Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this precision audio component and thank you for
your selection of Parasound. The versatile Parasound Zpre is a high-quality two channel
preamplifier that is ideal in multi-zone and multi-room installations. Please take a few
moments now to read these instructions thoroughly so you may fully understand the unique
capabilities of your new preamplifier.
Unpacking
Carefully unpack your Zpre and locate the following accessories:
• Remote control handset
• Two AAA Batteries
• AC power cord
• DC trigger plug with short wire
• Warranty Registration Card
Be sure to inspect the unit for any possible shipping damage. If you notice any, contact
your Parasound Dealer immediately. Save the carton and all of the packing materials in
case you ever need to ship the Zpre for repair.
Installation and Rack Mounting
Locate your Zpre on a sturdy surface and out of direct sunlight that may interfere with
its remote control sensor. Place your Zpre away from equipment such as computers or
tuners that could cause interference.
The Zpre panel dimensions are one rack space high (1 3/4” or 44 mm) by one-half rack
width (9 1/2" or 242 mm). It will fit into a standard 19" wide equipment rack when
mounted side-by-side with another Parasound half-width component. Optional parts
are available from Parasound to rack mount the Zpre by itself or alongside another
Parasound half-width unit.
Before you proceed, locate the serial number on the rear panel and record it here for
future reference:

Making Connections to your Zpre
Before making any connections, turn off the power to your source components and power
amplifier. Make certain that all your connections are secure and that there is no tension on
the cables that could cause them to pull loose later.
