MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM CONTROLLER RMZ-955
22
For 4 RMZ-955s (13-16 zones):
• Remove the jumpers between terminals 2 and 3 of the TX FOR-
MAT blocks on RMZ-955 “B” and “C” and “D” to disable their
flood emitters. Leave the jumper in place on the first RMZ-955
“A” to use its front-panel flood emitter. Remove this jumper to
disable the flood emitter when using back panel IR repeaters.
• Connect terminal 3 of the RMZ-955 “D” TX FORMAT block to
terminal 4 on RMZ-955 “C”.
• Connect terminal 3 of the RMZ-955 “C” TX FORMAT block to
terminal 4 on RMZ-955 “B”.
• Connect terminal 3 of the RMZ-955 “B” TX FORMAT block to
terminal 4 on RMZ-955 “C”. This completes the signal link to the
IR flood emitter on RMZ-955 “A” from the other two RMZ-955s.

Use this jumper arrangement with 4 RMZ-955 controllers.
Disables the IR flood emitters on all but the first controller.
Remove gray jumper if using back panel IR repeaters
from the first RMZ-955 instead of the flood emitter.

Exception: Multiple IR Flood Emitters
As stated above, the general practice is to send IR commands to
the source components from only the first RMZ-955 and to dis-
able the flood emitters on all other RMZ-955 controllers. The pur-
pose of this rule is to prevent IR signals from two different flood
emitters interfering with each other and confusing the source
component.
An exception to this general rule might arise in systems where
some source components are housed in one closed cabinet and
others in a different closed cabinet. In this case, you may wish to
use two or more RMZ-955 controllers, one in each cabinet, to
distribute the IR signals from their flood emitters to the source
components.
This can be accomplished with a jumper wire from Terminal 2 of
the first RMZ-955’s TX-Form block to Terminal 2 on any other
RMZ-955 that needs to have its front-panel flood emitter acti-
vated.
For example, the gray jumper wire in the following illustration is
used to activate the front-panel flood emitter on RMZ-955 “B” in
addition to “A”.

Paging Connections
When using the Paging feature in a multi-controller system, two
additional installation steps are required. See page 11 for an
overview of the paging feature.
a) To trigger the muting and/or paging function, it is necessary to
connect the Paging Trigger input to all RMZ-955 controllers. This
requires making multiple connections from whatever device or
mechanism is used to supply a shorting input.
b) For announcements to be heard in all zones connected to all
RMZ-955s, the paging audio signal must be distributed to all con-
trollers. This can be done by connecting the Paging Audio Output
on the first RMZ-955 to the Paging Audio Input on the second
RMZ-955, using a standard RCA to RCA interconnect cable. Re-
peat this connection from the second to the third controller and
from the third to the fourth, if necessary.
