Can't disable multi-zone on AVR-3300...Help please?! (1 Viewer)

[Rico Trujillo]

Hello,

The multi indicator is off. Its set to "MULTI-SOURCE SOURCE." Yet I watch/listen to any source and I can hear it coming from the my second zone. For now my temp. solution is engage a source that's not connected (MD/Tape).

Is my temp. solution bad for the receiver?
I'm stumped. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Rico

Two ways to blank the Multi-Out:

1. Select a source with nothing connected.
2. Turn the Multi-volume all the way down, if you have the multi-out set to variable. For this to work, I'm pretty sure you have to be in Multi, not Source, but I can't remember.

That's it. I have a Pronto, and my "System Off" macro puts the multi-output to VCR2 (my unused input). That way, when I power the system back up, I don't get accidentally blasted in the Study.

And, you won't do any harm to the receiver by doing what you're doing.

Thanks Todd.

Out of curiosity where in Orlando are you. I moved back to NY from Orlando.

Todd,

I lived a little far. Sand Pointe condos in the Dr. Phillips area.

Anyway, I have one more question. The same multi-zone "problem" has popped up in a 2802. I'm thinking that if the multi-out is connected it will always send a signal regardless if I've selected the same source as the main zone, or an independent source i.e multi-zone "on."

In order to have no sound in the second zone just do what we've discussed already, or shut off the amp powering the second zone, right?

I guess the question is, the second zone playing whatever the main zone is playing is normal, and both receivers are fine?

Yes, that's normal.
