Operating instructions

10 • RearStation 4
Zone
You can assign one of three zones A, B or C to each re-
ceiver. This is useful when operating multiple receivers on
one transmitter – e.g. when transmitting sound to several
rooms.
The functions for activation/deactivation, muting and vol-
ume control normally apply to all devices that are using
the same RF channel.
If one of the zone buttons 20 “A B C” is pushed on the
remote control, the function is only performed by the
devices, which are assigned to this zone. This makes it
possible, for example to reduce the volume in a specifi c
room only.
If a receiver is assigned to a zone, then the functions
of its volume buttons 8 “
” and 10 “ ” and the mute
button 9 “ ” are only valid for devices in the same zone.
It is therefore possible to stop the sound transmission to
a receiver in one room while music continues to play in
other rooms.
By factory default, all devices are assigned to zone “A”.
Setting the zone
It is only possible to assign a receiver to a zone with the
remote control and within eight seconds after the mains
voltage has been activated.
Pull the plug of the mains adapter out of the jack • 12
“Power” and wait approx. 5 seconds.
Insert the mains adapter plug back in the jack • 12
“Power”.
Hold the remote control in front of the receiver and •
push the button 20 “A B C” with the desired zone. The
power LED 11 briefl y fl ashes between red and blue.
Thus the receiver is assigned to the zone.
Sound delay
The digital transmission system of the RearStation 4
delays the sound signal by 20 milliseconds. If a surround
sound system is used, you should compensate this delay
as follows:
If the distances of the speakers can be changed in the •
receiver settings, enter a distance increased by seven
metres for the RF channels. This additional distance
corresponds to a delay of 20 ms. Example: You are us-
ing the RearStation 4 for the two rear speakers, which
are set up three metres behind the listening position.
Then enter a speaker distance of 10 metres (3 m + 7 m)
for the corresponding receiver setting.
If the delay must be set directly in milliseconds in the •
receiver settings, reduce either the delay of the chan-
nels by 20 ms or increase the delay time of all wired
channels by 20 ms.
