SYSTEM INSTALLATION

ZR-6 MULTIZONE RECEIVER SYSTEM INSTALLATION

CONNECT THE LOUDSPEAKERS

CAUTION! ALL SPEAKER WIRE CONNECTIONS MUST BE MADE WITH THE RECEIVER POWER OFF.

There are six sets of removable speaker wire terminals, one for each zone. The terminals accept speaker wires up to 14 AWG in size. Each terminal has four screw-down connections for speaker wire: one positive (+) and one negative (-) for each speaker. Unscrew the connection, insert the appropriate bare speaker wire, then tighten

firmly (Figure 12). Should a speaker output be shorted for some reason, the power-on diagnostics routine in the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver will detect this short and display the specifi c output experiencing the issue on the front panel LCD display. If a speaker output is open, the amplifi er for that output is disabled by the power- on diagnostics. Should a speaker be connected later, the amplifi er for that output will be enabled during the next power-on sequence.

MultiZone Receiver

CONNECT THE EXTERNAL POWER AMPLIFIERS

If a zone is a particularly large area, or if high volume levels are required, it is suggested that Zones 4, 5, or 6 be augmented by an additional stereo power amplifi er such as a Niles Systems Integration Amplifi er. The zone Preamplifi er outputs are selectable for variable or fi xed output in the confi guration menu. The dedicated 12V output from each respective zone can be used to turn on the Systems Integration Amplifi er power when the zone is active. The Global 12V output can be used to turn on the Systems Integration Amplifi er’s power when any zone is active.

CONNECT THE NILES IR MICROFLASHERS

Each Niles MicroFlasher (sold separately) connects into the Flasher Outputs 2-6. The MicroFlasher portion is placed directly over the IR sensor of the corresponding source component (Source 2 for MicroFlasher 2, Source 3 for MicroFlasher 3, Source 4 for MicroFlasher 4, Source 5 for MicroFlasher 5, and Source

6 for MicroFlasher 6) and adheres with the included adhesive. Remove the protective paper cover to expose the adhesive and attach to the source component. A MicroFlasher is not used to control the iPod. The iPod receives all control signals via the 30-pin connector cable.

NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT A MICROFLASHER TO THE HIGH OUTPUT FLASHER PORT AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE MICROFLASHER.

CONNECT A HIGH OUTPUT FLASHER

A Niles IRB-1 High Output Flasher (FG1023) is used to control multiple devices. The mini-plug end of the IRB-1 connects to the "High Output Flasher" output on the ZR-6 (the ZR-6 is shipped with a red plastic plug blocking this jack to prevent accidental connection of a MicroFlasher. Remove the red plastic insert by pulling it out from the jack). The IRB-1 should be positioned to provide IR transmission to all source components.
