Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Sonance C4630 SE Home Audio System. The C4630 SE lets you listen to any of four different audio sources in up to six different rooms (zones) at the same time. When programmed with the included Sonance Control Manager program- ming software and used with available Sonance keypad controllers and the available IR remote control, the C4630 SE gives you easy, logical control of both the system’s audio sources and the sound in each room. The Control Manager software even lets you program the C4630

SE with macros that allow complex functions (like turning the system ON, selecting a source, setting the volume and other audio parameters and starting the music in a specific room) to be accomplished with a single button push. There is also a “PARTY MODE” that gives you control of the whole house from a single location, and a Paging function for communication between rooms. For more sophisticated systems, the C4630 SE has an RS-232 communications port that can integrate it with whole-home control systems that control such things as lights, temperature and security systems.

The C4630 SE is controlled by C4630 SE Main and Numeric Keypad Controllers (available separately). These keypads can accept Sonance FSMR1 or MR1 IR receivers (also available separately) that will let you use the optional IR remote to control the C4630 SE. The IR remote can also be used with stand-alone IR receivers like the Sonance SMR1 Surface-Mount IR Receiver and the CR1 Cabinet-Mount IR Receiver. The C4630 SE can also be controlled by the Sonance Navigator® K2 LCD keypad and the Navigator K1 keypad and can be serial-controlled by 3rd-party control systems via its RS-232 connection.
