Installation Considerations

PLACEMENT OF THE ZR-4 MULTIZONE RECEIVER

Place the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver on a flat, level surface such as a table or shelf, with its weight equally distributed on each of its four feet. Placing the weight of the receiver on the rear or front panel for even an instant may result in damage to the receiver’s connectors and controls. Like any high-fidelity component, the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver will last much longer if it is given adequate ventilation for proper cooling. When installing the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver in a cabinet, be sure that the rear of the cabinet is open to receive fresh air in order to provide proper cooling. Place the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver so it has air space above it (minimum 1.75”). If this is not possible, we suggest adding an optional Niles FM-1 or FM-1R System Cooling Module. If the receiver is located on a carpeted surface, place a board under the receiver’s feet. Do not block the ventilation holes on the top and bottom. When installed in a professional rack using the rack mounting ears, provide a minimum of 1 unit space above and below the ZR-4.
