround) Modes, Programs and Calibration Parameters (speakers
setup details). The fourth is a System reset, returning ALL user modifications to original factory settings.
The first three choices are:
• Reset Modes — Select this if you wish to make many changes to the Customer or Party
Surround modes, starting from the original settings.
• Reset Programs — If you wish to reset the Program choices to the original settings.
• Reset Calib Params — This would be used if you are moving your loudspeakers, or are
changing (or adding) loudspeakers.
The last choice, System Reset may cure abnormal system or display operation due to erratic
operation of the system’s memory or microprocessor. Before attempting a system reset, try turning
the 5.0 off using the Master Power button
1
. After pushing this button so that it returns to the
“out” position, unplug the 5.0 from the wall outlet for at least three minutes, then reconnect the
plug, push the Master Power button
1
on, and see if the problem has been corrected. If not, a
System Reset may correct the problem.
