Multi-Zone/Multi-Source
The ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver incorporates matrix preamplifier technology to
provide two built-in AM/FM tuners and six audio/video source components to six zones simultaneously. Finally,
Dad can relax by watching a DVD in the den while the kids listen to their favorite music by the pool.
12-Channel 30W Amplifier for Six Zones of Stereo Sound
The ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver is an integrated solution for multi-zone applications. Six built-in
30W stereo amplifiers provide clear and dynamic sound for six zoned areas. The patented Niles no-strip connec-
tors provide fast and reliable connections to the speaker pairs in the listening zones.
Two Built-In AM/FM Tuners
The ZR-8630AV includes two built-in AM/FM tuners. Both of these high-quality tuners are available to all zones
and include direct station access. Also, each tuner is programmable with 10 preset AM stations and 10 preset FM
stations, for a total of 40 presets per unit.
Central Intelligence
The design of the ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver is a radical departure from that of traditional
programmable keypad-controlled multi-zone systems. Instead of redundantly programming each of the indi-
vidual keypads with IR commands, all IR commands are programmed and stored in the ZR-8630AV. The
IntelliPad
®
Ci keypad modules and Niles IR Sensors connect to the receiver for complete system control. Total
system cost is now dramatically reduced due to shorter programming time and the low cost of the modular key-
pads located in each zone.
Quick and Easy Programming with ZR Source Library and Archiving Software
Manual programming is fast and easy, thanks to push buttons and LED visual prompts that lead you step-by-step
through the programming process. Additionally, you can use Niles ZR Source Library and Archiving Software to
back up all system programming on your PC and to load pre-programmed Source Library Files.
One-Touch Operation with Source-Component Power Synchronization
One touch of a Master Key or Source Button instructs the ZR-8630AV Audio/Video MultiZone Receiver to per-
form a sequence of IR commands for complete automation of your distributed A/V system.
The ZR-8630AV provides both video and voltage Sync Inputs that sense whether the connected source com-
ponents are ON or OFF. The unit issues power commands for these source components only if the source com-
ponents are actually OFF, turning them on correctly every time. Then the ZR-8630AV selects the proper input
for the source component and issues a programmed sequence of IR commands (i.e., Play or Favorite Station).
You can operate a complex mix of audio/video components of various brands with ease and simplicity when
using the ZR-8630AV.
