The Niles ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver Kit is simple to configure.
Configuration is accomplished using the front panel buttons and
LCD display. No computer is necessary.
NOTE: THE MASTER UNIT, THE SLAVE UNIT (IF APPLICABLE), ALL SOURCE
COMPONENTS, KEYPADS AND SPEAKERS MUST BE CONNECTED PRIOR TO
PERFORMING ANY OF THESE OPERATIONS.
MAIN POWER
The ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver has a mechanical latching main
power switch on its front panel. The ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver and
its accessories will not work until it has been engaged. Press in the
main power switch to the on position. It will glow white to indicate
that it is in standby and ready to operate.
CONFIGURATION MODE

seconds and then power it up again while simultaneously holding
down the Band and Set keys. Release the Band and Set Keys when
[ RELEASE BUTTONS TO CONTINUE ] appears on the display.
[ MASTER ] will be on the display. If you have two ZR-4 Receivers,
repeat the above step on the Slave. [ MASTER ] will be on both displays.
MASTER/SLAVE
On the ZR-4 that you wish to configure to be the Slave, press the
Set key. [ MASTER ] will change to [ SLAVE ] on that unit while the
other will remain [ MASTER ].

CONNECTED TO THE MASTER AND NOT TO THE SLAVE. IR FROM THE
KEYPADS CONNECTED TO THE SLAVE CHASSIS WILL BE ROUTED TO THE
MASTER CHASSIS VIA THE EXPANSION CONNECTION PORT.
ZONE LINKING
This feature allows two or more zones to always play the same
source at the same time. Linked zones will turn-off and turn-on to
the same source in unison. Volume, bass and treble will remain
independent for each zone.
NOTE: ONLY ONE ZONE LINKING GROUP MAY BE CREATED PER UNIT (ONE
FOR THE MASTER, ONE FOR THE SLAVE).
While in the configuration mode (see above). Press the Band
Key until [ 1234 LINKING MASTER ] shows in the display.
A cursor will be blinking under the number “1.”
Press the + key to toggle between the zones. The cursor blinks
under the zone number when it is highlighted. Press the Set key to
make a highlighted zone a linked zone. [ L ] will appear below that
zone number.
Once you reach “4” it will toggle back to “1” on the Slave. Once you
have reached “4” on the Slave it will toggle back to “1” on the Master.
Repeat these steps until all of the desired zones have been linked.
