If you exceed 10 seconds, simply press Z-ADJ again.  You can verify whether you are still in the Z-
ADJ  mode by pressing the MUTE ON button.  If the sound mutes, you are not in the Z-ADJ  mode.

4. While listening to the program material, set BASSTREBLE and BALANCE as desired.

You may instantly compare your bass & treble settings to electrical flat by pressing the “E-FLAT”
button.  Return to your last adjusted settings by pressing the “LAST” button. Make further adjustments
and repeat this procedure as often as necessary to arrive at a pleasing tonal balance for the zone.

5. Adjust VOLUME buttons for the maximum volume desired for the zone.

6. Press MAX-V button to save maximum volume.

7. Press the ADJ-OFF button to drop out of the Z-ADJ mode. 

 (Z-ADJ mode will drop out automatically

if you wait more than 10 seconds).

The Z-ADJ settings are now saved, completing the procedure.

Note:  In zones using only keypads, it will be necessary to temporarily connect a Xantech IR receiver
to make the zone adjustment settings.

8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each zone.

Note:  After the settings are saved, you can still compare your bass, treble and balance settings with
electrical flat by alternately pressing the “E-FLAT” and  “LAST” buttons.  When finished comparing,
be sure to press the “LAST” button so that the Z-ADJ settings are in effect for the user.

PLEASE NOTE:  In zones using only keypads, it will be necessary to temporarily connect a Xantech IR
receiver to
 perform TRIM and Z-ADJ setup procedures.

When the setup procedures are complete, the next step is to program the Xantech SmartPads and/or
learning remotes (such as Xantech's URC's), with the needed GATEKEEP-IR, ZPR68-10 and the source
component commands for system operation from any zone.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions assume a fully connected system similar to Fig. 6 and the completion of all setup
procedures.  It also assumes that the installer has "taught" all needed or desired IR commands from the
RC68+ Programmer and from the remotes of the source components into learning remote controls or key
pads.  These instructions may serve as a reference for the installer when preparing a customized instruction
set for the end user.

Zone Operations

1. Press an INPUT button for the desired source from any zone.

This turns the zone ON and applies power to the zone amplifiers and all source components.

2. Operate the source component with the appropriate IR commands (TUNER UP/DN, CD PLAY, etc.)

3. Adjust VOLUME buttons to desired level.

4. Adjust BASSTREBLE and BALANCE for personal preference. 

(If made available to the user).

Note:  You may return to the Z-ADJ values for BASS, TREBLE and BALANCE at any time by pressing
the “” button on each one (“N-FLAT” settings).

5. Press MUTE ON to mute the sound for that zone. 

(The video signal will continue to play).

6. To un-mute the sound, press MUTE OFF.  

(Mute can also be released by pressing a volume or any

input [source] button.)

7. Press OFF button to turn the zone OFF. 

(The video signal will continue to play).

Note:  When the zone is turned back on, the volume level last listened to will be restored.

Global Operations

1. Press GLOBAL from any zone location.

Note: All GLOBAL commands must be executed within 5 seconds of each other.  When 5 seconds
