PARTS GUIDE
17) AM/FM Antenna Connections
For connecting the supplied AM and FM antennas.
18) Paging Input
Connects to a compatible telephone system, intercom system and/or a doorbell.
19) Video Sync Inputs
Determines on/off status of connected video device by detecting presence of a video signal.
20) RS-232 Port
A 3.5 mm stereo mini-jack is used to provide RS-232 serial communication so the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver
can be monitored and controlled by an external control system.
21) Voltage Sync Inputs
Determine the on/off status of connected source devices by detecting the presence of a trigger
voltage between 3V and 20V, AC or DC.
22) Keypad Ports
Six zone-specifi c RJ-45 jacks are used to connect the keypads with CAT-5 cable.
23) Expansion Ports
Two RJ-45 jacks are used to connect the Master MultiZone Receiver to the Slave MultiZone Receivers
using CAT-5 cable.
24) MicroFlasher
®
Outputs
Five 3.5 mm stereo mini-jacks are used to connect the optional Niles MicroFlashers (FG01019)
to control the source devices.
25) High Output Flasher
A single 3.5 mm mini-jack is used to connect an optional Niles IRB1 High Output IR Flasher
(FG01023) to control multiple devices from a single fl asher.
26) Global 12V Trigger Output
A single 3.5 mm mini-jack is used to provide a 12V DC trigger to automate the power
turn-on and turn-off of connected devices such as a Niles AC-3 Voltage-triggered AC Power Strip (FG00242).
27) Zone Four, Five, and Six 12V Trigger Outputs
Three 3.5 mm mini-jacks are used to provide a 12V DC trigger to
automate the power turn-on and turn-off of zone-specifi c connected devices such as Niles System Integration Amplifi ers.
28) Global IR Input
A single 3.5 mm mini-jack is used to provide an input connection for IR commands from an external
control system such as the Niles iC2™ Home Theater Automation System (FG01342).
29) HT (Home Theater) Sync Input
A single 3.5 mm mini-jack is used to detect voltage from a connected home theater
system to let the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver know when the home theater is on.
30) Rack Mount Ears
Two metal rack-mount ears are included and can be attached for installing the ZR-6 MultiZone
Receiver into a professional rack.
31) IEC Power Cable Connector
Two-pin connector for the removable power cord.

Three pairs of stereo RCA jacks are used to connect external power
amplifi ers. Can be switched between fi xed or variable output.
34) Source Audio Inputs
Four pairs of stereo RCA jacks are used to connect stereo audio to Sources 3-6.
35) Source 2 Audio Input/iPod Cascade Audio Output
A pair of stereo RCA jacks are used to provide an analog input
for a Source 2 external device when an iPod is not being used with the system. With an iPod, these jacks become
cascade audio outputs to route the iPod’s audio signal to a Slave ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver.
36) iPod Connector
A 30-pin connector is used to provide a connection for an iPod digital music player as Source 2.
