Sony NHS-2000 User Manual
The NHS-2000 is a six-zone system that can be configured for as few as three and as many as seven
rooms (one Main Room and up to six Remote Rooms). Entertainment comes from a central rack of
equipment near the Main Room. The Main Room system incorporates the following components:
• Sony A/V receiver
• Sony multi-room distribution unit
• Sony 400-disc MegaStorage
®
DVD/CD/Super Audio CD changer with progressive scan
• Sony 400-disc MegaStorage CD changer
• Sony 5-disc DVD/CD changer with progressive scan
• Sony VHS videocassette recorder
• Sony television
• Surround-sound speakers (not supplied by Sony)
Optional Compatible Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV Set-top Boxes*
The main system may also include a cable, satellite or High Definition TV set-top box, integrated by your installer. If your installer has
integrated such a set-top box, you will be able to control the box from the main room and remote rooms, just like any other source
component.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If your system distributes the video output from a single, centralized Cable TV, Satellite TV or High Definition TV
set-top box, your remote room keypads will be LIMITED to a SINGLE Cable, Satellite or High Definition TV channel selected in the main room
set-top box. To get independent channel selection in every room, your installer must distribute the incoming Cable, Satellite or High Definition
TV signal to set-top boxes in every room. In this case, you can use the remote for each set-top box to select channels independently and
use the television remote control to adjust volume. Sound from a local set-top box in the remote room will be heard only through the remote
room television’s built-in speakers, not the system speakers.
