TX-8260-Multi-Zone Playback
Basic operations
You can enjoy audio in the separate room by, for example, playing a Blu-ray Disc player in the main room (where this unit is located) and listening to internet radio in the separate room (ZONE 2).
- DSD format files cannot be output to Zone 2.
- You can only select the same inputs for the main room and separate room with the "NET" or "BLUETOOTH" input selector. If you have "NET" selected in the main room and then select "BLUETOOTH" in the separate room, the main room also switches to "BLUETOOTH". You cannot select different stations for the main room and separate room with the AM/FM radio.
- If ZONE 2 is on, power consumption during standby becomes larger than normal. Furthermore, RI linking features may not work.

Settings are required in the Setup menu to adjust the volume and sound quality on a power amplifier in another room. Press SETUP on the remote controller, and set "5. Zone2" - "Z2Out" to "Variable". Otherwise, high-volume sound may cause damage to the power amplifier or speakers.
Perform the following procedure when the unit is on.
- Press REMOTE MODE ZONE 2 (a) on the remote controller.
The remote controller switches to the mode for controlling ZONE 2. - Face the remote controller at this unit and press Í (c).
The "Z2" indicator on the display lights. - Press the input selector (d) of the input you want to play in the separate room.
On the main unit, after pressing ZONE 2, within 8 seconds turn the INPUT dial to select the input to be played in the separate room. To play the same source in the main room and separate room, press ZONE 2 on the main unit twice. - To adjust the volume on the power amplifier in the other room, press ZONE 2 on the main unit, then adjust with the master volume dial within 8 seconds. Alternatively, you can use the VOLUME
3/4 or MUTING buttons on the remote control after pressing the REMOTE MODE ZONE 2 button.
- Adjust the volume on the pre-main amplifier if you have connected with a pre-main amplifier in the other room.
- You can also adjust the sound quality of a power amplifier connected in a separate room. After pressing ZONE 2 on the main unit, within 8 seconds turn the BASS dial, TREBLE dial, or BALANCE dial to make the adjustments.
Please Note
To return the remote controller to main room control mode: Press REMOTE MODE MAIN (b) on the remote controller.
To turn off the function:
Press the POWER button while the remote controller is in the mode for controlling ZONE 2. Alternatively press OFF on the main unit.
Playing in ZONE 2 only:
If you turn the unit to standby during multizone playback, the Z2 indicator is dimmed and the playback mode is switched to playback in a separate room only. Turning ZONE 2 on while the unit is in standby also switches the playback mode to playback in a separate room only.
