DYNAMIC MONITOR LOCKOUT (PARENTAL CONTROL)
(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)
To ‘prevent’ the audio/video output of a source from being viewed in any of the other zones, DYNAMIC
MONITOR LOCKOUT should be engaged from the Zone that WILL be accessing the source. This is ideal to
prevent a source component with inappropriate content from being viewed by a minor or other audience.
1. Simultaneously press “STATUS and the “SOURCE” button to be locked. The ‘Monitor Locked’
message will appear. The audio/video will only be available in that zone. Message will remain until
the source is unlocked.
2. To Un-Lock, simultaneously press “STATUS and the “SOURCE” button to be unlocked. The
‘Monitor Unlocked’ message will appear. The audio/video will be available to all zones. Message
will remain until the source is selected again or another source is selected.
DYNAMIC ZONE LINK
(ADVANCED)
To temporarily tie multiple zones together to the current zone:
1. Simultaneously press “STATUS and the “CH+” button. The ‘Link Session’ message will appear
displaying current Zone Link status/choices for zones 1 thru 4. To access Zones 5 thru 8 simply
press the STATUS button a second time. To return to Zones 1 thru 4 press STATUS again to
toggle between the screens.
2. Press the button for the zone to be linked. (Z1, Z2, etc) The keypad status LEDs will show ‘busy’
(rapid amber flash) for 10 seconds after the last button press, then ‘time out’ and return to normal
use mode (LED /green, LCD/normal display). A small ‘L’ will appear in the upper right corner of the
LCD in the linked zones. The zones will be linked for power and source selection only. Volume,
Mute and individual IR buttons will not be linked.
To Unlink Zones:
1. Simultaneously press “STATUS and the “CH+” button. The ‘Link Session’ message will appear.
