20 CONFIGURA TION 6 – MUL TIPLE SOLO ™ MASTER KEYP AD MODULES IN A ZONE The single zone of a Niles ZR-4630 MultiZone Receiver can be expanded to contain multiple Solo ™ Master Keypad Modules providing control from many locations within the zone.
CONFIGURA TION 7 – MUL TIPLE LISTENING AREAS IN A ZONE A single zone of the ZR-4630 can be set up to contain more than one listening area (i.e., an adjacent living room and dining room). This configuration is chosen when the speakers in the zone are not required to be played at separate volume levels or to be on/off separately .
22 CONFIGURA TION 8 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MORE POWER Each zone of the ZR-4630 provides RCA preamplifier output connections for the connection of external amplifiers. External amplifiers can be used to provide more power in a zone. In Figure 12, an external amplifier has been connected to zone 3.
CONFIGURA TION 9 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MUL TIPLE LISTENING AREAS A zone of the ZR-4630 can be set-up to contain more than one listening area by adding an external amplifier (i.
24 CONFIGURA TION 1 0 – EXTERNAL AMPLIFIER IN A ZONE FOR MUL TIPLE ROOMS The preamplifier output connectors on the ZR-4630 for zones 4, 5 and 6 have a fixed/variable setting. Using the fixed setting with an external amplifier enables a zone to be divided up into individual rooms using conventional Niles Impedance Matching V olume Controls.
CONFIGURA TION 1 1 – SYSTEM P AGING AND EXTERNAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM A Paging Input connection on the rear panel of the ZR-4630 provides a connection for the paging output signal of pop- ular telephone systems for voice paging through the speakers in the listening zones (see Figure 1 5).
26 CONFIGURA TION 12 – IR REPEA TING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTS An IR Repeating System can be integrated into a room connected to the Niles ZR-4630 (see Figure 1 7). This enables a single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control.
Infrared Command Compatibility IR control testing was conducted on many equipment brands to determine their compatibility with the ZR- 4630. T ypical A/V source components (i.e., CD, DVD, DSS, Cable Boxes, etc.) from each brand were chosen for the test.
28 WHA T IS SOURCE-POWER SYNCHRONIZA TION? The ZR-4630 has been designed to keep track of the ON/OFF condition of the three source components connected to the system. This enables source components that utilize the same IR command for ON and OFF to be automated.
CHOOSING A SYNCHRONIZA TION METHOD Once you establish that all source components in the system have compatible IR commands, the next step is to choose the appropriate Sync Method for each component. There are two ways to detect when a component is ON or OFF: V ideo or V oltage Sync.
30 Vo ltage Sync V oltage Sync is also a reliable method of synchronization if chosen and implemented correctly . The Sync Inputs can detect the control out voltage from a Niles Signal Sensing product interfaced to the source component.
Light Sensing Using a light sensor (LS-1) to synchronize your components is usually your last choice, simply because the other choices are more reliable.
32 OPERA TIONAL OVERVIEW MASTER KEYS/SOURCE BUTTONS The Master Keys available on the Solo ™ Master Keypad Module and the Source Buttons on the hand-held R-4 Remote (Figure 21) provide “one-touch activation” of the ZR-4630 and source components.
Master Key/Source Button Events When you press a Master Key on a Solo ™ Master Keypad Module or a Source Button on the hand held R-4 Remote, as many as four events occur . The first event is factory programmed and activates the zone which you are located.
MASTER KEY/SOURCE BUTTON OPERA TION The Master Key/Source Buttons have two methods for operating the system. Single-Zone Operation The first method, a quick tap of a Master Key/Source Button in a zone (holding the Key/Button for less than three seconds), causes only that zone to turn ON.
OFF Key Events When you press the OFF Key/Button, as many as two events occur . The first event is factory programmed and is responsible for turning the zone or all zones OFF every time the OFF Key/Button is pressed.
VOLUME KEYS/VOLUME BUTTONS The V olume Keys on the Solo ™ Master Keypad Module and the V olume Buttons on the hand-held R-4 Remote provide control of volume for individual zones.
MUTE KEY/MUTE BUTTON The Mute Key/Button provides a method of turning the sound ON/OFF for a brief moment in an individual zone without turning the zone OFF (this also prevents the source component from being turned OFF).
FUNCTION KEYS/BUTTONS The Solo ™ Master Keypad Module, the Numeric ™ Accessory Keypad Module, and the hand-held R-4 Remote include various function keys for control of the built-in tuner and the connected source components. Figure 26 illustrates the available function keys for all of the control devices.
Function Key/Button Operation for the Built-in T uner The commands for operation of the built-in tuner from the function keys/Buttons are pre-programmed. Figure 27 depicts the available commands for the tuner , their function key/button location, and a description of their action on the tuner .
Band-Shift Button The Band Shift Button toggles the selected tuning band between AM and FM. Station Scan Buttons A quick tap of the Station Scan Buttons increments the tuner one frequency step.
Important Note: Operation of an identical source component is not possible using its actual IR commands in a zone installed with an IR Sensor . (i.e., using the source component’ s original remote control or a learning remote control programmed with these IR commands).
OPERA TING A SYSTEM INTEGRA TED WITH A HOME THEA TER Operation from the Stereo Zones Provided by the ZR-4630 User operation from the zones provided by ZR-4630’ s, are not affected when integrating a Home Theater to share source components (see System Configurations 4 & 5).
When the Home Theater turns ON, it provides a 1 2V Status signal that is connected to the Home Theater Sync Input on the rear panel of the ZR-4630. This 1 2V Status signal provides the ON/OFF status of the Home Theater to the ZR-4630.
PLACEMENT Place the ZR-4630 on a flat, level surface such as a table or shelf, with its weight equally distributed on each of its four feet. Placing the weight of the amplifier on the rear or front panel for even an instant will result in damage to the amplifier's connectors and controls.
TERMINA TING FOUR-P AIR TWISTED CABLE The Solo ™ Master Keypad Modules, the Expander , and the ZR-4630’ s System Expansion connections require a four -pair twisted cable with a one-to-one wiring configuration. T o maintain consistency throughout all Intellipad Ci installations, we recommend the color -coding pattern described in Figure 31.
CONNECTING IR SENSORS An IR sensor can be connected to a Solo ™ Master Keypad Module in one of two ways, directly with a four -pair twisted cable (see Figures 34 and 35), or with a three-wire to RJ-.
47 CONNECTIONS SOURCE-COMPONENT POWER AND HOME THEA TER SYNCHRONIZA TION SIGNALS 1. V ideo Synchronization from a Source Component to a ZR-4630 Sync Input An RCA Y -adapter is used to split the video output of a source component for connection to one of the three Source Sync Inputs of the ZR-4630 (2, 3, or 4).
48 CONNECTIONS SYSTEM EXP ANSION 5. System Expansion Input to System Expansion Output Four -pair twisted cable, terminated with male RJ-45 plugs, connects multiple ZR-4630's using the System Expansion Input and Output terminals.
49 CONNECTIONS CONNECTING AN IR SENSOR FOR LOCAL SYSTEM CONTROL IR Sensors installed in zones for hand-held IR remote control of the ZR-4630 and its source components can also be used to control local components (i.e., a TV , DSS, DVD, and a surround-sound system located in the master bedroom zone as shown in figure 38).
50 CONNECTIONS CONNECTING AN A/B AMPLIFIER SWITCH FOR LOCAL SYSTEM SELECTION A Niles SPK-1 V oltage Activated Speaker Level A/B Switcher connects to both the ZR-4630 and a local system to provide sound from each system to the same speakers located in a single zone.
