XI. Control Pad Setup

Factory-new Installation

The system should be programmed with the Configurator prior to setting up the Display Pads for the first time. The Grand Concerto amplifier should be placed in its permanent location, plugged in, and turned on. When a Display Pad is plugged in for the first time, the following sequence will occur:

1.When first plugged in, Grand Concerto V. X.XX where X refers to the current firmware version number loaded in the Grand Concerto main amplifier unit. The Control Pad will then go to the Zone Selection menu.

2.Press the Power Button to turn the Control Pad on. The display will flash the Grand Concerto and Version number screen and immediately go to Zone Selection. If you have loaded a configuration into the main unit, once in Zone Selection mode all the configured zone names will appear starting with the first. If you are setting the system directly out of the box, it will simply list generic Zone 1, Zone 2, etc., up to Zone 20. Setting the appropriate zone address is simply done by using the arrow buttons to scroll up or down to the appropriate zone and pressing the OK button.

3.The Control Pad will flash the version-number screen one more time and immediately turn off. When powered on, the addressed Control Pad will then go to the first established source.

At this point, the zone may be operated by the parameters set in the configuration. Zone settings may be modified using the MENU key.

Reprogramming the Zone Address

This procedure allows an addressed Control Pad to be moved to a new location. Within the main menu of each zone, go to Setup. Within the Setup options, scroll to Advanced Settings and to Zone Number. All the used addresses will be grayed out. Any available addresses will be accessible. Scrolling to None will erase the current address.

XII. Using the Control Pad's MENU Button

Menu gives access to specific music selection and control for each source, as well as zone- and system-setting capability. When the MENU button is pushed, the display goes to an eight-line screen labeled Main Menu.

MAIN MENU — At initial startup three menu items will appear. They are Favorites, Sources, and Setup, fig. 10.
