Nuvo NV-I8GMS, NV-I8GXS manual M3 Server, VIII. Source Status Inputs fig

M3 Server

At initial startup, the front panel display will prompt with

OUTPUT 1: PRESS OK TO SELECT NUVONET SOURCE. When OK is

selected, the top line of the display will read OPERATING MODE OUT 1. Below this the three available lines will display STANDALONE, SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2 . . . as you scroll using the down arrow button, SOURCE 3, SOURCE 4, SOURCE 5, and SOURCE 6 will appear. Highlight the appropriate choice and press OK to select. This will set the first channel music output. You will then be prompted to repeat for these steps for the remaining two channels.

IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the Grand Concerto amplifier to the source equipment using the mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with your Grand Concerto System. The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output on the Grand Concerto and then placed over the IR receiver window on the source component. The IR outputs are individually routed to sources 1-6.

The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from any of the zones. This is most commonly used with an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of components.

VIII. Source Status Inputs (fig. 7)

The source status inputs can be very useful for monitoring the power status of your audio sources. Some equipment uses “toggling commands” for powering on and off (that is, the commands for on and off are not separate, discrete commands). This situation is typically confusing when using a single button to initiate to a piece of source equipment a string of commands that includes power on. With “toggling” equipment, if the unit is already on, moving the button will inadvertently turn it off. The source status inputs give the Grand Concerto System the ability to sense that the source equipment is on so it can automatically bypass that command.

Current sensor attaches to the AC power cord of the source equipment.

Using these inputs requires an AC power-sensing module. These are readily available from electronic accessory manufacturers and typically attach to the AC power cord of the desired source equipment. The connection at the back of the Grand Concerto is a mono 1/8” jack. Once this is in place, the Grand Concerto System will sense the amount of AC current being drawn by the source equipment.
