24. Zone Audio Inputs (8). 3.5mm Stereo Mini Phone Jack for Zone specific stereo audio Server Inputs. Zone
Audio Inputs override rear panel, Source 1 connection. Allows each of the 8 Zones to have a dedicated
Server Output by selecting Source 1 on keypad. Can also be used with Xantech ZA Series Zone Audio
components for adding zone local source audio devices that can be selected by a keypad/remote and played
through the MRC88 to that zone.
25. Zone Audio Pre-Amp Out (8). Gold-plated RCA Jacks for connecting Zone Audio Output to an external
amplifier. For use with applications where either more power is required for Zone or passing to a Dolby Pro
compatible receiver for theater quality audio in zone.
26. IR Emitters (1-8). 3.5mm Mono Mini Phone Jacks. These mini jacks are for the connection of IR emitters to
individually control the eight common source components. These jacks are “steerable” with Universal
Dragon™ Software for IR Routing and Priority Lockout. IR received from a Zone will be routed to the emitter
port corresponding to the Zones active source selection. Can also be configured as 8 common emitter ports
with Universal Dragon™ Software.
27. IR Emitter (Common). 3.5mm Mono Mini Phone Jacks. Single Common IR Output that can be used to
control devices such as Multi Zone Audio Server, motorized drapery systems, TV lifts and lighting systems or

Commands of the MRC88 Controller and the ability to trigger programmed IR Macros for control of devices
connected to the Controllers emitter ports. The Com Port can also be used in the reverse to send ASCII/Hex
commands OUT to control an external RS232 device directly from the MRC88 Keypad and/or handheld
remote.
