CONFIGURATION 7 – MULTIPLE LISTENING AREAS IN A ZONE
A single zone of the ZR-4630 can be set up to contain more than one listening area (i.e., an adjacent living
room and dining room). This configuration is chosen when the speakers in the zone are not required to be
played at separate volume levels or to be on/off separately.
In Figure 11, speaker cable is connected to the speaker outputs of Zone 3 and then parallel connected to the
speakers in both the living room and the dining room. A Solo
™
Master Keypad Module is located in each area.
A Niles IntelliPad
®
Ci Expander
™
is required to connect the two Solo
™
Master Keypad Modules in a single zone.
When connected, all keypads in a zone work in tandem with one another (i.e., all control the same zone and
display the same Zone ON/OFF, Mute, and Input Select Status).
A maximum of two pairs of 8 ohm speakers can be added to a zone in this manner. An external amplifier is
required for zones with more than two pairs of speakers.
