Main Mode and Local Mode
When a Classik Movie System is linked into a CONNECT system as a receiver, it has two main modes of operation:
Main Mode - In this mode the receiver has control over the audio sources on the driver unit.
Local Mode - In this mode the receiver functions as a
Switching between Main Mode and Local Mode
To toggle between Main Mode and Local Mode on a receiver unit:
●Press MAIN / LOCAL on the front panel.
The front panel displays MAIN if the unit is in Main Mode, or displays nothing if the unit is in Local Mode.
NOTES:
When in Main Mode a receiver’s own sources are unavailable. This means that you cannot listen to a CD on a receiver without first switching to Local Mode.
The driver unit cannot select a receiver as a source. This means you cannot use the driver unit to listen to a CD that is playing on a receiver.
The audio signal fed from the driver to the receivers is a standard stereo signal. Surround sound modes (Pro Logic, DTS etc) are unavailable on a receiver in Main Mode.
As the driver unit always operates in Main Mode, pressing MAIN / LOCAL on the driver’s front panel will not switch the unit to Local Mode. MAIN is not displayed on the driver’s front panel.
Controlling the driver unit from a receiver unit
When in Main Mode, a receiver can choose any audio source available on the driver unit (CD/tuner/DVD audio signal/aux. audio source) and is able to control playback of the source: you can skip through tracks on a CD, scan through the tuner’s presets etc. Almost all of the functions of the Classik Movie System are available to you.
Only one source on the driver unit is available at any one time. This means that you cannot listen to one of the driver’s tuner presets from a receiver while someone else is listening to a CD playing on the driver.
The front panel of a receiver will display the same information as the driver’s front panel. Any other receivers in the system that are in Main Mode will also display the information shown on the driver’s front panel.
NOTE:
A receiver unit cannot:
●control the volume of the driver unit
●mute and unmute the driver unit
●put the driver unit into standby mode.
Party Mode
'adjust'
When your driver unit is in Party Mode it has limited control over the receivers. This is useful when holding a party as the same source signal (a CD, radio station etc) is fed to all the receivers.
Party Mode can only be turned on or off from the driver, however each receiver can elect to leave or join the party.
