Elite only) A VGA or DVI output is available for providing a selected picture slide show or onscreen “now playing”information

for the selected source output.

The USB ports are only for use by NuVo Technical Support.

This RJ45 port allows the Music Port to connect to the home’s network. This enables the music files on the home’s network to be

shared on the Music Port’s hard drive and the streaming of online Internet radio stations.

The NuVo distributed audio systems are capable of being controlled serially by a third party home automation system. This

DB9 input is designed to pass incoming serial commands through to the adjacent RS232 output. This allows both Client interface control from
network computers of the attached NuVo audio system, and third party serial control of the same NuVo system.

This DB9 port connects to the attached NuVo distributed audio system. This allows any computer on the home’s network to operate

the Client interface for control of audio zones, source selection, and access to the music library. It also works with the adjacent Passthrough RS232
port to send control commands from a third party home automation system to the attached NuVo audio system.

This RJ45 port connects to the attached NuVo distributed audio system and allows full source metadata display and control from the

NuVo system Control Pads.

The Music Port has four independent stereo RCA audio outputs that allow its audio streaming content and stored music file

audio signal to be sent to any audio distribution system or amplifier.

A standard detachable IEC power cord supplies power to the NV-MPS4. A switching power supply allows the Music Port to

operate world wide at any voltage.
