CHRONIZATION WHAT IS SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION The ZR 8630AV has been designed to keep track of the ON OFF condition of the six source components connect ed to the system This allows automation of source components that use the same IR command for ON and OFF For this feature to function as designed you need synchronization sync between the ZR 8630AV and source components that use the same IR command for ON and OFF This assures the users of the system that the ZR 8630AV will always issue power commands correctly when they press a Master Key or the Off Key Source Components with Separate ON OFF IR Commands Synchronization is not required for source components that respond to separate ON and OFF IR commands When power commands are programmed as separate ON and OFF the ZR 8630AV will issue ON commands only if sync is not present Separate OFF commands for source components always are issued when the last zone turns OFF regardless of sync status Source Components with Latching Power Some source components such as CD players and tape decks usually plug into the switched AC outlet of the preamplifier receiver with which they are installed These components turn ON as soon as they have power on their AC cord which occurs when the system s receiver preamplifier turns ON In other words they latch into an ON or OFF state Because they don t need an IR command to turn ON or OFF they don t need indi vidual synchronization Sin
