Zone 2 Operation

Note: Zone 2 must fi rst be enabled 

using the OSD (see page 36), or it 
will not work. Zone 2 can be turned 
on even if the Main Zone is off.

If you have an amplifi er and a pair 

of speakers in a second room or 
area (Zone 2), they can play a stereo 
source independent of what is play-
ing in the Home Theater room (Main 
Zone). You can also play the same 
source as selected in the Main Zone.

Zone 2 plays stereo sources, and is 

unaffected by the Tone controls, DSP, 
Holographic Image, surround modes 
or bass management. 

Connections

The connections for Zone 2 are 

shown on page 24. 

Note: Zone 2 can play analog 

sources independent of what is play-
ing in the Main Zone. It cannot play 
from a digital-only source unless that 
input is selected and playing in the 
Main Zone. To play a source such as 
a DVD player in Zone 2 independent 
of the Main Zone, make sure you 
connect the player's L-R analog audio 
output to the TGP-5. 

Indicators

The front panel has two LEDs to 

show the Zone 2 status:

Zone 2 ON      

This LED is 
always on 
when Zone 2 
is on. If it is 
off, there will 
be no output 
to the Zone 2 
amplifi er.

Zone 2 Adjust                            

This turns on whenever the Zone 
2 source or volume is being 
changed. Note: if this is on, then 
any adjustments you make of vol-
ume or input, will affect Zone 2, not 
the Main Zone.

In addition to these LEDs, the front 

panel display will show the input and 
volume adjustment.

Turning on Zone 2

Use the On Screen Display in the 

Main Zone to check that Zone 2 is en-
abled. (See page 36, middle column 
for details). This enables the Zone 2 
system, but it still has to be turned on.

Press the remote's ZONE 2 button. 

The remote's POWER, VOLUME and 
MUTE buttons then work for Zone 2. 
The remote display changes as fol-
lows:

ing in the Main
