OVERVIEW
The ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver’s paging input provides an audio connection for voice paging and/or doorbell sounds to be played through the
system loudspeakers.
SYSTEM PAGING
The paging input senses the audio input level. When a signal appears, the volume level of the currently playing source device ramps down.
The paging audio signal then plays through the zone loudspeakers at a preset level. Zones can be enabled and disabled for paging in the
configuration menu. By default, all zones are enabled for paging. A page will respond within one second. When the paging signal is removed
for at least five seconds, the zone is switched back to the previous source device or, if the zone was previously off, it will turn off again.
DOORBELL PAGING
The optional Niles DBI-1 Doorbell Interface (FG01034) provides a selection of realistic doorbell chimes and includes connection for the
output from a telephone or intercom system. For more information, see the DBI-1 Installation & Operation Guide available for download at
www.nilesaudio.com.
