Option Description
Group 1-8
• Select Zones: Click on each checkmark box to include it in the group. Zones
that are included in the group will be switched to the selected source and
volume properties set in this section when the group becomes active. Do Not
Disturb can be enabled ad hoc as necessary even if the desired zone is part
of an active group and will allow temporary omission from the group’s source
and volume setting changes.
• Ungrouping Action: The current state of a zone (e.g. source selection and
volume level) is saved to internal memory when a group is activated,
therefore when the group is disabled these settings can be recalled or
ignored when restoring a zone to its pre-grouping operating state. The
options are as follows:
Original: Recalls and applies the pre-group activation state (source
and volume settings) of each zone within the group when it is disabled
(ungrouped). Zones that are assigned to an active group but are set to Do Not
Disturb mode will not be aected when that group is activated or deactivated.
Continue: This option will keep the current source and volume settings that
were active when the group was deactivated. This means that zone settings
are not saved into memory when the group is activated, and once the zone
is deactivated (ungrouped) all zones will continue with whichever source and
volume settings were last active with the group, however each zone will revert
to default functionality whereby they can change their source and volume
levels without aecting any other zone.
• Zone Volume Adjustments: There are 2 prevailing methods of aecting
volume levels in unison across zones when they are grouped, and both are
available here:
Absolute: This method of unied volume control will set each zone to the
same set level (0 to 100) when a group is activated. Volume adjustments to
the group will aect all zones equally and in unison. Please note that in this
mode, if a particular zone is regularly set to a lower or higher volume level
than others due to a zone’s aectual size, this method of volume control may
be undesirable as the balance of sound across all grouped zones will be equal
in power and may be perceived softer/louder in one zone versus another. In
this case, it would be more appropriate to use the Relative mode.
