No Party:
This Section is used to lock out system-
wide commands from a specific zone.
The Essentia System has a small accessory
called the MI1 which is designed to mute all zones
when the phone or doorbell rings. This is defeated on a
zone by zone basis by checking the No Mute box.
Installation of the MI1 is covered in the Accessory
section of this manual.
The Essentia System is capable of paging
through audio source input 6. This involves a phone
system that has a paging audio output and a means to
provide a voltage trigger. This is controlled using the
Security tab to set the voltage trigger and utilizing the
Mute Input, see Mute Input page 35.
Master and Party refer to the ability to turn
all zones on simultaneously. In some zones you may
not want this function.
IR Pass-through:
IR Disabled
IR No Pass-through
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
IR pass-through settings for each Control Pad.
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.
Volume Reset at Zone ON:
Loudness Compensation ON:
Exclusive Source Control:
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. Deselecting 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.
Source Grouping:
Lock Zone By Default:
Display Time While Zone Off:
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.
This box will appear grayed out
when in the
“
NV-E6G Mode
”
. The Essentia is not capable of
displaying time on its Control Pads.
