MR164 Keypad
Operating
Instructions
Congratulations and thank you for choosing this Knoll product. The MR164 keypads can control the GSZ67
The MR164 is available with two LCD colors, yellow- green with black lettering and blue with white lettering (model MR164b). 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 MR164 keypad or a third party whole house controller and possibly a remote control.
2.One or more GSZ67
3.Stereo source components such as tuners, CD players, satellite dish receivers, cassette decks, and other components.
While the MR164 evolved after years of research, its use is straightforward and direct. Some rooms may have more than one pair of speakers and one or two MR164 keypads or possibly even no keypad.
The music system is controlled by the MR164 keypads, RB12 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 GSZ67 with the manual shipped with that product.
MR164 Keypad Operation
The MR164 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.
