ZR-6 MULTIZONE SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE
WHAT DOES THIS APPLICATION DO?
This application demonstrates how to remotely locate a SmartDock2 and connect it to both a PC and the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver.
DO THIS FIRST
Review the compatible iPod models list
CRITICAL KNOWLEDGE
1) The SmartDock2 and ES2 are not
compatible with any fi rst generation
SmartDocks or ES1s!
2) The 30-pin iPod cable supplied with
the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver connects
the ZR-6 (or ES2 input wall plate)
directly to an iPod. The 30-pin cable
supplied with the SmartDock2 and
ES2 connects the SmartDock2 or ES2
output wall plate to the ZR-6, or the
ES2 input wall plate to a SmartDock2.
Please note these two 30-pin cables
are not the same and cannot be
interchanged.
3) Although CAT-6 offers higher
communication speeds, its increased
twists per inch may reduce the
maximum distance between the two
wall plates. CAT-5 is recommended for
wire runs greater than 75 ft.
4) In a multi-chassis ZR-6 MultiZone
Receiver system, there can be only one
iPod connected to the system.
Key Considerations
The SmartDock2 connects an iPod to
the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver and enables
you to sync with iTunes on a computer.
The ES-2 extension kit allows you to
conveniently integrate an iPod to the ZR-6
from anywhere in the home.
Customer Bene ts
Integration of an iPod into a ZR-6 MultiZone
Receiver becomes seamless and elegant.
Installation Bene ts
The ES2 and SmartDock2 combination
allows the installer to locate the iPod in
any location that the customer desires,
while still being accessible to the ZR-6
MultiZone system.
