SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
CONFIGURATION 7 – MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS IN A ZONE
Y
ou can set up a single zone of the ZR-8630AV to contain more than one listening area (i.e., an adjacent liv-
ing room and dining room). Choose this configuration when the speakers in the zone need not play at sepa-
rate volume levels or be ON/OFF separately.
In Figure 11, speaker cable connects to the speaker outputs of Zone 3 and then parallel-connects to the
speakers in both the living room and dining room. Each area has a Master Keypad Module. Use a Niles
IntelliPad
®
Ci Expander
™
to connect the two Master Keypad Modules in a single zone. All connected keypads
in a zone work in tandem (i.e., all control the same zone and display the same Zone ON/OFF, Mute, and Input
Select Status).
Within a zone, you can use Master Keypad Modules in any combination. All connected keypads in a zone work
in tandem (i.e., all control the same zone and display the same Zone ON/OFF, Mute, and Input Select Status),
except that Solo
™
and Solo
™
IR keypads cannot activate or display the status of sources 5, 6, 7, and 8 because they
have only four Master Keys. Activation of these sources in a zone equipped with Solo
™
or Solo
™
IR keypads simul-
taneously lights up their Master Keys 3 and 4.
You can add one or two pairs of 8-ohm speakers to a zone in this manner. For zones with more than two pairs
of speakers, an external amplifier is necessary.
