ZR-6 MULTIZONE SYSTEM DESIGN GUIDE
Customer Benefi ts
The ZR-6/VS-6 combination offers your
customer a cost-effective MultiZone
system that distributes both high defi nition
video and audio throughout the home. By
centralizing components into one area,
your customers eliminate "gear clutter" in
every room while gaining access to video
programming throughout their home with
a simple press of a button.
Installation Benefi ts
The VS-6 High Defi nition Component
Video Switcher is easily integrated with
the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver. The VS-6 is
controlled by an R-8L or any learning
IR remote control.

1 Source 2 output is used to route iPod audio signal to slave ZR-6 chassis. This AVDA-3 is only required if a 2nd slave receiver is included.
2 The inputs used on the VS-6 must match the inputs used on the master ZR-6 chassis.

Up to 3 pairs of 8 ohm speakers can be connected to the SI-2125 amplifi er.
4 IR Sensor can be directly connected to the TS-Pro. IRH-610 is only required for IR Sensors in zones with Solo-6IR or Solo-6MD keypads.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
All CAT-5 wiring must be terminated
using the T568 wiring convention. These
steps are required to confi gure a ZR-6 for
operation:
1. Set tuner presets
2. Confi gure unit through front panel
display
3. Teach IR codes into chassis
4. Create sequences for all Master keys
5. Set bass, treble, variable loudness, and
IR sensor on/off each zone from
keypad
6. Program all remotes (remotes must
be programmed with IR sequences to
control the ZR-6 and the local TV). The
ZR-6 controls the VS-6 automatically.
All connections on the VS-6 must
match the source inputs and zone
outputs on the ZR-6. Example: a DVD
connected to source 3 on the VS-6
would also connect to source 3 on the
ZR-6, and the zone 4 video output of
the VS-6 must match the zone 4 audio
output of the ZR-6.

Always specify a secondary remote
control for all audio/video zones.
When installing the Solo-6IR or Solo-6MD
into a "wet" environment, the unit must
have a complete "positive" seal with the
mounting surface. This is achieved by
using silicone caulking on the gap around
the plate and the Decora
installing the wall plate to complete the
seal. It is recommended that additional
installation time (and charges) be applied
to these keypad locations. It may be
necessary to disable the IR sensor if the
keypad is exposed to direct sunlight.
Whenever an iPod is connected to a
ZR-6, the Input 2 RCA jacks become an
iPod cascade output. These are used
to route the iPod audio signal to any
additional Slave chassis.
The ZR-6 can ONLY be used with the
SmartDock2 and ES2. Please check the
