EachzoneControlPadhasanIRreceiver
forwirelessremotecontrol.Byitsnature,IRissusceptible
toexternalinterference.Toaccountforthis,thereisspecific

turnsofftheIRreceivercompletelyandeliminatesany
possibilityofacompetinglightsource.Thisisusefulinan
environmentinwhichtheControlPadreceiveriscompeting
withoverwhelmingsunlight.ThiswillpreventIR
communicationthroughoutthesystemandtherefore,itis
bettertoeliminatethatlightsource.
preventsthird-partyremotecontrolcommandsfrombeing
accepted,butstillallowstheNuVoNV-GRC1remotecontrol
tooperatethesystem.Insomezonesthisisnecessarywhen
athird-partyremoteisoftenusedtocontrolanon–NuVo
SystemsourcesuchasaTV.Thiswouldeliminatethatremote
control'scommandsfrombeingreceivedbytheControlPad
andpassedthroughtothesourceequipment.
Thisallowsforonezonetoautomatically
listentothesamesourceasallotherzonesinthegroup.This
isaveryusefulfeatureforalargeopenareawhereitisnot
practicalformorethanonesourcetobeplayingatonetime.
TheadvantageofthezonegroupisthateachControlPad
withinthegrouphastheabilitytoturnonoroff,mute,and
controlvolumeindependently.Thisdrop-downmenuallows
anyzonetobeassignedtoagroup,orasanindividualzone
withnogroupaffiliation.Uptofourdistinctgroupscanbe
created.
Thischeckboxturnsonafunctionthat
automaticallypreventsanyfunctionalityfromthezoneuntil
theassignedsecuritycodeisentered.Primarily,the
functionpreventsanoutsidezonefrombeingturnedon
exceptwhenthehomeownerreallywantstolistentoit.
Checkingthisboxcausesthe
ControlPadtoautomaticallydisplaythecurrenttimewhen
thezoneisturnedoff.Innormaloperationthetimeisalways
displayedintheupperrightcorner.Thetimeisautomatically
setaccordingtothecomputerwhentheconfigurationis

Bothbassandtreblecanbeadjusted

to+18dB.Keepinmindthattheselevelscanalsobesetat
thezoneControlPadswithmusicplaying.Thiswillbe

Azone-specificfeatureisthe
abilitytohaveazoneautomaticallyresettoalowvolume
levelwhenthezoneisturnedon.Thischeckboxinitiates
thatfeatureandistiedtotheZoneResetVolumelevelset
aboveit.Ifthisboxisnotchecked,thezonewillturnonat
thelastvolumelevel.
Thisboxdefaultstocheckedand
enablesanautomaticbassandtrebleboostwhenthezoneis
atalowlisteninglevel.ThisEQgraduallyflattensoutasthe
zonevolumeisincreased.Uncheckingtheboxturnsthis
functionoff.
Checkingthisboxgivesthiszone
exclusive “donotdisturb” controlofanychosensource.
Otherzoneswillhavetheabilitytolistentothatsource,but
theywillnothaveanyspecificfunctioncontrol.

Thisallowsthevolumeinazonetobelimited.
Thiscanbedoneeithertoavoiddamagetolow-power
speakersorsimplytopreventacertainroomfrombeing
turneduptoohigh(e.g.,ateenager'sbedroom).
Thiscontrolstheresetvolumelevelforeach
zonewhentheAllOn/PartyModeisinitiatedfromanyofthe

Ifyouareusingthepagingfeatureofthe

levelofthepagezonebyzone,byusingthisvolumecontrol.
Therangeis –78dBto –30dB,withadefaultat –40dB.
Thelevelofoutputtotheleftandrightspeakersis
adjustedhere.Thedefaultiscenter,butdependingonthe
locationofthespeakersandtheoptimallisteningareaof
theroom,itmaybeadvantageoustoadjustthebalanceto
eithertheleftortheright.
