FEATURES AND BENEFITS

The R-4 Remote - The R-4 Remote provides system control via an ergonomic hand-held IR remote control. Zones that have been installed with Niles IR Sensors can take advantage of the R-4 Remote, providing system control from anywhere in the room.

System-Wide Operation

The ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver incorporates system-wide control to activate all zones to a particular source component. An ALL OFF command is also included for complete system shutdown from any zone in the system.

Zone Linking

The ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver incorporates Zone-Linking to allow a grouping of zones to be controlled as a single zone. Turn-On, Source selection, Paging and Turn-Off all work in unison, yet each zone has indepen- dent Volume adjustment and Muting.

Paging Input for Telephone Systems

A paging input is provided for telephone systems equipped with a paging output. Audio sensing is utilized to detect the paging signal. Source components currently playing in the various zones are interrupted, enabling the paging signal to play through. If a zone is off during a page, it turns on, enabling the paging signal to play through. Front-panel switches are provided to disable this paging feature in any zones where it is not required.

12V Control Output

A control output connector provides a constant 12V DC trigger signal the moment any zone is activated. This signal can be interfaced to Voltage Triggered AC Power Strips (i.e., Niles AC-3) for the automation of source components that can only be activated via switched AC outlets.

Expandable for Larger MultiZone Systems

Up to three ZR-4630’s can be combined in a single system, providing 18 zones. Source components are connect- ed to all receivers, splitting their audio signals utilizing RCA Y-adapters or Niles AVDA-3 Distribution Amplifiers.

Program Memory Protection

The ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver utilizes non-volatile memory for storage of its programming. This safeguards against accidental loss of the programming for the entire life of the product.
