OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

IDENTICAL SOURCE COMPONENTS

The ZR-8630AV provides individual control of identical source components (i.e., two DSS receivers of the same brand and model) by routing the individual source component IR commands with which it has been pro- grammed to specific Flasher Outputs. These programmed IR commands go to the individual Flasher Outputs based on the source components for which they were programmed. The table below designates where IR com- mands go when a zone is selected to one of the six source components.

Important Note: Operation of an identical source component is not possible using its actual IR commands in a zone installed with an IR Sensor (i.e., using the source component’s original remote control or a learning remote control programmed with these IR commands). Identical source components can be operated from a zone with a Select™ IR or Solo™ IR, or an external IR Sensor using Niles hand-held R-8 Remote IR commands. (See Programming Overview, page 53, for more information.)

SHARED SOURCE COMPONENTS

Source components (i.e., DVD player, CD changer, DSS receiver) used with a ZR-8630AV, can be “shared” with multiple ZR-8630AV units and/or a Home Theater system. (Refer to System Configurations 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more details.) The ZR-8630AV provides coordinated control of these “shared” source components from all zones of all ZR-8630AV units and the Home Theater.

A source component in a ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone System is considered “shared” when its audio or video signal connect to more than one ZR-8630AV, or to a ZR-8630AV and a Home Theater system. (Refer to System Configuration 2 and System Configuration 3 for more details.)

OPERATING A SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE ZR-8630AV UNITS

Operating a system with multiple ZR-8630AV units is the same as operating a system with only one ZR-8630AV. Select™ or Solo™ Master Keypad Modules in each zone independently operate the zone to which they are dedicated (i.e., zone ON/OFF, Volume Up/Down, Mute). When a user in a zone from any ZR-8630AV presses a key/button, the programmed ZR-8630AV issues the IR commands required for the shared source com- ponents (i.e., Power ON/OFF, Play, Stop, and Channel Up). See the Programming Section of this manual for specific details on programming.

Important Note: The built-inAM/FM tuners in each of the ZR-8630AV units are not “sharable” between each other or with the Home Theater. The six zones provided by each of the ZR-8630AV units listen to and control their own built-in AM/FM tuners. (See the Programming section of this manual for more details on tuner programming.)
