Niles Audio ZR-8630AV

Introducing the ZR-8630AV MultiZone Receiver from Niles that is built upon the concepts and advanced technologies of the award-winning ZR-4630 to provide the total one-box solution for home entertainment. It’s the perfect blend of simplicity, automation and value that you and your customers have been asking for. The ZR-8630AV delivers composite video as well as audio to six listening zones throughout the home. It combines with IntelliPad® Ci Keypads, IR sensors, and Niles R-8 remotes to provide simultaneous multi-zone access and control of two internal AM/FM stereo tuners and up to six external audio/video sources. A built-in 12-channel amplifier delivers a robust 30 watts per channel to each zone for clear and dynamic sound, even into low-impedance loads. This benchmark product will change the way custom installers distribute entertainment throughout the home. IR codes for controlling external audio/video sources are programmed and stored in the ZR-8630AV, dramatically reducing installation time.

The Total One Box Solution. Introducing the A/V multizone receiver only Niles could bring to market. Easy to program. Easy to install. Easy to use. All in a single attractive package. The ZR-8630AV opens vast new opportunities for distributed sound and video applications.

MultiZone/MultiSource Control. The ZR-8630AV incorporates the latest in matrix-based technology to distribute up to eight sources (including the two built-in stereo tuners and up to six external audio/video sources) to six listening/viewing zones simultaneously. Dad can view and listen to his favorite DSS program in the den, the kids can enjoy rock ’n roll by the pool, while mom relaxes to classical music in the tub.

Reliable, One Touch Operation. A single touch of a Master Key on the IntelliPad® Ci Select IR keypad or Source Button on the R-8 remote initiates the ZR-8630AV to issue a sequence (macro) of up to 64 IR commands and delays. Sync Inputs on the ZR-8630AV sense whether the connected source components are on or off. Depending upon the power state of the source components, the appropriate power commands are issued, then the desired input is selected, followed by the sequence of IR commands, i.e., Play or Favorite Station. This intelligent power synchronization found in the ZR-8630AV is fundamental to reliable one button control and imperative for system control from a remote location. Zone Status Provides Optimum User Feedback. The ZR-8630AV displays key system attributes. From any zone a user can immediately detect whether their zone is on/off or muted, as well as know what source is currently selected and if that source is use in a different zone.

System-Wide Control For Greater Convenience. From anywhere in the home, the ZR-8630AV enables the activation of all zones to a particular source component. Additionally, a global "All Off" command can initiate the entire system to shut down from any zone. When system-wide commands are issued all keypads in the system update to reflect the newly selected source and status.

Elegant and Intuitive Interfaces. One-touch keypad operation is provided by the attractive IntelliPad® Ci Select keypad. The keypads provide automated system activation and source selection, and can be custom labeled to match the system. For direct access and advanced transport capability, simply add the IntelliPad Ci Numeric™ and Transport accessory keypads to the Select IR keypad. Keypads are available in three designer colors — almond, bone and white (inserts included with keypad). Keypad connections utilize runs of CAT5 wiring and terminate with RJ-45 connectors. The R-8 remote control, included with the ZR-8630AV, provides complete system control using IntelliPad® Ci Select IR and Niles IR Sensors. Additional remotes are available so you can outfit any location with a dedicated "zone remote." Robust power, superior components and design deliver rich clear sound. A built-in 12 channel amplifier delivers a solid 30 watts per channel to each of the six listening zones for clear and dynamic stereo sound. Its robust design enables it to handle low-impedance loads.

Home Theater Integration. The ZR-8630AV features a home theater sync input and an IR command input that enables the ZR-4630 to know the power state of the home theater system. This allows shared components to be powered on and off in the appropriate manner.

Simplified programming and installation. All IR codes are programmed and stored in the ZR-8630AV. Unlike systems that require programming at all keypad locations, programming and editing occurs only at the receiver — dramatically reducing installation time. Programming is accomplished quickly and easily via a simple step-by-step process that is guided by LED prompts. The ZR-8630AV uses non-volatile memory for storing the programming to guard against accidental loss. Completed programming can be archived/imported using the included DB-9 connector and ZR Source Library and Archiving software. The twelve channels on the ZR-8630AV feature Niles' patented no-strip speaker wire terminals. This two-piece connector enables you to terminate speaker cable without having to strip the conductor. And because the terminal is keyed, you ’re guaranteed an in-phase connection every time.

Expandable for larger systems. Up to three ZR-8630AV units can be combined in a single system to provide up to 18 zones of listening pleasure. Source components connect to all receivers, splitting their audio signals by utilizing RCA Y-adapters or Niles AVDA-3 Audio/Video Distribution Amplifiers
