Multi-Zone Remote Operation
The IR remote control signals are the same for both the main and remote
zones. However, when a signal comes into the unit via the Multi-Zone IR
connector on the back of the P-2000 it is automatically routed to a separate
dedicated control path within the unit. The P-2000 will respond to signals
that come in on this input only as they pertain to Multi-zone operation and
appear on the Front Panel Display and the OSD.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In order to control the P-2000 from a remote
location you must use an optional, independently powered Infra-Red
(IR) receiver or repeating system. These are available from any number
of after market suppliers (Xantech, Russound, Speakercraft, etc.). The
output of this device should be connected to the Multi-Zone IR input on
the rear panel of the P-2000, using a two conductor (mono) mini-plug
following the manufacturer’s instructions.
To turn on the P-2000 and control the remote zone from the main
zone:
1.
When the P-2000 is in Standby mode and you are in the main
zone, press the AUD button and then the MULTI button on
the remote control.
This turns on the P-2000 and accesses the Multi-Zone menu. The Front
Panel Display and OSD will show the following:
MULTI-ZONE
MULTI-ZONE :ON
2.
Use the MULTI button to scroll through the Multi-Zone menu
items and the < and > buttons to cycle through the available
options for each menu item.
See the Multi-Zone section on page 29 for a complete description.
The Multi-Zone menu will disappear automatically approximately 5
seconds after your last key press.
NOTE: If the P-2000 is in Tuner mode, you can use the Multi-Zone
menu to check settings. However, to make changes to those settings,
you must access the Multi-Zone menu from the Main Menu. See the
Multi-zone section on page 29.
To turn on the P-2000 and select a source from the remote location:
1.
When the P-2000 is in Standby mode and you are in the
remote zone, press the AUD button on the remote control.
This sets the remote to access the P-2000 and send out appropriate
commands.
2.
Aim the remote control at the remote eye sensor and press
the source button that you wish to listen to.
The P-2000 will turn on its Multi-Zone internal processing and set
the Multi-Zone source to the selected input.
NOTE: If you have chosen Tuner as the input, the unit will revert to
the last selected station that was set before the unit was turned off.
However, you cannot control the tuner remotely.
To choose another source, repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOTE: The remote control will command the selected source until
you press the AUD button again. The MULTI button only accesses the
Multi-zone functions from the Main zone.
To Adjust the volume from the remote zone:
1.
Press the AUD button on the remote control.
2.
Aim the remote control at the remote eye sensor and press
the or VOL buttons
to adjust the remote zone volume.
You can control another unit from the remote zone by either using an IR
junction box or other multi-output connector device as specied by the IR
distribution device supplier. Use either an IR asher attached directly over the
IR receiving window of the unit(s) you wish to control or a hard wired dedi-
cated IR input, like the one on the back of the P-2000, should the secondary
component offer this capability. This will allow direct IR input to individual
units without the concerns associated with using a broadcast asher. IR
ashers, etc. are available from a number of sources as noted above.
Be sure that when using IR ashers you keep the remote zone IR signal from
ashing in the IR receiving window of the P-2000 as this will result in the unit
responding in the main zone to commands intended for the remote zone.
To control another unit from the remote zone:
1.
Aim the remote control at the remote eye sensor and press
the source button that you wish to control.
This sets the P-2000 input to that source and the remote to command
the particular unit (if it has been previously programmed to do so).
2.
While continuing to aim the remote at the remote eye sensor,
press the remote control function buttons to command the
secondary unit.
