AM/FM tuner; four weather-resistant keypads, a hand-held remote control, three Infrared MicroFlashers the audio equipment), and a set of rack-mount ears for installing the ZR-4 into an equipment rack.

■ Built-In AM/FM Tuner Unlike most multizone systems, the

ZR-4 has the AM/FM tuner built right in. It plays music right out of the box without the need for additional equipment.

■ Weather-Resistant Keypads Install the keypads where you

want, even in areas that get wet like bathrooms, spas or out on the patio by the pool.

■ 4 Ohm Stable Digital Ampliﬁ er Advanced low-heat digital

power ampliﬁ er design delivers eight channels of robust power (40 watts per zone/20 watts per channel) with the ability to comfortably drive two pairs of 8 ohm speakers per zone.

■ Hand-Held Remote Control Provides advanced control for

the system’s audio sources as well as the local TV and a second local source, i.e., cable/satellite receiver. It comes preloaded with the commands for the ZR-4 and many popular brands of equipment. Unique commands can be learned by the remote.

(for controlling

■ Plasma/LCD-Proof IR Sensors Each keypad has a built-in

IR sensor that resists interference from ﬂ at-panel plasma or LCD TVs. The IR sensor is defeatable for areas with direct sunlight.

■ Voice Paging and Doorbell Chimes The ZR-4’s paging

input enables you to connect a telephone system’s paging output and/or an optional NIles DBI-1 Doorbell Interface so that it automatically pauses the music and plays through the system.

■ Perfectly Calibrated Sound Independent bass, treble,

and variable loudness controls enable you to custom tune each zone for the best sound quality and match room acoustics from zone to zone.

■ Party Mode With a single press and hold from a keypad

or remote control, the user can turn on the entire house (or a preset number of zones) to listen to the same source, which is ideal for entertaining or setting the mood.

■ Zone Linking Program up to four zones so that turn-on,

source selection, and turn-off work in unison. Each zone retains independent volume, bass, treble and variable loudness control, which is a great feature for a restaurant/ bar or for adjacent rooms such as a master bedroom and master bath.

■ Share Your Home Theater Components The ZR-4 is

designed to intelligently manage source sharing with an independent home theater system.

■ Flexible Control Options The ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver

can be controlled by secondary control systems via RS-232 devices and/or discrete infrared commands.
