MV-5 Setup
3-19
If the Zone-2 OUT parameter is set to ANALOG and an input has
stereo analog audio assigned to it (ANALOG 1 to ANALOG 6
connectors), then choosing that input in Zone 2 will allow it to play
the assigned ANALOG audio, regardless of what is playing in the
Main Zone.
If the ZONE-2 OUT parameter is set to DOWNMIX, selecting an
input in Zone 2 will have one of the following results:
• If the Zone 2 input is the same as the Main Zone input, then
Zone 2 will output a downmix of the Main Zone audio.
• If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,
but the Zone 2 DIG AUDIO IN parameter is the same as the
selected Main Zone input, then Zone 2 will output a downmix
of the Main Zone audio.
• If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,
but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to 5.1
ANALOG or 7.1 ANALOG, then Zone 2 will output a downmix
of the Main Zone audio.
• If the Zone 2 input is NOT the same as the Main Zone input,
but the Zone 2 ANLG AUDIO IN parameter is set to any of the
six stereo analog input connectors, then Zone 2 will output the
independent analog audio for that input.
The PC, & DOCK inputs are special cases that do not quite function
exactly as noted above. The ZONE-2 OUT parameter is preset to
ANALOG and cannot be changed to DOWNMIX.
Since the PC & Dock inputs all operate independently of all other
inputs...
• Either may be selected in Zone 2 regardless of what is playing in
the Main Zone.
• Any combination of these two inputs can be selected in the
Main Zone and Zone 2, including selecting any one them for
both zones simultaneously.
• If either of these inputs is playing in the Main Zone, the other
ANALOG input can be chosen for Zone 2.
