Date/Time: The Grand Concerto has an internal clock that allows each Control Pad to display the current time. Within this menu you can easily set Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Minute.

External Mute/Page: The EXT. MUTE input on the back panel of the Grand Concerto has a dual function. In normal mode, it is designed for the Mute Interface, NV-MI1 (see NV-MI1 Mute Interface Adaptor page, ). It can also be configured for use with a paging phone system to enable whole-house paging. This requires a phone system that provides an audio output for paging that is plugged into source input 6 on the Grand Concerto (note that this feature eliminates the use of Source 6 as an audio source for the system). To use the Page function, you must select Paging Mode. There are two types of voltage triggers associated with the Page function. If the phone system you are using sends a voltage to trigger paging, selecting Paging Mode sets the mute input to react and mute all zones. If it triggers by creating a closure (dropping down to 0 voltage), you need to select Active High (Open). Sources: This Allows unused source inputs to be turned off so they do not show up when you scroll through the sources at the Control Pads.

XIII. Using the Control Pad for Music Source Control

The Control Pad is a wonderful interface to all the Grand Concerto music sources. The MENU, Forward and Reverse, and Play/Pause buttons ultimately allow complete access to the sources within the system.

Source Main Menu

When the Control Pad is in basic play-back mode, it defaults to a large font suitable for reading from a distance. When the MENU button is pushed, a source-specific menu will appear.

An important feature of the Configurator Software is an additional Macro Definition window that allows multiple macros to be defined and automatically added to the source menu with the label Macros. This is an important function for sources such as satellite, cable, and multiple-disc changers as a direct access to channels and discs. Once added as a playback menu, these can be incorporated as one of the 12 direct access global favorites.
