All On/Party Mode
The Essentia System has an All On feature. Any keypad within the
system, which can be up to twelve zones, has the ability to
become a master control for the entire house. The master keypad
will control zone on, volume level, and source selection for all
other zones.
To place a keypad in Master Mode function, simply press the
Mute and Source 4 buttons simultaneously. This will cause the
volume indicator LED for that zones keypad to flash
continuously and adjust to a preset volume level (-60 dB). All
other zones will then turn on to the same relative volume level
and increase or decrease with the volume adjustment on the
master keypad, fig. 12. Each keypad volume LED indicates a
preset meter level threshold, fig. 13.
Any of the other zone keypads have the ability to override the
master function by selecting a new source, changing a local
zones volume control, or by turning a local zones keypad off and
back on.
The master mode is turned off by repeating the sequence of
pressing the Mute and Source 4 buttons.

Each zone has the capability of turning on at two different
volume level settings. At factory default the zone will turn on at
the previous listening level. If desired, you can change that
default to a low level volume reset regardless of the previous
level.
To change the zone to volume reset mode, press the Mute and
Source 5 buttons simultaneously. The Source 5 button will begin
flashing. The volume LED will first appear at the far left
indicating no volume reset. Pushing the Volume Up button will
cause the volume LED to move to the far right position. This now
indicates that the zone is in volume reset mode, fig. 14.
To return to normal keypad operation, press the Source 5 button
again and it will stop flashing. In the volume reset mode the zone
will automatically turn on at a preset -60 dB level. The volume
reset can be turned off by repeating the above steps and
returning the volume LED to the far left position.
