Keypad Address (Zone Number) Settings
Before making any connections to a KP21 Keypad, it must be con-
figured for its unique keypad address (zone number). This address
tells the system which button in which zone is initiating a specific
command or function. The network address is set using the six-
position
DIP Switch on the side of the KP21. There are 20
address configurations. They can be set using the following table
in
Figure 33.
NOTE:
No two keypads can share the same address.

Main Room (Home Theater) Setup
When all audio, video and system connections have been made,
there are a few configuration adjustments that must be made.
A few minutes spent to correctly configure and calibrate the unit
will greatly add to your listening experience.
Speaker Selection and Placement
The placement of speakers in a multichannel home theater system
can have a noticeable impact on the quality of sound reproduced.
No matter which type or brand of speakers is used, the same
model or brand of speaker should be used for the left front, center
and right front speakers. This creates a seamless front soundstage
and eliminates the possibility of distracting sonic disturbances that
occur when a sound moves across mismatched front channel
speakers.
Speaker Placement
Depending on the type of center channel speaker in use and
your viewing device, place the center speaker either directly above
or below your TV, or in the center, behind a perforated front-
projection screen.
Once the center channel speaker is installed, position the front
left and front right speakers so that they are as far away from
one another as the center channel speaker is from the preferred
listening position. Ideally, the front channel speakers should be
placed so that their tweeters are no more than 24" above or
below the tweeter in the center channel speaker.
Depending on the specifics of your room acoustics and the type of
speakers in use, you may find that imaging is improved by moving
the left front and right front speakers slightly forward of the center
channel speaker. If possible, adjust all front loudspeakers so that
they are aimed at ear height when you are seated in the listening
position.
Using these guidelines, you’ll find that it takes some experimenta-
tion to find the correct location for the front speakers in your
particular installation. Don’t be afraid to move things around until
the system sounds correct. Optimize your speakers so that audio
transitions across the front of the room sound smooth, and that
sounds from all speakers appear to arrive at the listening position
at the same time (without delay from the center speaker, compared
to the left and right speakers).
