INDIVIDUAL KEY PRIORITY
To have just one or more function or numeric keys have full priority for any given Source in any given zone [that is, to
always be able to override another zone’s “First Come, First Served” selection on an Individual Key basis (i.e. Play, Stop, etc.
on DVD)], proceed as follows:
1. In a specific Zone, select a specific Source and right click the desired function or numeric key (i.e. Pause) and then left
click
“Priority ON” in the pop-up. (Refer to Figure 41) The key will then have “Priority ON” checked.
2. Repeat the previous step on any other function or numeric key for any Source in any other Zone that should have this
action.

ZONE/WHOLE HOUSE MUTING
Muting can be accomplished two ways: 1) by using Preamp Muting which mutes/unmutes MZC-88 Zone speaker and
preamp level audio outputs; or 2) by using EPR-1.0 Muting Relays when there are two or more rooms, with keypads,
connected within the same Zone. Adding the Muting Relays allows individual rooms, within the zone, to be muted from the
individual room keypads or properly programmed IR remotes. (Preamp Muting would mute all rooms in the Zone.) To use
the relays, proceed as follows:
EPR-1.0 MUTING RELAY
See Pages 12, 30
and 31 for information regarding performance, specifications and connections of the EPR-1.0.
DESIGNATED RELAY MUTE KEY
This will designate one function key for dedicated Toggle Relay Mute action. When programmed in a Zone, the MUTE key
will mute individual keypads within a Zone when pressed for a short time (under 2 seconds). As a system default, the MZC-
88 will also provide
Whole House Muting (all zones, Preamp and Relay Muting) when the key is pressed for more than
2 seconds. When muted, the selected Source key will blink about once per second. Whole House Muting will un-mute (all
zones, Preamp and Relay Muting) when the Mute key is re-pressed for more than 2 seconds. Also, all Muting Relays are
released (un-muted) when the Whole House or last Zone is powered down.
1. First, be sure the room being controlled, with the zone keypad being programmed, has the amplifier connected to
the room speakers via the EPR-1.0 Relay as described in
“Speaker Connection To EPR-1.0 EZ-Pad Relay Muting
Module” on page 30. (See also Figure 19, page 31.)
2. In EZ-Tools, left click the
Zone under Project Content, that is to have Relay Mute programmed (in this case Zone 4,
refer to Figure 43) and then left click the Whole House/Mute tab to the right.
