Additional Information

The driver will attempt to acquire all variable values in the driver upon initialization.

There may be instances when certain variable values are not received upon initialization, but when a valid result is received during operation, the variable value should update appropriately.

There are 2 sets of variables for the tuner and DAB, one set for the main zone, and the other for zone 2. Variables and control of either can be interactive depending on whether the tuner or DAB is selected in both zones or just on the main zone.

If the tuner is only selected in the main zone, RDS and FM genre information for the tuner are available.

If the main zone is powered off and zone 2 is using the tuner, RDS and FM genre information is available.

If both zones are on, but only zone 2 is using the tuner, RDS and FM genre information will not be available.

Tuner control requires the proper zone to be utilized when sending tuner commands.

If the tuner is in use in both zones, all zone 2 tuner control is rerouted in the driver to use the main zone for control as it has priority over zone 2.

If only zone 2 is using the tuner, the zone 2 tuner commands use zone 2 for control.

It is recommended that the use of the main zone tuner commands be used on user interface pages for the main zone, and the use of zone 2 tuner commands be used on pages for zone 2.
