ABOUT MZC-88 QUICK START GUIDE

MZC-88 QUICK START GUIDE is intended to provide top-level instructions for Installation, Configuration and
Connection of a SpeakerCraft MZC-88 System. MZC-88 Quick Start focuses on a MZC-88 'default' system,
that is, a basic eight zone system that includes up to eight audio/video sources, (including the two internal
AM/FM Tuners) that matches the MZC-88 default project included in the EZ-Tools download. This Quick Start
Guide can also be used for getting more sophisticated systems started, but when planning and installing ex-
panded systems with multiple controllers, external amplifiers, multi-room zones or when changing the layout
of the keypad buttons, it is highly recommended that the MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions be used
for reference and guidance. Additionally, the Hardware Installation Instructions provide much greater detail
in regard to instructions given here. MZC-88 Hardware Installation Instructions are available as a download
from www.speakercraft.com.
Once a MZC system has been installed, though capable of some basic functions out of the box such as
ON/OFF, Source Selection and Volume/Mute, configuration of MZC-88 advanced features requires Speaker-
Craft EZ-Tools Programming Software. EZ-Tools and the EZ-Tools MZC Programming Instructions can be down-
loaded from: www.speakercraft.com.
