PARTY OR WHOLE HOUSE MODE

This feature lets the end-user press-and-hold any Source Selection button for three seconds to turn on the entire house to the same source for a party. It also allows for the press-and- hold of the Off button to turn off the entire system from one zone keypad without the need to walk around to every keypad to do so. By default all zones will respond to Party mode. If there are zones that the end-user does not want to turn on when a press-and-hold is initiated, follow these steps.

NOTE: THIS FEATURE ONLY DEACTIVATES THE PRESS-AND-HOLD TURN- ON AND NOT THE TURN-OFF. THE PRESS-AND-HOLD TURN-OFF

IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AT ANY KEYPAD REGARDLESS OF THIS SETTING.

While in the confi guration mode (see above), press the Set button until [123456 PARTY MASTER] shows in the display. The numbers represent the 6 zones of the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver. A cursor will be blinking under the number “1” or "Zone 1."
