ZR-6 MULTIZONE SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE
Installation Bene ts
The ZR-6 is a scalable MultiZone
Receiver with native iPod integration and
a desirable feature set that includes a
touchscreen, a water-resistant keypad
option with metadata, preamp outputs,
4-ohm stable digital amplifi er, and paging
ability. Additionally, high defi nition video
distribution can be easily added on to the
ZR-6 by using the VS-6 High Defi nition
Component Video Switcher. Most
importantly, the ZR-6 is able to control
and power manage all sources connected
to it through built-in IR learning and power
sync technology.
Customer Bene ts
The ZR-6 offers your customer a cost-
effective MultiZone receiver that allows
One Touch to Entertainment from an
easy-to-learn keypad or touchscreen.
They get complete control of their iPod
through a recognizable user interface from
any location in the house.
CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE
When installing the Solo-6IR or Solo-
6MD into a “wet” environment, the
unit must have a complete “positive”
seal with the mounting surface. This
is achieved by using silicone caulking
on the gap around the plate and the
Decora
®
style insert and then installing
the wall plate to complete the seal.
It is recommended that additional
installation time be applied to these
keypad locations. It may be necessary
to disable the IR sensor if the keypad is
exposed to direct sunlight. The TS-Pro
touchscreen should not be mounted in
a wet environment.
Whenever an iPod is connected to a
ZR-6, the Input 2 RCA jacks become
an iPod cascade output. These are
used to route the iPod audio signal to
any additional Slave chassis.
The ZR-6 can ONLY be used with the
SmartDock2 and ES2. Please check
