Source Grouping: This allows for one zone to automatically listen to the same source as all other zones in the group. This is a very useful feature for a large open area where it is not practical for more than one source to be playing at one time. The advantage of the zone group is that each Control Pad within the group has the ability to turn on or off, mute, and control volume independently. This drop-down menu allows any zone to be assigned to a group, or as an individual zone with no group affiliation. Up to four distinct groups can be created.

Lock Zone By Default: This check box turns on a function that automatically prevents any functionality from the zone until the assigned security code is entered. Primarily, the function prevents an outside zone from being turned on except when the homeowner really wants to listen to it.

Display Time While Zone Off: Checking this box causes the Control Pad to automatically display the current time when the zone is turned off. In normal operation the time is always displayed in the upper right corner. The time is automatically set according to the computer when the configuration is downloaded to the Essentia.

Do-Not-Disturb:This Section is used to lock out system- wide commands from a specific zone.

No Mute: The Essentia System has a small accessory called the Mi1 which is designed to mute all zones when the phone or doorbell rings. This is defeated on a zone by zone basis by checking the No Mute box. Installation of the Mi1 is covered in the Accessory section of this manual. No Page: The Essentia System is capable of paging through audio source input 6. This involves a phone system that has a paging audio output and a means to provide a voltage trigger. This is controlled using the Security tab to set the voltage trigger and utilizing the Mute Input, see Mute Input page, 31. This will be covered in the next tab.

No Party: Master and Party refer to the ability to turn all zones on simultaneously. In some zones you may not want this function.

Enabled Zone Sources: These allow individual sources to be turned off for specific zones. A source that is turned off will not display in that zone. This is particularly useful in preventing child access to a source dedicated to adult listening.

Display Settings: The overall brightness and AutoDim feature for each Control Pad are set using these drop-down menus. The first menu is the display brightness. The choices are Dimmest, Dim, Not So Bright, Normal, Bright, Brighter, Brightest. The second menu sets the duration for the AutoDim feature. These range from AutoDim Disabled, 15 Sec up to 1 Hour. The next menu sets a specific AutoDim level. AutoDim Brightness Off removes all display and backlighting. Using AutoDim Brightness Low, AutoDim Brightness Medium, or AutomDim Brightness High reduces the level of brightness, but does not make the Control Pad completely dark.

Slave To: This drop-down menu is used to assign additional “slave” Control Pads to a zone. Up to 14 Control Pads can be used in an installation. The EZ Port hub is equipped with 14 RJ45 ports to accommodate all the system's Control Pads.

This is a useful feature for large rooms where more than one Control Pad is desired. If slave Control Pads are used, we suggest that you disable the IR pass-through on those to prevent cross-communication. The Slave To function can also be used to tie two or more zones together under the control of a single Control Pad.
