Setting Source Gain / Connection Status
The Source Gain / Connection item allows you to change the source gain setting for each of the six
sources. These settings are system-wide and affect all zones.
To change the source gain for Source 1, turn the knob when "G1" is displayed. Turning the knob on the
VSC clockwise will increase the selected source’s gain and counterclockwise will decrease the selected
source’s gain. The source gain can range from 00-15.
By default, the gain is set to zero for all sources.
This item is also used to modify a source’s connection status. To remove a source from the source cycle
when selecting a source, you may set its status as disconnected. To disconnect the selected source, turn
the knob counterclockwise, past "00" until "FF" is displayed.
By default, all sources are connected.
Press the knob to advance to the Source Gain / Connection item for the next source.
After modifying the Gain / Connection setting for all six sources, pressing the knob once again will
advance to the Zone Group menu item, and the display will change to "Gr".
Zone Group
Zone grouping allows you to connect two or more zones to the same source, so that all zones in that
group always play the same source. When zones are placed in a group, you can change the source from
any VSC in that group. All other settings, such as volume, are specific to each zone and must be
performed independently at each VSC.
An example of a Zone Group may be a kitchen and family room that are openly connected. Both the
kitchen and the family room have a VSC to be able to select and control audio sources. However, it
would not be practical for each of these rooms to listen to different sources. Zone grouping allows both
of these zones to act as one larger zone.
Hi-Fi provides the capability of having only one Zone Group; however, there is no limit to the number
of zones that can be included in this zone group. That is, it is possible to include all eight zones in the
Zone Group.
To change the Zone Group setting, turn the knob when "Gr" is displayed. Turn the knob, clockwise or
counterclockwise, to switch between "On" and "FF". This setting must be performed at the VSC in each
zone that will be grouped.
After modifying the Zone Group setting, pressing the knob once again will advance to the IR menu item,
and the display will change to "Ir".
