SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 3
ZR-4 MULTIZONE RECEIVER INTEGRATED WITH A HOME THEATER SYSTEM
The ZR-4 can share source components with a home theater system.
IR CONTROL INPUT
The ZR-4 accepts IR commands from a home theater system through the global IR Control Input. This activates the virtual “home theater zone.”
HT SYNC
This 3.5mm connector lets the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver know when the home theater receiver is active. The ZR-4 will not go into standby
mode or turn off the shared source until all of its zones are off and this voltage is eliminated.
SOURCE COMPONENTS
The audio output of the source components must be routed to both the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver and the home theater receiver. This is best
accomplished using a Niles AVDA-3 Source Level Stereo Audio/Video Distribution Amplifier (FG00814) for each source. A second but less
effective method would be to use RCA Y-adaptors to split the source component outputs in two, one going to the ZR-4 MultiZone Receiver, the
other to the home theater receiver.
