EQ Control and Source Grouping
To change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1
button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using
the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. The volume indicator
LEDs will indicate the output level, fig. 8. Adjust treble response
using the same process. This is accessed by pressing the Mute
and Source 2 buttons. Once the desired setting is made, press
the Source button again to return the keypad to normal
operation.
Source grouping is a feature that allows multiple zones in an
open living space to always share the same source selection but
still retain individual volume and on/off control. This is achieved
by pressing Mute and Source 3. Volume Up enables the group
function, and Volume Down disables the group function and
causes the keypad to operate independently of all other groups,
fig. 10.
