INSERT MUTE COMMANDS
Mute commands can be embedded on other keys (NOT designated as Mute Keys) to improve functionality, as follows:
KEYPAD – MUTE ON, OFF OR TOGGLE
These actions, when programmed, provide either discrete ON, discrete OFF or Mute Toggle actions that will work on any
keypad within a Zone. Other keypads set to different addresses within that same Zone will not be affected.
A typical Mute action would be to place a Keypad - Mute Off command on the Volume Up key so that Mute will be released
immediately when Volume Up is pressed, to avoid blasting. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Right click the Volume Up key (it turns dark blue) and go to
“Insert EZ-Pad Mute Relay Command” on the pop-up.
Left click on “Keypad - Mute Off (De-Energized)”. (Refer to Figure 45)

2. “Keypad - Mute Off (De-Energized)“ now appears in the Command List. Select the “Keypad - Mute Off (De-
Energized)“ command line and drag and drop it to be ahead of the Volume Up command.
NOTE: If the “Keypad - Mute Off (De-Energized)“ command line follows the Volume Up command, it will work, but it
will cause the ramping of the MZC-88 volume command to be very slow. In addition, if an IR volume command for an
external amplifier is used for some reason, then the “Keypad - Mute Off (De-Energized)“ command line must be placed
ahead of the Volume Up command line, otherwise the volume command will not ramp when the Volume Up key is
held down.
3. Right click the Volume Up key and left click
“Punch Key’s Commands” and “Yes” on the pop-ups. This will make the
mute action and the volume apply to all Source selections.
4. DOWNLOAD the project and test the mute actions.
NOTE: The embedded Relay Mute commands cannot be tested from the virtual keypad in EZ-Tools.
5. Steps 1 to 4 can be implemented on any of the three EZ-Pad Keypad Modules - to provide special muting actions on
any Function key. They may also be used on Source keys, but in this case, omit step 3 and place them on each Source
key individually. Programming of these muting selections may be repeated for keypads in other zones as desired.
