privacyÑwhen youÕre practicing, no one else can hear what youÕre up to. ItÕs also a convenient way to
experience the ZRÕs crystal-clear sound without added noise from other equipment in your rig. The
ZRÕs Volume knob controls your listening volume.
Using headphones is always available as an option, regardless of other audio connections youÕve made
with the ZR-76. Plugging in headphones does not mute the other audio outputs from the ZR-76.
¥ If youÕd prefer to use the ZR-76 in mono through a traditional keyboard or guitar amplifier, or through
a single fader on a mixing console, connect one end of a 1/4Ó phone-type audio cable to the Main Out
Left jack on the ZRÕs back panel, and the other end to your amplifier or mixer. The ÒZR-76 Output
JacksÓ section in Chapter 13 contains technical information about the ZRÕs output jacks.
¥ If youÕd like to operate your ZR-76 in stereo through a pair of faders on a mixing console, a stereo

cable to the ZRÕs rear-panel Main Out Left and Right jacks and the other end to your desired
destination. The ÒZR-76 Output JacksÓ section in Chapter 13 contains technical information about the
ZRÕs output jacks.

capable of producing a far greater dynamic range than a home stereo typically encounters when
playing compact discs, cassettes and LPs. See ÒSetting Volume LevelsÓ below to learn how to safely set
the ZRÕs Volume when using it with a home stereo. YouÕll need two 1/4Ó-phone-to-RCA-type cables, or
youÕll need to create some by attaching adapters to standard 1/4Ó phone or RCA cables. Connect the
1/4Ó phone plug end of each 1/4Ó-to-RCA cable to the ZRÕs rear-panel Main Out Left and Right jacks
and the RCA end to your stereoÕs auxiliary inputs. The ÒZR-76 Output JacksÓ section in Chapter 13
contains technical information about the ZRÕs output jacks.
