Setup: The Setup menu is for specific system setup. It consists of several subset menus. These are defined in the next section.

Favorites #1-12:Twelve global favorites can be defined for easy access from within the Main Menu. Any favorites, which include M3 and iPod play lists, tuner presets and specific disc selections can be selected in the Favorites setup and automatically added to the global list. The Grand Concerto Remote Control has a 12-button numeric keypad that provides direct access to the 12 assigned favorites. When a favorite is selected, the zone will automatically go to the appropriate source and music selection.

Zone Settings: This is the first menu option under Setup, fig.

12.

Balance: This controls the level of audio going to the left and right speakers. In some cases, when the listening area is not absolutely centered between the speakers, it is useful to adjust the center listening point left or right. This menu option gives the ability to adjust the sound left or right up to 18 steps in either direction.

Bass: This adjusts the frequency level from 100Hz and below. The default is flat, and the range is –18dB to +18dB.

Treble: This adjustment works within the same parameters as the bass and adjusts the frequency level from 10kHz and up.

Loudness Compensation: Loudness can be simply turned on or off by pressing the OK button. Volume Settings: There are several default settings available in this menu. Volume Reset is turned on or off by pressing the OK button and controls whether the zone turns on at its previous volume level, or to a preset level, fig. 16. If checked, the volume at zone on reverts to the level set in the next menu item, Initial Volume. Choosing to set at the current listening level, or selecting the default –60 dB level, controls this level. Maximum Volume is an overall zone volume limit and is set in the same manner as Initial Volume. Page Volume controls the level at which a page is amplified in each zone, and Party Volume sets the initial volume level when the party or all-on function is initiated.

Display Settings: The brightness of the Control Pad display can be controlled in this menu. Brightness sets the overall level of the display. AutoDim sets the Control Pad to dim or go completely dark after a set period of time. The range is 15 seconds to 1 hour. Dim Brightness works with the AutoDim feature and sets the level of dimness.

Advanced Zone Settings: These are parameters for each zone. They can be easily established in the Configurator software, or here at each of the zone Control Pads, fig 13.

Source Lockout: Any source selected in this menu will be locked from access within that zone.

Exclusive Src. Ctl.: This sets a default that automatically grabs control of any source chosen within this zone. Other zones will be able to listen, but they will have no specific source control.

Group: Source Group is a great NuVo feature for large, open-floor living spaces. In this menu option, any zone can be set to share source a group of zones to prevent the likelihood of having more than one source playing in the same open space. The advantage to Source Group is that each zone area maintains individual on/off and volume capability.

Default DND: This prevents the global functions of all- on or party and whole-house page from a Control Pad's specific zone.
