MULTIROOM OPERATION 35

Multiroom Operation

ultiroom

he AVR is fully equipped to operate as the con-

trol center for a complete multiroom system that

is capable of sending one source to a second

zone in the house while separate source is lis-

tened to in the main room. In addition to provid-

ing for control over the selection of the remote

source and its volume, the AVR offers a com-

prehensive range of options for powering the

speakers in the second zone.

• Using the line-level Zone 2 Outputs

, the

selected source may be fed to optional, external

power amplifiers that may be matched to the

specifics of the installation (Zone 2 Outputs on

VR 355 only).

• When the main room system is configured for

5.1 operation, the Surround Back Left/Right

amplifier channels may be used to power the

remote zone so that no additional amplifiers are

required.

• Using built-in A-BUS Ready technology,

optional A-BUS modules may be connected to

the AVR via a single Category Five wire, so that

remote zone speakers may be powered directly

from the module or keypad without the need for

additional power, IR sensor or volume control

wires to be run to the second zone. (Please note

that the A-BUS functionality is featured in AVR

355 only).

In addition, the AVR includes a remote IR sensor

input so that remote control commands from the

Zone II remote included with the (AVR 355 only)

or from the main remote when set to Zone 2

with the slide Switch

may be transmitted to

the unit, while standard IR input/output jacks

allow the remote zone’s commands to be sent to

compatible IR-controlled source devices.

Installation

Although simple remote room systems may be

installed by the average do-it-yourself hobbyist,

the complexity of your multizone/multiroom sys-

tem involves running wires inside of walls where

the services of a specially trained installer may

be required. Regardless of who does the work,

please remember that local building codes may

govern in-wall electrical work, including proper

specification of any wiring used and the way in

which it is connected. You are responsible for

making certain that all Multiroom installation

work is done properly and in compliance with all

applicable codes and regulations.

For standard installations, follow the instructions

shown on page 18-19 for the connection of

speaker wire and IR remote wiring to the AVR.

For installations where the Surround Back

Left/Right amplifier channels are used to power

the remote zone, make certain that the system is

configured for that type of operation, as shown

below.

For installations where A-BUS modules are used,

follow the instructions provided with the A-BUS

remote modules or keypads.

Additional information will also be made avail-

able through the Harman Kardon Web Site at

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have

been made, the AVR needs to be configured for

multiroom operation using the steps below.

Press the AVR button

to bring the main

menu to the screen. Press the

⁄

Button

until the ZONE 2 menu line is highlighted in

blue. Press the OK button

to enter the menu.

Figure 18

When the ZONE 2 menu appears, the blue

cursor bar will be at the

Status: Off line.

Since this line is used to turn the system on and

off, do not make an adjustment here unless you

wish to turn the system on at this time. To turn

the system on, press the OK Button

once, to

turn it off again, press once more. If you do not

wish to turn the system on at this time or to pro-

ceed to the next step, press the

Button

once so that the blue cursor bar is highlighting

the

Source line.

At the

Source line, press the press the OK

Button to cause the Source List to slide in from

the right. Use the Up/Down Button

to select

the source.. When the selection has been made,

press the OK Button

to confirm your choice,

and continue to the

Volume line by pressing

the

Button

At the

Volume line, press the

‹

›

buttons

or hold them pressed until the desired vol-

ume level for the multi-room system is entered.

DO NOT use the regular volume control knobs

for this setting.

urround Amplifier Channel

ssignment

The AVR is equipped with seven full-power

amplifier channels to allow for complete

7.1-channel operation without the need for

additional external amplifiers. However, in some

installations you may wish to use the traditional

5.1-channel configuration for the main listening

room, which allows the surround back left/right

amplifier channels to be used to power speakers

laced in a remote zone location.

If you wish to use the Surround Back channel

mplifiers to power the remote zone, you must

change a setting in the

MULTIROOM

SETUP

menu. To make that change, first call

up the menu system by pressing the AVR

Button

to bring the main menu (Figure 1) to

the screen. Next, press the

Button

until

the

Zone 2 menu line is highlighted in blue.

Press the OK Button

to enter the Zone 2

menu.

The Surround Back Amps line is used to assign

the surround back channels for multizone opera-

tion. Select the Zone 2 setting when multizone

listening is desired. If the multizone system is

not in use, this setting may be changed to Main

Room to accommodate a 7.1-channel system.

When the multiroom system is turned off, this

line will always display the MAIN setting. When

the multiroom system is turned on, this line will

always display the MULTI setting, reflecting that

the surround back channels are always assigned

to the remote zone when the multiroom system

is used.

Remember that once this setting is made you

will not be able to take advantage of any of the

6.1/7.1- channel decoding or processing modes,

and no Surround Back speakers must be

selected in the speaker setup procedure outlined

earlier. In addition the speakers used for the

remote zone must be connected to the

Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker

Outputs

. The volume for these speakers is

set by the multiroom system, as explained

above.
