OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

IDENTICAL SOURCE COMPONENTS

The ZR-4630 routes the individual source component IR commands with which it has been programmed to specific Flasher Outputs. This provides individual control of identical source components (i.e., two DSS receivers of the same brand and model). These programmed IR commands are routed to the individual Flasher Outputs based on the source components for which they were programmed. The table below designates where IR commands are routed when a zone is selected to one of the three 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 an IR Sensor using Niles hand-held R-4 Remote IR commands (see Programming Overview for more information).

SHARED SOURCE COMPONENTS

Source components (i.e., DVD player, CD changer, DSS receiver) used with a ZR-4630, can be “Shared” with multiple ZR-4630’s and/or a Home Theater system (refer to System Configurations 2, 3, 4, and 5 for more details). The ZR-4630 has been designed to provide coordinated control of these “shared” source components from all zones, of all ZR-4630’s and the Home Theater.

A Source Component in a ZR-4630 Multi-Zone System is considered “shared” when its audio signal is con- nected to more than one ZR-4630 or if it is connected to a ZR-4630 and a Home Theater system (refer to System Configuration 2 and System Configuration 3 for more details).

OPERATING A SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE ZR-4630’S

Operating a system with multiple ZR-4630’s is the same as operating a system with only one ZR-4630. Solo™ Master Keypad Modules in each zone independently operate the zone to which they are dedicated to (i.e., zone ON/OFF, Volume Up/Down, Mute). When a user in a zone from any ZR-4630, presses a key/button, the IR commands required for the shared source components (i.e., Power ON/OFF, Play, Stop, and Channel Up), are issued by the ZR-4630 that has been programmed. See the Programming Section of this manual for specific details on programming.

Important Note: The built-in AM/FM tuners in each of the ZR-4630’s, are not “sharable” between each other or with the Home Theater. The six zones provided by each of the ZR-4630’s listen to and control their own built-in AM/FM tuner (refer to the Programming section of this manual for more details on tuner programming).
