Zone ALL ON/PAGE Enable Switches

Individual DIP switches enable or disable System Wide All ON commands and the paging feature.

DB-9 Computer Interface

Laptop connection enabling program configuration backup/downloading using ZR-4630 archiving software.

Sync Inputs

Video and voltage sensing RCA Sync Inputs 2, 3, and 4 are for detecting when a source component is on/off for reliable system activation. The HT mini plug Sync Input senses voltage for determining the on/off status of a Home Theater sharing source components with the ZR-4630.

Paging Input

A mono RCA input for a paging signal from a tele- phone system.

Keypad Inputs

Six female RJ-45 jacks for the connection of the IntelliPad Ci® Master Keypad Modules.

System Expansion

Two female RJ-45 jacks for connecting multiple receivers together in larger multi-zone systems.

Flasher Outputs

Three 3.5mm jacks provide an output connection for IRC-2P MicroFlashers, one for each connected source component. A fourth is designed for the IRC-1P FloodFlasher.

IR Input

A single 3.5mm jack provides an input connection for IR commands sent from a Home Theater. These IR commands are used for control of source components shared with a ZR-4630.

12V Control Output

A single 3.5mm jack provides a 12V DC trigger signal for use with voltage-triggered AC power strips (i.e., Niles AC-3) to control source components requiring activation via a switched AC outlet.

Tuner Antenna Inputs

A female coaxial F-connector and two spring-loaded bare-wire jacks provide connection to the included FM and AM antennas.

Audio Inputs

Three pairs of stereo RCA jacks provide input connec- tions for source components.

Individual Zone Preamplifier Outputs

Six pairs of stereo RCA jacks provide output connections for external amplifiers used instead of, or in conjunction with, the ZR-4630 built-in amplifiers.

Fixed/Variable Preamplifier Output

Adjustment Switch

Two-position switches, included for zones 4, 5, and 6, provide the ability to change the individual preampli- fier outputs to either a variable or a fixed signal.

Speaker Connector

Gold plated, dual banana plug spaced, five-way speaker binding posts provide connection to speakers in the listening zones.
