KEY FEATURES
■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 Amplifier 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.
