This unit can control its internal sources (radio,CD, MP3, MC, etc.) to play back them, and fur-ther, can simultaneously play back sources fromexternal equipment connected via CeNET (forinstance, CD changers etc.).

The sources of the MAIN zone are played backfrom the speakers of the vehicle side, and thoseof the SUB zone are from the headphone sys-tems (WH104/WH204).Notes:• Except AUX, the MAIN and SUB zones cannot si-

multaneously use sources inside this unit.Also, external equipment connected via CeNETcannot simultaneously be used.

• The TV mode while the 2-ZONE function is tunedon is forced to change to “VTR playback.”

• The ISR function cannot be operated when the 2-ZONE function is turned on.
