System-W ide Operation
The ZR-8630A V Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver incorporates system-wide control to activate all zones to a par-
ticular source component. An ALL OFF command is included for complete system shutdown from any zone in
the system.
Paging Input for T elephone Systems
A paging input accommodates telephone systems equipped with a paging output. Audio sensing detects the
paging signal and interrupts source components playing in the various zones, enabling the paging signal to play
through. If a zone is off during a page, it turns on, enabling the paging signal to play through. Front-panel
switches disable this paging feature in any zones where it is not required.
12V Control Output
A control-output connector provides a constant 12V DC trigger signal the moment any zone is activated. This
signal can be interfaced to voltage-triggered AC power strips (i.e., Niles AC-3) for the automation of source
components that can be activated only by switched AC outlets. Also, individual control-output triggers for
zones 4, 5, and 6 provide a constant 12V DC trigger signal for reliable triggering of external amplifiers speci-
fied for zones requiring more power.
Expandable for Larger Multi-Zone Systems
Up to three ZR-8630A
V units can be combined in a single system, providing up to 18 zones. Source components
are connected to all receivers, splitting their audio/video signals with Niles AVDA-3 Audio/Video Distribution
Amplifiers.
Program Memory Protection
The ZR-8630A
V Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver uses non-volatile memory to store its programming. This
safeguards against accidental loss of the programming for the entire life of the product.
