possible in the sequence to give the components settling time. For example, sequence a power-on command: CD on, tuner on, and CD play rather than CD on, CD play, and tuner ON.

7.Make sure the PROGRAM lamp is on.

8.Make sure the bank 1 switch is on and bank 2, 3 and 4 are off.

9.Push the SEQ (sequence) button.

10.Carefully touch (for one sec.) the wire to the bank 1 + terminal

1to 6 where the first sequence is to be stored.

11.Move the bank 1 switch off and the bank 2 switch on.

12.Touch the wire to the terminal where the first IR signal of the sequence is stored (for one second). Touch the wire to the terminal where the second IR signal of the sequence is stored (for one second). Touch any other terminals until the entire command sequence is stored.

13.Push the SEQ button and then the PGM button to leave the program mode (lamp goes out).

14.Move the bank 1 switch to on and bank 2, 3, and 4 to off. The sequence is now complete.

15.Repeat steps 7 to 14 for each of the other sequences.

Note: 590-00 programming should be fully tested. Occasionally one source component gets out of sequence especially if IR remote controls are used (most often when using the remote to turn on and off source components). The system user should be shown how to correct for a source component getting out of sequence.

Caution: The MVP44a contains no user serviceable parts, so do not attempt to open or repair the MVP44a. Refer servicing to a qualified technician only or contact the factory for information.

System layout considerations

The MVP44a is the heart of a whole home music system. A MVP44a is designed to work with 1-4 rooms or zones. Up to three MVP44a's can be ganged together to allow up to 12 rooms or zones each individuallycontrollingoneortwopairsofenclosureorinwall speakers. Connection is achieved via the data port using a stereo 3.5mm jack on the rear of the MVP44a.

Rooms are usually controlled by a MR60 keypad. The keypads are not intented for outdoor use. The MR60 contains an almost all brand infrared repeater and most functions can be controlled by the Knoll RB8 remote control. RB8 commands can easily be stored in a learningremote.TheMR60isavailablewiththreedifferentsource layouts (all of the MR60 keypads in one system have to have the same source layout) and three bezel colors white, almond and ivory for a total of 9 models. The source layout and bezel colors are easy to changeinthefield.

Some rooms will not require a MR60 keypad and most MVP44a functions can be utilized with an RB8 remote and an infrared repeater (a MR173 IR converter is required). Up to three IR receivers in three different rooms can be connected to a single MR173. The MVP44a includes an internal four single or dual emitter connection block, so emitters will have to be ordered if required. The infraredpassthroughisalwaysavailablewhentheamplifieristurned on and in standby or powered up.

Follow directions from the speaker manufacturers when deciding speaker locations.

Note: The MVP44a prefers 6-8 ohm speaker loads. Connecting to 4 ohm loads won't hurt the MVP44a but those channels connected to 4 ohm loads may occasionally shut down due to overloading.

Never connect the MVP44a to 2 ohm loads.

The MVP44a has a cooling fan to increase long term power output and reliability.
