The Paging input on the rear panel of the ZR-4 Receiver provides a connection for voice paging and/or doorbell sounds through the speakers in the listening zones. The optional Niles DBI-1 Doorbell Interface (FG01034) provides realistic doorbell chimes throughout the house and includes a connection for the output signal of telephone or intercom systems. By default, all zones respond to a page. The system can be configured so only specific zones respond to paging (see Configuration on page 18 for details).
