This is only possible if you selected the Variable volume

CONTROL again to return to the main zone controls.
You can also press MULTI-ZONE ON/OFF on the front 
panel to switch off all output to the sub zone(s).

MULTI-ZONE remote controls
Set the MULTI-ZONE operation switch to ZONE 2 or ZONE 
3 (VSX-23TXH only) to operate the corresponding zone.

The following table shows the possible MULTI-ZONE 
remote controls:

You can make an audio or a video recording from the 
built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source 
connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

3

Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an 
analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the 
components you are recording to/from are hooked up in 
the same way (see Connecting your equipment on 
page 15 for more on connections). 

Since the video converter is not available when making 
recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use 
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder 
as you used to connect your video source (the one you 
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must 
connect your recorder using Component video if your 
source has also been connected using Component video.

For more information about video connections, see 
Connecting an HDD/DVD recorder, VCR and other video 
sources on page 28.

 

Use the input function buttons (or INPUT SELECT). 

• If necessary, press , 

then 

press SIGNAL 

SEL to select the input signal corresponding to the 
source component (see Choosing the input signal on 
page 61 for more on this).

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording 
device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if 
you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set 
the audio recording level automatically—check the 
component’s instruction manual if you’re unsure.

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog 
signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find 
that the OVER indicator lights often or you can hear 
distortion in the sound.

1 The volume levels of the main and sub zone(s) are independent.
2 • You won’t be able to switch the main zone off completely unless you’ve switched off the MULTI-ZONE control first.

• If you don’t plan to use the MULTI-ZONE feature for a while, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in 
standby.



Input function 
buttons

Use to select the input function directly (this 
may not work for some functions) in the sub 
zone.

Use to set the listening volume in the sub 
zone.

Mutes the sound or restores the sound if it 
has been muted (adjusting the volume also 
restores the sound).

3 •  The  receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

• Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
• Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.

4 The attenuator isn’t available with digital sources, or when using the Stream Direct (ANALOG DIRECT) modes.
