elapse, GLOBAL is cancelled and the system reverts to Zone operation. If you run out of time, simply
press GLOBAL again.
2. Press desired INPUT button (source).
This turns all zones ON together and applies power to all zone amplifiers and to all source components.
The selected source will now play in all zones at the volume level last listened to in each zone.
3. Operate the source component with the appropriate IR commands (TUNER UP/DN, CD PLAY, etc.)
4. Adjust VOLUME buttons to desired level.
Note: If MUTE ON has been previously activated in any zone, it will not be overridden by the GLOBAL
command. This prevents zone occupants from being disturbed by Global commands, when desired.
5. Adjust BASS and TREBLE for personal preference.
(If these are made available to the user).
Note: You may return to the Z-ADJ values for BASS and TREBLE at any time by pressing the “–”
buttons (“N-FLAT” settings).
6. To mute all zones simultaneously, press GLOBAL, then MUTE ON.
(Mute can also be released by pressing a volume or any input [source] button.}
7. To un-mute all zones simultaneously, press GLOBAL, then MUTE OFF.
8. To turn all zones OFF simultaneously, press GLOBAL, then OFF.
(The video signal will continue to play).
REMEMBER, the zone command mode lasts only 5 seconds after the last key is pressed. Anytime you want
to make a subsequent global adjustment, such as volume (as when in a whole house party mode), you must
always press GLOBAL first.
AC Power Interruptions
If an AC power line failure occurs, proceed as follows after power is restored:
1. Press an INPUT (source) button to turn any zone ON.
2. Adjust VOLUME and other functions as outlined under Zone Operatiaons.
Note 1: On older versions of the ZPR68-10, the initial volume at turn-on will be a low, factory set,
default level. It will NOT return to the volume level last listened to. All other adjustments will remain
as previously set.
Note 2: Latest versions of the ZPR68-10 (beginning with serial #11183) WILL return automatically
to the ON condition after a power interruption and will play at the volume level last listened to.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you encounter problems with the setup or operation of the ZPR68-10, review each of the following items
and take corrective action as described. If problems persist, contact Xantech Technical Support.
1. I have connected sources, zone amplifiers, IR receivers or keypads and the power supply. The
POWER LED comes on but the ZPR68-10 does not respond to any IR commands from the
RC68+ Handheld Programmer.
a) The most frequent reason for this problem is that the RC68+ is not set to the correct IR Code Group.
It must be set to 68 to work with the ZPR68-10 (unless you have intentionally changed the ZPR68-
10 to a different Code Group number). Refer to the INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS that come with
the RC68+ for Code Group Setting Procedures.
b) IR noise may be entering one or more of the IR receivers in the zones. This would interfere with
the proper recognition of the IR codes. Take steps to remove the IR noise or use Xantech IR
Receivers with high noise immunity (the CFL types).
