Playback
En-54
When you connect an -capable Onkyo
component, you must configure the input display so
that can work properly.
This setting can be done only from the front panel.
You can temporarily mute the output of the AV
receiver.
You can set which speakers you want to use by
priority.
Note
• This setting is not available in either of the following cases:
–The “Speakers Type(Front)” setting is set to “Bi-Amp” or
“Digital Crossover” (➔ page 65).
–The “Powered Zone 2” setting is set to “Yes”
(➔ page 65).
• Playback conditions may be limited depending on the
settings in “Speaker Settings” (➔ page 64) and
“Speaker Configuration” (➔ page 65).
• When a listening mode which doesn’t support front high,
front wide or surround back speakers is used, this setting
cannot be selected.
The Whole House Mode is useful when you want to
add extra background music to your home party; this
allows you to enjoy the same stereo music as the
main room in separate rooms (Zone 2/3).
The Whole House Mode selects the same input
source for Multi Zone as the main room’s.
