Niles Audio MRZ-6 - Manual (Page 4)

Features and Benefits
Audiophile Quality Independent Line-Level Volume Control
The ultimate in sound quality for every room in the house. Each room is independently adjusted for volume
via one of the six built-in volume controls. Unique digital line-level gain circuits provide 136dB of dynamic
range in 1dB increments with distortion and noise specifications that are unbelievably low when compared to
conventional circuitry. The MRZ-6 multi-room system makes no compromises in audio performance.
Never Disturb Others
The MRZ-6 ROOM ON/OFF and VOLUME UP/DOWN commands enable you to control the room you are
in without affecting the rest of the system. You can fine tune your listening area without disturbing others in
another room. Of course, if you turn on the system, only the room you are in turns on. The rest of the house
stays muted until music is desired in another room.
A Single Touch Turns On All of Your Favorite Rooms
All of your favorite rooms can be turned on instantaneously by pressing and holding either the CD or the Tuner
buttons for more than two seconds. Switches on the rear panel of the MRZ-6 enable you to individually choose
which rooms turn on when the ALL ON command is received (so that the baby’s room does not turn on when
you are entertaining).
A Single Touch Turns Off Your Entire System
Pressing and holding the On/Off button on a keypad or a remote control will turn off all rooms and turn off
your preamp/receiver, CD player and other components. You will never worry if something is still on when
you go to bed or leave the house.
One Touch Automation For CD and Tuner With the Niles RP-9 Keypad
The RP-9 keypads have two keys labeled “CD” and “Tuner”. When the CD button is pressed, the MRZ-6 intel-
ligently “checks” to see if your preamp/receiver and CD player are on or off. If they are off, the MRZ-6 turns
them on. Then after it “knows” that the components are on, it selects the CD as the source and issues the “Play”
command (a two step macro). Likewise, when you press the Tuner button, the system is configured for you
to listen to radio (another two step macro).
This is accomplished by teaching the MRZ-6 the “power” command (or separate “on” and “off” commands),
the “CD” and “Tuner” input commands for the preamp/receiver; one additional command for the CD player
(typically “play” or “random-play”) and one additional command for the Tuner (some tuners respond to a sin-
gle numeric command by recalling a favorite radio station).
One Touch Automation and Full Source Control for up to Six Components with the Niles IntelliPad
The Niles IntelliPad provides intelligent turn on and ten step macros for up to six sources. The sources are cus-
tom labeled on six backlit keys. Additionally, after a source has been selected, the right hand buttons of the
IntelliPad offer full control of the selected source (i.e. play, stop, pause, disc skip up, disc skip down, track skip
up and track skip down) and volume up, down and mute.
One Touch Automation and Full Source Control via Niles IR sensors
All IR commands required to control the MRZ-6 can be taught to a learning remote control via the the MRZ-6’s
teaching IR flasher. This conveniently integrates control of your source components with control of your MRZ-6.
Niles IR sensors relay commands and sequences from the learning remote control to the MRZ-6 and display the
status of a room (a green LED lights when the room is on). Niles manufactures a wide range of IR sensors, includ-
ing in-wall, cabinet-mount, surface-mount, tabletop or even omnidirectional ceiling-mount sensors.
