www.polkaudio.com 25
The Multi Room feature allows you to listen to an audio source that is
connected to the Digital Solution system in another room of the house.
For example, you can watch a movie in the living room while your
children listen to the CD player in the family room. In order to use this
feature, you will need a pair of powered speakers (such as the Polk
Atrium 45p) or another pair of speakers with an integrated amplifier
and two RCA type interconnect cables long enough to reach from room
to room. Connect the system as shown in the illustration below. Follow
the steps below to use the multi-room feature.
Operating from the remote control:
1. Turn on the TV that is connected to the video output of the Digital
Solution Preamp/processor
2. Push the MULTI ROOM button on the remote control. The menu
shown below will appear on your TV screen.
3. Push the right arrow on the remote control to select MULTI ROOM:ON
4. Use the down arrow to go to SOURCE: , then toggle through the
source choices by pushing the left or right g h arrows
5. Move the cursor down to volume and use the up and down
arrows
▲ ▼ to select a volume level.
6. Move the cursor down to the EXIT line. Press the Enter button on the
remote control to save and exit this menu. The Preamp/processor will
now go back to normal operation.
USING MULTI-ROOM FEATURE
Operating from the Front Panel
1. Push the MULTI-ROOM button on the front panel of the preamp/processor
2. The red indicator will blink and the words “SEL SOURCE” will
appear on the display.
3. Push either the
▲ or ▼ SOURCE button to select the source you would
like to play in the remote room.
4. A few seconds after you select the source, the words “MULTI VOL” will
appear in the display window. The red
indicator continues to blink.
5. Turn the volume control to -15dB
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For the sake of convenience, the remote room amplifier should
have a volume control of its own. The goal of setting the volume on
the Multi-Room menu is to supply the remote amp with enough
gain (volume) to make the signal audible, but not so much to
overload the input. Set the volume control of the remote
integrated amplifier to about the 10:00 o’clock position. Raise the
DIGITAL SOLUTION Multi Room volume until the sound in the
remote room is moderately loud (in the range of -20dB to -5dB).
That should give you a comfortable range of volume control on the
remote amp.
6. Wait about another 10 seconds, the light will stop flashing
and the DIGITAL SOLUTION will return to normal operation.
7. When you push the MULTI ROOM button again, the Multi Room
function turns off and stops sending sound to the remote room.
8. Any time you want sound in the remote room, just push the MULTI-
ROOM button and the unit will recall the source and volume level that
you selected the last time you used the multi-room function.
9. If you want to change the multi-room source or volume level, just
repeat steps 2 through 6 or use the remote control as described above.
