Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the NuVo Essentia audio distribution system. Essentia offers the newest in digital audio technology in an attractive, easy-to-install, and simple-to-use package. Generation D digital amplifi- cation means that Essentia is able to create clear, precise sound without producing a large amount of heat.
Because digital amplification is far more efficient, Essentia draws only one third of the power of conventional analogue amplifiers.
The Essentia system is designed for the homeowner. Its attractive backlit keypads are elegant, easy-to-operate, and able to be customized for any installation. Included with each keypad are white, ivory, and almond cover plates to best match your home’s décor. Also included with each keypad are twenty preprinted audio source but- tons for customizing your system for your use.
Using the Essentia is as easy as the push of a button. Each listening zone can be turned on or off independently, or all zones can be turned off simultaneously by using the "ALL OFF" button at any one of the keypads. Individual volume control for each zone is also as easy as the push of a button.
The built-in IR receiver allows for direct access to all of your audio source equipment by utilizing the individual audio component’s hand-held remote, or you can also enjoy the convenience of having all of the commands of your audio source equipment in one universal learning remote. The RC2 remote control shipped with the Essentia package is the perfect tool for teaching learning remotes functions of the Essentia keypads. This puts complete control of your NuVo system in the palm of your hand.
The following pages of this manual provide step-by-step instructions for installing your Essentia System. Reading and understanding this installation guide will insure a proper installation and years of audio enjoy- ment.
