ZONE AUDIO INPUT

(Factory Default = “DISABLED”)

Select ENABLE to utilize the Zone Audio Inputs on the rear of the MRC88 Controller Amplifier - Figure 3-(24). Use this feature to interface Zone Specific audio components such as a Multi Zone Audio Server or individual zone CD, MP3 Hard Disk Player or other zone specific audio source.

Components connected to these audio inputs are selected under the Source 1 selection button on the corresponding Zone Keypad. Enabling this feature will defeat the Source 1 audio left and right inputs connected to the Source 1 Component Audio Input – Figure 3-(22)giving priority to the Zone Audio Input. Video connected to the Source Component Video Input will still be passed.

NOTE: To control individual components or specific zones of an audio server, use the ZONE IR OUT from the specific zone or for certain devices, the rear RS232 port can be used.
