■ Voice Paging and Doorbell Chimes The ZR-4's paging input
enables you to connect a telephone system's paging output
and/or an optional Niles DBI- 1 Doorbell Interface so that it
automatically pauses the music and plays through the system.
■ Perfectly Calibrated Sound Independent bass, treble,
and variable loudness controls enable you to custom tune
each zone for the best sound quality and match room
acoustics from zone to zone.

of zones) to listen to the same source, which is ideal for
entertaining or setting the mood.

source selection, and turn-off work in unison. Each zone
retains independent volume, bass, treble and variable

master bath.
