ZR6001

FEATURES

By simply plugging the power cables of the ZC4001 and ZR6001 into ordinary home electrical outlets, the ZR6001 sends audio sources over your home electrical
line for playback by the ZC4001.

PLC (POWER LINE COMMUNICATION)

The ZR6001* converts analog audio signals into noncompressed linear PCM digital signals, modulates them into high frequency signals, and sends them over
power lines.
The ZC4001 demodulates the sent signals and converts them back to analog signals.

* If the condition of the power line degenerates because of the effects of noise from other devices or for other reasons, the ZR6001 uses an audio format of

different sampling rate and data bit length.

CONNECTING AUDIO COMPONENTS

There is one Audio EXT INPUT jack on the rear panel. You can use this jack to input analog audio signal
from CD, TAPE DECK, or other analog source component.

CONNECTING AC POWER CABLE

Connect the AC power cable of the ZC4001 to a wall electrical outlet. Also connect the AC power cable of
the ZR6001 to a wall electrical outlet.

ROOM A

Notes:

• The ZC4001 and ZR6001 send audio data over power lines. Therefore, if the condition of the power line
degenerates seriously because of the effects of noise from other devices or for other reasons, audio data may
not be received or may skip.

• If the distance of the power line between the ZC4001 and ZR6001 is very long, audio data may not be received
or may skip.

• At the time of purchase, all ZC4001 and ZR6001 are set to the same Group ID. If used with this same Group
ID, you risk having your music listened into by others. Therefore, set the Group ID as explained herein.

• If the following trouble is experienced, block PLC signals from other sources using a commercially available
power filter, etc.

When a ZC4001 and ZR6001 are connected over PLC, another ZR6001 cannot be added to the same power
line and connected over PLC. In this case, PLC signals are not sent.

ENGLISH

Home power line

ROOM B

Up to four ZC4001 units may be connected to the same system at one time.

ROOM C

If a ZR6001 and ZC4001 are connected over PLC in a nearby apartment unit for example, and there is only
a short distance between your apartment and your neighbor’s, the PLC signals from your neighbor’s
apartment can travel over power lines to your place, mix with your system, and prevent audio output.
