mation on programming the CR16.

front panel operating functions return to Zone 1 after 10
seconds even if Zone 1 is not active. For information on
programming refer to page 22.
Dedicated zone source components
If a specific CR16 zone has a source component dedicated
exclusively to that zone, it can be operated in that zone
with a keypad or remote control. When a dedicated zone
source component is connected, it replaces the source com-
ponent that is connected to the CR16 Aux inputs. If the
CR16 is connected with a Control Center which has a
source component connected to its Aux inputs, that compo-
nent will not be available in the zone with the dedicated
source component.
Bass, Treble and Level Controls
Adjust the bass and treble controls for the desired tone
shaping in each zone. Adjust
the zone level controls to in-
crease or decrease a maximum
of 6dB from the center detent
position. Volume changes with
the level controls add or sub-
tract from the turn on levels.
