or 7.2ch + HDZONE in Step 2, select the placement of the surround speakers.
In a 7.2-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the
surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. This function mixes the sound of the surround speak-
ers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it should be.
Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to
achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to ON SIDE or IN REAR .
! ON SIDE – Select when the surround speakers is positioned right beside you.
! IN REAR – Select when the surround speaker is positioned obliquely behind you.
4 When ‘Setting Change?’ is displayed, select Yes.
If No is selected, the setting is not changed.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Using Multi-ZONE Music
Multi-ZONE Music can be used to play the same sound in the MAIN ZONE, ZONE 2 and ZONE 3, for example for
home parties. Normally set Speaker System to 5.2 +ZONE 2+ZONE 3 for multi-zone/multi-source playback, then
switch it to Multi-ZONE Music when having a home party. When this is done, the sound of the input function
selected for the MAIN ZONE is played in all zones (the MAIN ZONE, ZONE 2 and ZONE 3).
! There is virtually no delay in the sound.
! Switching of the input for only ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 is disabled, but the volume can be adjusted or muted for the
individual zones.
! This is only valid for ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 connections using the speaker terminals. No sound is output from the
ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 pre-out terminals. Nothing is output from the ZONE 2 and ZONE 3 COMPONENT VIDEO
output and VIDEO output terminals.
! The HDZONE setting does not apply to Multi-ZONE Music.

page 49 are correct. Note that this setting applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be set independently.
