WHOLE-HOUSE MUSIC IN A BOX

■ Music, Where, When And How You Want It Enjoy up to

four audio sources in up to four different areas (zones)—all

at the same time. The kids can “rock out” upstairs while dad

listens to the news in the den and mom plays her favorite

CDs outside by the pool.

■ Everything You Need The ZR-4 comes with a built-in

AM/FM tuner; four weather-resistant keypads, a hand-held

remote control, three Infrared MicroFlashers

(for controlling

the audio equipment), and a set of rack-mount ears for

installing the ZR-4 into an equipment rack.

■ Built-In AM/FM Tuner Unlike most multizone systems, the

ZR-4 has the AM/FM tuner built right in. It plays music right

out of the box without the need for additional equipment.

■ Weather-Resistant Keypads Install the keypads where you

want, even in areas that get wet like bathrooms, spas or out

on the patio by the pool.

■ 4 Ohm Stable Digital Ampliﬁ er Advanced low-heat digital

power ampliﬁ er design delivers eight channels of robust

power (40 watts per zone/20 watts per channel) with the

ability to comfortably drive two pairs of 8 ohm speakers per

zone.

■ Hand-Held Remote Control Provides advanced control for

the system’s audio sources as well as the local TV and a

second local source, i.e., cable/satellite receiver. It comes

preloaded with the commands for the ZR-4 and many

popular brands of equipment. Unique commands can be

learned by the remote.

■ Plasma/LCD-Proof IR Sensors Each keypad has a built-in

IR sensor that resists interference from ﬂ at-panel plasma or

LCD TVs. The IR sensor is defeatable for areas with direct

sunlight.

■ Voice Paging and Doorbell Chimes The ZR-4’s paging

input enables you to connect a telephone system’s paging

output and/or an optional NIles DBI-1 Doorbell Interface

so that it automatically pauses the music and plays through

the system.

■ Perfectly Calibrated Sound Independent bass, treble,

and variable loudness controls enable you to custom tune

each zone for the best sound quality and match room

acoustics from zone to zone.

■ Party Mode With a single press and hold from a keypad

or remote control, the user can turn on the entire house (or a

preset number of zones) to listen to the same source, which

is ideal for entertaining or setting the mood.

■ Zone Linking Program up to four zones so that turn-on,

source selection, and turn-off work in unison. Each zone

retains independent volume, bass, treble and variable

loudness control, which is a great feature for a restaurant/

bar or for adjacent rooms such as a master bedroom and

master bath.

■ Share Your Home Theater Components The ZR-4 is

designed to intelligently manage source sharing with an

independent home theater system.

■ Flexible Control Options The ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver

can be controlled by secondary control systems via RS-232

devices and/or discrete infrared commands.
