Source Grouping: This allows for one zone to automatically
listen to the same source as all other zones in the group. This
is a very useful feature for a large open area where it is not
practical for more than one source to be playing at one time.
The advantage of the zone group is that each Control Pad
within the group has the ability to turn on or off, mute, and
control volume independently. This drop-down menu allows
any zone to be assigned to a group, or as an individual zone
with no group affiliation. Up to four distinct groups can be
created.
Lock Zone By Default: This check box turns on a function that
automatically prevents any functionality from the zone until
the assigned security code is entered. Primarily, the
function prevents an outside zone from being turned on
except when the homeowner really wants to listen to it.
Display Time While Zone Off: Checking this box causes the
Control Pad to automatically display the current time when
the zone is turned off. In normal operation the time is always
displayed in the upper right corner. The time is automatically
set according to the computer when the configuration is
downloaded to the Grand concerto.
Do-Not-Disturb: This Section is used to lock out system-
wide commands from a specific zone.
No Mute: The Grand Concerto System has a small
accessory called the Mi1, Mute Interrupt which is
designed to mute all zones when the phone or doorbell
rings. This is defeated on a zone by zone basis by
checking the No Mute box.
No Page: The Grand Concerto System is capable of paging
through audio source input 6. This involves a phone
system that has a paging audio output and a means to
provide a voltage trigger. This is controlled using the
System Settings tab to set the voltage trigger and
utilizing the Mute Interrupt, see Mute Interface page, 31.
Setting the system s Mute input for paging or the Mi1
mute function is covered in the next tab.
No Party: Master and Party Mode refer to the ability to
turn all zones on simultaneously. In some zones you may
not want this function.
Bass and Treble: Both bass and treble can be adjusted
individually on a zone by zone basis. The EQ sweep is -18dB
to +18dB. Keep in mind that these levels can also be set at
the zone Control Pads with music playing. This will be
covered later in the Control Pad menus.
Volume Reset at Zone ON: A zone-specific feature is the
ability to have a zone automatically reset to a low volume
level when the zone is turned on. This check box initiates
that feature and is tied to the Zone Reset Volume level set
above it. If this box is not checked, the zone will turn on at
the last volume level.
Loudness Compensation ON: This box defaults to checked and
enables an automatic bass and treble boost when the zone is
at a low listening level. This EQ gradually flattens out as the
zone volume is increased. Unchecking the box turns this
function off.
Exclusive Source Control: Checking this box gives this zone
exclusive do not disturb control of any chosen source.
Other zones will have the ability to listen to that source, but
they will not have any specific function control.
IR Pass-through: Each zone Control Pad has an IR receiver
for wireless remote control. By its nature, IR is susceptible
to external interference. To account for this, there is specific
IR pass-through settings for each Control Pad. IR Disabled
turns off the IR receiver completely and eliminates any
possibility of a competing light source. This is useful in an
environment in which the Control Pad receiver is competing
with overwhelming sunlight. This will prevent IR
communication throughout the system and therefore, it is
better to eliminate that light source. IR No Pass-through
prevents third-party remote control commands from being
accepted, but still allows the NuVo NV-GRC1 remote control
to operate the system. In some zones this is necessary when
a third-party remote is often used to control a non NuVo
System source such as a TV. This would eliminate that remote
control’s commands from being received by the Control Pad
and passed through to the source equipment.
