Display Time While Zone Off:
Each zone Control Pad has an IR receiver
for wireless remote control. By its nature, IR is susceptible
to external interference. To account for this, there is specific
IR pass-through settings for each Control Pad.
turns off the IR receiver completely and eliminates any
possibility of a competing light source. This is useful in an
environment in which the Control Pad receiver is competing
with overwhelming sunlight. This will prevent IR
communication throughout the system and therefore, it is
better to eliminate that light source.
prevents third-party remote control commands from being
accepted, but still allows the NuVo NV-GRC1 remote control
to operate the system. In some zones this is necessary when
a third-party remote is often used to control a non–NuVo
System source such as a TV. This would eliminate that remote
control's commands from being received by the Control Pad
and passed through to the source equipment.
This allows for one zone to automatically
listen to the same source as all other zones in the group. This
is a very useful feature for a large open area where it is not
practical for more than one source to be playing at one time.
The advantage of the zone group is that each Control Pad
within the group has the ability to turn on or off, mute, and
control volume independently. This drop-down menu allows
any zone to be assigned to a group, or as an individual zone
with no group affiliation. Up to four distinct groups can be
created.
This check box turns on a function that
automatically prevents any functionality from the zone until
the assigned security code is entered. Primarily, the
function prevents an outside zone from being turned on
except when the homeowner really wants to listen to it.
Checking this box causes the
Control Pad to automatically display the current time when
the zone is turned off. In normal operation the time is always
displayed in the upper right corner. The time is automatically
set according to the computer when the configuration is
downloaded to the Grand concerto.
Bass and Treble:
Volume Reset at Zone ON:
Loudness Compensation ON:
Exclusive Source Control:
Both bass and treble can be adjusted
individually on a zone by zone basis. The EQ sweep is -18dB
to +18dB. Keep in mind that these levels can also be set at
the zone Control Pads with music playing. This will be
covered later in the Control Pad menus.
A zone-specific feature is the
ability to have a zone automatically reset to a low volume
level when the zone is turned on. This check box initiates
that feature and is tied to the Zone Reset Volume level set
above it. If this box is not checked, the zone will turn on at
the last volume level.
This box defaults to checked and
enables an automatic bass and treble boost when the zone is
at a low listening level. This EQ gradually flattens out as the
zone volume is increased. Unchecking the box turns this
function off.
Checking this box gives this zone
exclusive “do not disturb” control of any chosen source.
Other zones will have the ability to listen to that source, but
they will not have any specific function control.
Max Volume:
Party Volume:
Page Volume:
Balance:
This allows the volume in a zone to be limited.
This can be done either to avoid damage to low-power
speakers or simply to prevent a certain room from being
turned up too high (e.g., a teenager's bedroom).
This controls the reset volume level for each
zone when the All On/Party Mode is initiated from any of the
Control Pads. The range is –78dB to –30dB.
If you are using the paging feature of the
Grand Concerto System, you can also set the specific volume
level of the page zone by zone, by using this volume control.
The range is –78dB to –30dB, with a default at –40dB.
The level of output to the left and right speakers is
adjusted here. The default is center, but depending on the
location of the speakers and the optimal listening area of
the room, it may be advantageous to adjust the balance to
either the left or the right.
