5.1 Edit Zone Properties (Fig. 25)

Double-clicking on a zone number opens the “Edit Zone Properties” window. Specific properties defining that zone are set here.

Max Volume: This allows the volume in a zone to be limited. This can be done either to avoid damage to low-power speakers or simply to prevent a certain room from being turned up too high (e.g., a teenager's bedroom).

Party Volume: This controls the reset volume level for each zone when the All On/Party Mode is initiated from any of the Control Pads. The range is –78dB to –30dB.

Page Volume: If you are using the paging feature of the Essentia System, you can also set the specific volume level of the page zone by zone, by using this volume control. The range is –78dB to –30dB, with a default at –40dB.

Balance: The level of output to the left and right speakers is adjusted here. The default is center, but depending on the location of the speakers and the optimal listening area of the room, it may be advantageous to adjust the balance to either the left or the right. Keep in mind that this setting can be made and adjusted from within the Zone Setup menu at the Control Pads.

Bass and Treble: Both bass and treble can be adjusted individually on a zone by zone basis. The EQ sweep is -18dB to +18dB. Keep in mind that these levels can also be set at the zone Setup menu at the Control Pads with music playing. This will be covered later in the Control Pad menus.

Volume Reset at Zone ON: A zone-specific feature is the ability to have a zone automatically reset to a low volume level when the zone is turned on. This check box initiates that feature and is tied to the Zone Reset Volume level set above it. If this box is not checked, the zone will turn on at the last volume level.

Loudness Compensation ON: This box defaults to checked and enables an automatic bass and treble boost when the zone is at a low listening level. This EQ gradually flattens out as the zone volume is increased. Deselecting the box turns this function off.

Exclusive Source Control: Checking this box gives this zone exclusive “do not disturb” control of any chosen source. Other zones will have the ability to listen to that source, but they will not have any specific function control.

IR Pass-through:Each zone Control Pad has an IR receiver for wireless remote control. By its nature, IR is susceptible to external interference. To account for this, there is specific IR pass-through settings for each Control Pad. IR Disabled turns off the IR receiver completely and eliminates any possibility of a competing light source. This is useful in an environment in which the Control Pad receiver is competing with overwhelming sunlight. This will prevent IR communication throughout the system and therefore, it is better to eliminate that light source. IR No Pass-throughprevents third-party remote control commands from being accepted, but still allows the NuVo NV-GRC1 remote control to operate the system. In some zones this is necessary when a third-party remote is often used to control a non–NuVo System source such as a TV. This would eliminate that remote control's commands from being received by the Control Pad and passed through to the source equipment.
