FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Multi-Zone/Multi-Source

The ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver incorporates matrix preamplifier technology to provide two built-in AM/FM tuners and six audio/video source components to six zones simultaneously. Finally, Dad can relax by watching a DVD in the den while the kids listen to their favorite music by the pool.

12-Channel 30W Amplifier for Six Zones of Stereo Sound

The ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver is an integrated solution for multi-zone applications. Six built-in 30W stereo amplifiers provide clear and dynamic sound for six zoned areas. The patented Niles no-strip connec- tors provide fast and reliable connections to the speaker pairs in the listening zones.

Two Built-In AM/FM Tuners

The ZR-8630AV includes two built-in AM/FM tuners. Both of these high-quality tuners are available to all zones and include direct station access. Also, each tuner is programmable with 10 preset AM stations and 10 preset FM stations, for a total of 40 presets per unit.

Central Intelligence

The design of the ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver is a radical departure from that of traditional programmable keypad-controlled multi-zone systems. Instead of redundantly programming each of the indi- vidual keypads with IR commands, all IR commands are programmed and stored in the ZR-8630AV. The IntelliPad® Ci keypad modules and Niles IR Sensors connect to the receiver for complete system control. Total system cost is now dramatically reduced due to shorter programming time and the low cost of the modular key- pads located in each zone.

Quick and Easy Programming with ZR Source Library and Archiving Software

Manual programming is fast and easy, thanks to push buttons and LED visual prompts that lead you step-by-step through the programming process. Additionally, you can use Niles ZR Source Library and Archiving Software to back up all system programming on your PC and to load pre-programmed Source Library Files.

One-Touch Operation with Source-Component Power Synchronization

One touch of a Master Key or Source Button instructs the ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver to per- form a sequence of IR commands for complete automation of your distributed A/V system.

The ZR-8630AV provides both video and voltage Sync Inputs that sense whether the connected source com- ponents are ON or OFF. The unit issues power commands for these source components only if the source com- ponents are actually OFF, turning them on correctly every time. Then the ZR-8630AV selects the proper input for the source component and issues a programmed sequence of IR commands (i.e., Play or Favorite Station).

You can operate a complex mix of audio/video components of various brands with ease and simplicity when using the ZR-8630AV.

Elegant and Intuitive User Interfaces

The Select™ and Solo™ Master Keypad Modules - The Select™ and Solo™ Master Keypad Modules are elegant, single-gang control solutions for the ZR-8630AV. Custom-labeled backlit Master Keys provide complete system activation and source selection. The IR version of each Master Keypad Module contains an integrated IR sensor.

The Numeric™ and Transport™ Accessory Keypad Modules - The Numeric™ and Transport™ Accessory Keypad Modules can be combined with a Select™ Master Keypad Module in any or all zones. The Numeric™ (but not the Transport™) can be included with a Solo™. The Numeric™ provides direct access to discs, tracks, stations, and channels when operating DSS receivers, CD/DVD changers, and the built-in AM/FM tuners. The Transport™ provides basic source-transport functions such as Play, Stop, and Pause, and cursor keys for on-screen menus.

The R-8 Remote - The R-8 Remote is an ergonomic hand-held IR remote control. In zones where Niles Select™ IR or Solo™ IR keypads or IR Sensors have been installed, the R-8 Remote provides system control from any- where in the zone.
