INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

DESCRIPTION

The ZAKIT is a complete solution that provides a link between remotely located audio/video sources

and the main system. The ZAKIT includes a ZATRAN and ZAREC modules that conveniently fit into

any single size, standard gang box.

When used with any of Xantech's award-winning multi-room controllers, such as the MRC88 and

MRAUDIO8X8, the ZAKIT allows a source component to be placed in any room of the house and still

watch, listen, and control that source throughout the entire house.

Balanced differential line driver circuits ensure noise-free connections from audio sources located up

to 300 feet away! Composite video connections with "F" connectors allow coaxial cable to send video

signals up to the same distance as the audio. The ZAKIT's built-in IR interface allows control of the

remotely located source, and works flawlessly with Xantech's IR distribution components and multi-

room controllers.
