MR64 Keypad
Installation
Instructions
Congratulations and thank you for choosing this
Knoll product. The MR64 keypads are the power
behind an advanced music control system that
is easy-to-use with top quality sound available
in up to six or more rooms.
The MR64 is only for use with the MVP44a,
MVP64a and MR640 controller. MR64’s can be
used in combination with MR60 keypads in the
same system, but only one keypad per zone is
permitted. Please see the manuals shipped with
the MVP44a, MVP64a or MR600.
The MR64 is available with two LCD colors,
yellow-green with black lettering and blue with
white lettering (model MR64b). Both versions
are available with Decora™ style bezel plates in
white, almond, black or ivory colors.
The music system consists of:
1. Rooms with stereo speakers, a MR64 or
MR60 keypad or infrared receiver and a remote
control.
2. One or more MVP44a, MVP64a or MR640
controller(s).
3. One or more multi-zone amplifiers if the
MR640 is used.
4. Stereo source components such as tuners,
CD players, satellite dish receivers, cassette
decks, and other components.
While the MR64 evolved after years of research,
its use is straightforward and direct. Some
rooms may have more than one pair of
speakers but only one keypad or possibly even
no keypad.
The music system is controlled by the MR64
and MR60 keypads, RB8 or universal remote,
the source components and possibly a whole
home controller. The source components are
controlled by their individual remote controls by
aiming the remote control at the keypad or
infrared receiver and pressing the appropriate
remote control button.
MR64 keypad installation
Individual rooms can be controlled by a MR64,
MR60 and/or an RB8 remote control or a
universal remote control with the RB8
commands installed. MR60 and MR64 keypads
control the speakers for the room it is located
in or the whole house (all rooms). The RB8
remote can turn off the whole house but can
only turn on and adjust the room it is in.
Setting the dipswitch
Before installing any MR64 keypad, the
dipswitch on the rear of the keypad has to be
set. The dipswitch will have one of the three
switches set to on and the other two off. This
feature was added so that in non-new or
existing construction, three keypads for three
rooms can be connected to one cat 5 wire.
