MR60 Keypad with
MVP44 and MVP64
Controller-Amplifier
Congratulations and thank you for choosing this
Knöll product. The MVP44 and the MVP64 amplifier
with its MR60 keypads are the power behind an
advanced music control system, that's easy to use
with top quality sound available in 4 to 18 rooms.
The MVP44 has four output zones and the MVP64
has six output zones. Otherwise the two models are
identical.
Your music system consists of:
1. Rooms with stereo speakers, a MR60 keypad or
infrared receiver and a remote control.
2. One or more MVP44(s) and/or MVP64(s).
3. Stereo source components such as tuners, CD
players, satellite dish receivers, cassette decks,
and other components.
While the MVP44 and the MVP64 evolved after
years of research, its use is straightforward and
direct. Some rooms may have more than one pair of
speakers but only one keypad or possibly even no
keypad.
The music system is controlled by the MR60
keypads RB8 or universal remote, the source
components and possibly a whole home controller.
The source components are controlled by their
individual remote controls by aiming the remote
control at the keypad or infrared receiver and
pressing the appropriate remote control button.
The MVP44 or MVP64 amplifier is usually only
switched off using it's front panel power switch
when it is anticipated that it will not be used for
more than one week. Otherwise the system power
on/off is controlled by the room keypads and
remote controls.
Individual rooms can be controlled by a MR60
and/or an RB8 remote control or a universal remote
control with the RB8 commands installed. The
MR60 keypad controls the room it is located in or
the whole house (all rooms). The RB8 remote can
turn off the whole house but can only turn on and
adjust the room it is in.

MR60 keypads are backlit for easy night use and
only consume 0.10 watts of energy. After sound
volume adjustments the keypad may show the
volume level set briefly when adjustments have
stopped. The three top rows of MR60 buttons show
the level set. The source 1-2 (top) row shows the
highest setting. The FNC-MUTE row shows the
lowest setting. When the button rows blink they
are at their minimum or maximum settings.
The FNC button is used to adjust all room volume
up and down as well as control the four source
components (if a 590 controller was installed). To
access functions 1 - 4 while the system is on and
playing, press FNC (and release) then the 1, 2, 3 or
4 button where the function was installed.
Functions commands can be CD play, tuner channel
up or down, tape deck play or almost anything.
Functions on and off commands are automatically
sent when the system is turned on and off.
