MR64 Keypad

Operating

Instructions

Congratulations and thank you for choosing this Knoll product. The MR64 keypads are the power behind an advanced music control system that is easy-to-7use with top quality sound available in up to six or more rooms.

The MR64 is only for use with the MVP44, MVP64 and MR640 controller.

The MR64 is available with two LCD colors, yellow- green with black lettering and blue with white lettering (model MR64b). Both versions are available with Decora™ style bezel plates in white, almond, black or ivory colors.

The music system consists of:

1.Rooms with stereo speakers, a MR64 or MR60 keypad or infrared receiver and a remote control.

2.One or more MVP44a, MVP64a or MR640 controller(s).

3.One or more multi-zone amplifier if the MR640 is used.

4.Stereo source components such as tuners, CD players, satellite dish receivers, cassette decks, and other components.

While the MR64 evolved after years of research, its use is straightforward and direct. Some rooms may have more than one pair of speakers but only one keypad or possibly even no keypad.

The music system is controlled by the MR64 and MR60 keypads, RB8 or universal remote, the source components and possibly a whole home controller. The source components are controlled by their individual remote controls by aiming the remote control at the keypad or infrared receiver and pressing the appropriate remote control button.

Please read about the MVP44a, MVP64a or MR640 with the manual shipped with that product.

MR64 Keypad Operation

The MR64 keypad is relatively easy to operate and within a short period of time should be very intuitive.

Please ensure that keys are not pressed too fast as the controller or keypad may be confused. If this happens reset the system powering it off and then on again.
