USING MULTI-ROOM FEATURE

The Multi-Room feature allows you to listen to an audio source connected to the DS-2 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 Polk AMR-5), or another pair of speakers and integrated amplifier, and two RCA type interconnect cables long enough to reach from room to room. Connect the system as shown in Fig. 7. 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 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 gh arrows.

5.Move the cursor down to VOLUME and use the up and down arrows ▲ ▼ to select a volume level.

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 DS-2 Multi- Room volume until the sound in the remote room is moderately loud. That should give you a comfortable range of volume control on the remote amp.

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.

Operating from the Front Panel

1.Push the MULTI-ROOM button on the front panel of the preamp/processor.

2.The red MULTI indicator will blink and the words “SEL SOURCE” will appear on the display.

3.Push the 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 MULTI 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 DS-2 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 MULTI light will stop flashing and the DS-2 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.
