OPERATING THE ZR-6 MULTIZONE RECEIVER

FROM THE SOLO-6IR KEYPAD

OPERATING A LISTENING ZONE

1.Press a Master key to turn on the selected source in the zone. The selected Master key will illuminate.

2.The source will start playing in the zone at either the last- played volume level, or the confi gured preset volume level (see the “Keypad Configuration” section).

3.Any programmed source selection sequence (see the

Building IR Sequences for Source Devices” section) will be executed, unless the selected source is already playing in another zone or is in an off-delay. Source in use: Fast blink 5 seconds. Pressing the Master key a 2nd time will issue the sequence.

4.When the zone turns on, the global 12V trigger on the rear panel of the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver becomes active, the 12V output on the keypad becomes active, and, if zone 4, 5, or 6 is selected, the respective 12V output on the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver becomes active.

5.The Vol + and Vol – keys raise and lower the volume in the zone. A continuous press raises or lowers the volume until the key is released.

6.The Mute key silences the zone speakers without affecting the source device. The active Master key slow blinks when muted.

7.When the zone is muted, press the Mute key, the Vol + or Vol – key, or any Source key to restore the volume to the previous level.

8.Press the Off key to turn off the zone. The source device will turn off after a delay if it is not playing in another zone. The source key illumination will turn off. The 12V outputs for zones 4, 5, and 6 will turn off after a 5-second delay. And if no other zones are on, the global 12V output will also turn off after a 5-second delay.

RADIO FUNCTIONS:

1.When the radio is playing, pressing the Radio key will toggle through the station presets stored in the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver.

2.Press the < and > key to seek up or down to the next clear station.

3.Press the Play/Pause key to toggle between the AM and FM bands.

4.When a Numeric-6P Accessory Keypad is installed with the Solo-6IR, press the Fav key and then the numeric keys (two digit inputs such as 01, 02, 19, etc.) to directly access a stored preset station.

5.When a Numeric-6P Accessory Keypad is installed with the Solo-6IR, pressing the numeric keys 0 – 9 provides direct access tuning to radio stations. For example, pressing the number keys 1, 0, 2, and 7 will tune in radio station 102.7.

iPod FUNCTIONS:

1.When selected, the iPod begins playing the last-played song with the repeat mode active. The Master key will blink fast if the iPod is not connected.

2.Press the < and > keys to select the previous or next song in the play queue.

3.Press the Play/Pause key to toggle between play and pause.

OTHER SOURCE FUNCTIONS:

1.Pressing any function key on the Solo-6IR or Numeric-6P (if installed) will issue the IR command programmed for the respective key.

PARTY (WHOLE HOUSE) MODE:

1.Press-and-hold a Master key on any installed keypad to turn on the selected source in all enabled zones (see “Party Mode” in the Confi guration section). Each zone will react as if the source key was pressed in that particular zone.

2.Press-and-hold the Off key to turn off the entire system

(all zones).

TECH TIP

When the AM/FM tuner is selected to play in the Party mode by pressing-and-holding the Radio key

on a keypad, the last-selected station in that zone will play in all zones enabled for the Party mode. To

change the station while in the Party mode, tune in a new station in a zone, and then press-and-hold the Radio key. The new station will play in all zones enabled for the Party mode.
