How to Operate Zone B
The MX134 includes the feature of being able to operate
and control two Audio/Video Zones, independent of each
other. Zone A is designed to be the Primary (Home Theater
Listening Area) with Surround Sound capability. Zone B is
configured for a Secondary Remote Location providing
two channel audio and video programs.
The program source selected for Zone A appears on the
right side of the MX134 Front Panel Alphanumeric Dis-
play, and the program source selected for Zone B appears
on the left side. Zone A Sources are selected by using the
INPUT A (Listen) Selector Switch and the Zone B Sources
are selected by using the INPUT B (Record) Selector
Switch. Refer to figure 72.
1. Zone B may be switched On or Off by pressing the
POWER Push-button on the Keypad or using a Remote
Control aimed at a Sensor located in Zone B. When
Zone B is switched On the MX134 Front Panel Dis-
play will indicate ZONE B ON if Zone A is not active.
Refer to figures 73, 74 and 75.
Note: Zones A and B may be Turned Off by pressing the SYS
Push-button on the Front Panel, Keypad or using the
Remote Control. Refer to figures 71, 73 and 74.
Source selection may also be accomplished from the
MX134 Front Panel INPUT B (Record) Selector.
The separate INPUT B (Record) and INPUT A (Listen)
Switches allow for the making of a recording from one pro-
gram source while listening to another. You can also listen
(monitor) to the recorded signal off the tape, a fraction of a
second later, during recording when a three head tape re-
corder is used. Refer to figure 71.
1. Select the desired program source to record with the
front panel INPUT B RECORD selector switch.
2. Press the REC LOCK (Record Lock) Push-button to
disable any Zone B sensors or Keypads to avoid a
Zone B selection interfering with the recording pro-
cess.
Note: If there is no Zone B connected in your system this
step can be omitted.
3. Adjust the record level using the tape recorder volume
control.
4. To monitor the tape during recording with a three head
tape recorder, or playback the tape just recorded, turn
the INPUT A LISTEN switch to select the recorder
used to make the tape.
Note: The MX134 RECORD OUTPUTS are not affected by
the VOLUME control. To listen to a different program
source while recording, turn the LISTEN switch to the
desired source. The recording process will not be
affected and will continue.
