Nuvo NV-I8GMS, NV-I8GXS manual Connecting the EZ Port to the Grand Concerto Amplifier fig

V.Connecting the EZ Port to the Grand Concerto Amplifier (fig. 4)

When the EZ Port is installed in the wall, the only part visible should be the faceplate and four RJ45 jacks. The supplied pre-terminated network cable can then be plugged into one of the six available jacks and into the Network connection on the back of the Grand Concerto Amplifier. Any Cat-5 cable terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice should you need a longer connection. Remember, it is important to terminate the cable the same way on both ends.

Amplifier (fig. 5)

Each piece of audio equipment is connected to the Grand Concerto amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach an RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the source equipment and to the desired source input on the back of the Grand Concerto amplifier. The numbered input for each source is important in the configuration of the system. This will be covered in detail in the Grand Concerto Configurator portion of this manual.

Attaching the NuVo T2 Tuners and M3 Server

A feature of the Grand Concerto System is its ability to automatically communicate with the T2 AM/FM and Satellite Tuners and the M3 Audio Server. The communication happens through the EZ Port connection hub, across a communication protocol called NuVoNet. Although software programming is not necessary for this function, configuring the installation through the Configurator Software prior to installation has distinct advantages, see X. Grand Concerto

Configurator Software.

When the T2 Tuners or M3 Server are plugged in for the first time, they will display a prompt to select a source input number for the Grand Concerto. For NuVoNet to communicate properly, you should have already connected the NuVoNet components to one of the six “Peripheral Device” inputs on the face of the EZ Port.

T2 Tuners

Each of the T2 Tuner components actually houses two individual AM/FM or Satellite receivers, which have their own display on the front panel. Once the T2 is plugged in and the NuVoNet CAT-5 is connected to the EZ Port and initial display, OPERATING MODE will appear for each tuner. Below this, the choices are STAND ALONE, SOURCE 6, SOURCE 5, SOURCE 4, SOURCE 3, SOURCE 2, and SOURCE 1. Stand Alone is automatically highlighted at initial startup. Selecting the appropriate Concerto source input is accomplished by turning the Select knob for each tuner counter-clockwise until the desired source input number is highlighted. It is selected by pushing the Select knob. Once this is done, the Grand Concerto NuVoNet will recognize that source.
