MEMORY PROCEDURE

The Memory function allows information for each zone to
be individually stored, then later accessed by using the pre-
set function. Source, volume level, treble level, bass level,
loudness, and "All On disable" can be stored individually for
each zone.
1) Select the zone you wish to establish presets for, using
the Zone Select
2) Setup all or some of the zone characteristics including
source, volume, bass, treble and loudness to what is
desired.
3) Press the Memory button (Figure 11); the Memory
Indicator will light.
4) To store volume, bass and/or treble levels, press either the
up or down button that corresponds to the characteristic
to be stored.
5) To store current source input selection, press any source
button.
6) To store loudness (on or off) press the Loudness button
(Figure 10).
7) To prevent the zone from turning on when the All On
function is activated, press the All On button.
8) To exit memory mode, press the Memory button until the
Memory Indicator is no longer illuminated.
NOTE: To clear memory, select zone, press Memory
button until Memory Indicator is illuminated, press
Preset button (Figure 11), press Memory button
until Memory Indicator is no longer illuminated.
NOTE: If the main power switch of the PR-4Z is
turned off, all information stored in memory will be
lost!! Use of a UPS power backup device will elimi-
nate this problem as well as offering surge protection.

PRESET PROCEDURE

The Preset function will access information previously stored
in memory and automatically set zone characteristics (vol-
ume level etc.) to those stored in memory. The Preset func-
tion may be accessed at the PR-4Z front panel, PCK-IR key-
pad or through an IR receiver.
1) Select zone using the Zone Select buttons (Figure 11).
2) Make certain that the zone has settings stored in memo-
ry. If there are no settings stored follow the memory pro-
cedure to establish presets.

3) Press the Preset button.
4) Zone characteristics should now reflect what was previ-
ously stored in memory.

PARTY MODE PROCEDURE

Party Mode allows synchronous operation of all zones which
are listening to a single source (CD player etc..). Two modes
are provided to accommodate different control criteria.
1) Set zone 1 volume and source to the desired setting for
the entire system. Turn on those zones you wish to have
"participate" in party mode operation.
2) Press the Party Mode button. The Source Lock indicator
will light and the source and volume level which was ini-
tially set in step 1 will be reflected in all other zones (2-4)
which were turned on when the Party Mode button was
initially pressed.
3) The system is now in Source Lock Mode. In this mode,
once the initial setup (step 2) of volume level and source
was uploaded to zones 2, 3 and 4 is complete, you can
now adjust volume independently in all zones from either
keypad, IR receiver or front panel. In Source Lock Mode,
source changes can only be made from the front panel;
keypads and IR receivers are unable to make source
changes.
4) If the Party Mode button is pressed a second time, the
Source Link indicator will light. Source selection for all
zones at this point is linked, so that if any zone changes a
source, all other zones will follow. Source link will operate
similarly to Source Lock except that whole-house source
changes can be made from any keypad, IR receiver or
front panel.
5) To exit Party Mode operation, press the Party Mode but-
ton until both the Source Lock and Source Link indicators
are no longer illuminated.
6) To use the Party Modes with multiple PR-4Zs which are
using the interface cable connection, setup each of the
PR-4Zs' zone 1 to the desired volume and source setting.
Press the Party Mode button until the desired mode is
selected. Source changes will now be linked between all
zones.
