EQ Control and Source Grouping

To change bass response, press the Mute button and Source 1 button simultaneously. Adjust the bass level up or down by using the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. The volume indicator LEDs will indicate the output level, fig. 8. Adjust treble response using the same process. This is accessed by pressing the Mute and Source 2 buttons. Once the desired setting is made, press the Source button again to return the keypad to normal operation.

Source grouping is a feature that allows multiple zones in an open living space to always share the same source selection but still retain individual volume and on/off control. This is achieved by pressing Mute and Source 3. Volume Up enables the group function, and Volume Down disables the group function and causes the keypad to operate independently of all other groups, fig. 10.
