NOTE: IN THIS EXAMPLE ZONES 1, 2 AND 3 ARE CONFIGURED FOR PARTY MODE.

After “6” on the Master, it will toggle to “1” on the fi rst connected Slave. After “6” on the last connected Slave, it will toggle back to “1” on the Master.

Repeat these steps until all of the desired zones have been set for the desired Party mode operation.

To continue to the next system confi guration step, PAGE MODE VOLUME, press the Set button once.

To save the settings and exit the confi guration mode, simultaneously hold down the Band and Set buttons. After the ZR-6 saves the information, [RELEASE BUTTONS TO CONTINUE] appears on the display. The ZR-6 will return to the normal operating mode.

PAGE MODE VOLUME

The paging volume level for the selected zones is adjustable. Paging level must be set on each slave as well as the master. Since the paging volume level will be the same for all zones connected to that chassis, we suggest setting a comfortable level in the room that will be used most frequently, or in the smallest room. While in the confi guration mode (see above), press the Set button until [PAGE MODE VOLUME = XX] shows in

the display.
