OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
Multiple Rooms in a Zone Using an Expander and Silencers
Individual-Room Operation - Multiple rooms within a zone using silencers require two short taps of the
OFF Key to turn OFF that zone individually.
A press of the OFF Key for less than three seconds in a room that is currently ON (selected Master Key illu-
minated GREEN) causes that room to MUTE (selected Master Key now illuminates RED).
A press of the OFF Key for less than three seconds in a room that is ON and MUTED (selected Master Key
illuminated RED), causes the entire zone to turn OFF (all Master Key LEDs turn OFF). OFF Key Events 1 and
2 occur when the zone turns OFF. Additionally, Events 3 and 4 occur if the zone is the last zone in the sys-
tem turning OFF and the Home Theater that shares sources is also OFF.
System-Wide Operation - A press and hold of the OFF Key always turns all zones off (Master Key LEDs turn
OFF). Event 1 occurs in the zone issuing the All OFF command and Event 2 occurs for all other zones,
sequentially. Additionally, Events 3 and 4 occur if the Home Theater that shares sources is also OFF.
VOLUME KEYS/VOLUME BUTTONS
The volume keys on the Solo
™ and Select ™ Master Keypad Module and the volume buttons on the R-4 Remote
provide control of volume for individual zones.
VOLUME KEYS/VOLUME BUTTONS OPERATION
Pressing the Volume + or the Volume – Keys/Buttons raises and lowers the preamplifier output for the zone in
which you are located.
Important Note: Zones with multiple rooms including Silencer Muting Volume Controls have the Volume Keys
on the Master Keypad replaced with the included Surf+/Surf– Function Keys/Buttons (refer to the Silencer
Operation and Installation Guide for more details). IR commands programmed into the Surf+/Surf– Function
Keys/Buttons are issued from these keys when using a Master Keypad installed with a Silencer (see page 56 for
details on programming Function Keys).
