Page 3: Important Safety Instructions
ENGLISH Danger Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures: DURATION PER DAY (HOURS) 8 6 4 3 2 1... - Page 4 FRENCH Danger L‘exposition a des niveaux eleves de bruit peut provoquer une perte permanente de l’audition, Chaque organisme humain reagit differemment quant a la perte de l’audition, mais quasiment tout le monde subit une diminution de I’acuite auditive lors d’une exposition suffisamment longue au bruit intense.
- Page 5 Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your NuVo System. The Grand Concerto System is truly NuVo's newest masterpiece. The Grand Concerto's state-of-the-art interface and NuVoNet communication with the Grand Concerto Suite of audio components offer the best, most affordable whole-home audio system available.
- Page 6 10. EXT. MUTE: This input is designed to temporarily mute any audio playing through the system when the doorbell or phone rings. This works in conjunction with the NuVo NV-MI1 mute interface accessory. It also acts as a mute for whole-house paging through a phone system when set for this function in the Configurator software.
- Page 7 Grand Concerto Control Pad 1. Source indicator: This indicates the current audio source playing in that zone. Source names can be customized in the Configurator software. 2. Cover plate: Each Control Pad comes with white, ivory, almond, and black trim plates that attach magnetically to the face of the keypad.
- Page 8 Grand Concerto RC1 Remote Control 1. Power: Each zone can be turn on and off, or all zones can be turned off with this button. 2. Volume: This actually serves to functions. In normal operation mode, it is a volume control, but when you are using the menu features of the Control Pad, it allows scrolling up and down.
- Page 9 “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Grand Concerto amplifier and Audio Source equipment. Complete CAT5 Crimping Instructions The NuVo audio systems require CAT5, unshielded, twisted pair (UTP), for communication between the keypads/Display Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
- Page 10 II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (fig. 2) All the NuVo systems operate across a “homerun”-wiring scheme using Cat-5 for the zone keypad control communication, and a separate run of speaker wire for each zone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. We suggest 16-gage 2- or 4-conductor speaker wires.
- Page 11 This will be covered in detail in the Grand Concerto Configurator portion of this manual. Attaching the NuVo T2 Tuners and M3 Server A feature of the Grand Concerto System is its ability to automatically communicate with the T2 AM/FM and Satellite Tuners and the M3 Audio Server.
- Page 12 M3 Server At initial startup, the front panel display will prompt with OUTPUT 1: PRESS OK TO SELECT NUVONET SOURCE. When OK is selected, the top line of the display will read OPERATING MODE OUT 1. Below this the three available lines will display STANDALONE, SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2 .
- Page 13 The following section requires the NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station and Configurator Software. This is available as a package from NuVo Technologies or any Authorized NuVo Distributor. The Configurator software is a PC program designed to run with Windows 2000, XP, and XP Pro.
- Page 14 1.1 Open or Create Grand Concerto Configurator File When you click on this button, the program goes to a Config. File. There you can either open one of the existing configurations or specify the name of a new file. Configurations are saved with a .cfg extension. 1.1 Retrieve Configuration from Grand Concerto To retrieve a configuration from an existing Grand Concerto installation, launch the Configurator software.
- Page 15 Configurator is “Waiting for IR Communications. ” To record a new code, simply point the component's remote control at the IR receiver on the NuVo IR Learning Station Interface. The first time you enter a code, the Configurator determines if it is a “toggling function, ” which means that the remote actually sends two commands back-to-back.
- Page 16 2.4 IR Library Default Key Assignment Once the desired codes are added, assign them to the appropriate key on the Display Pad. To do this, right-click on each code and select “Keys. ” This opens a drop-down menu of the possible key selections for the Grand Concerto Display Pad.
- Page 17 2.6 Adding a Function Code If a required IR code is not in the list of codes, it is possible to add a code to the list by clicking the “Create New” button. The pull-down menu contains a list of all standard IR codes. A name not found in the list can be typed in, but it is recommended that you use the names provided in the list.
- Page 18 4. Macros Each source defined in the “Source” step has a separate Control Pad definition. The “Source to View” pull-down menu provides the display name given to each source. Using the “Next” and “Back” buttons will automatically cycle through all defined sources. An important feature of the NuVoNet Suite is the communication with each Control Pad within the installation, which eliminates the need for Macro Definitions.
- Page 19 4.1.1 Adding Codes to a Macro 4.1.2 Editing Codes in a Macro Double-clicking on a macro step on the right side will open an “Edit Macro Code Settings” window. This allows you to change the delay time before the command is issued. The default delay is .25 seconds.
- Page 20 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.
- Page 21 Enabled Zone Sources: These allow individual sources to be turned off for specific zones. A source that is turned off will not display in that zone. This is particularly useful in preventing child access to a source dedicated to adult listening.
- Page 22 6.1 System Mute Trigger 6.2 External Mute: Paging Trigger The Grand Concerto System has a built-in solution for whole-house paging typically through a phone system. The Paging Trigger setting causes the system to mute across all the zones, and in turn, amplifies the page across all zones. Each Zone Edit utility in the Configurator software or the menu at each Control Pad offers the capability of setting the page volume in each zone.
- Page 23 Favorites: Top-line favorites are global. Favorites or play lists set up with in Windows Media Player and synced with the NuVo M3 Server or within an iPod can be added to the Favorites list. Potential members of this list can also include station presets for the NuVo T2 or other sources such as satellite or cable.
- Page 24 Other zones will be able to listen, but they will have no specific source control. Group: Source Group is a great NuVo feature for large, open-floor living spaces. In this menu option, any zone can be set to share source a group of zones to prevent the likelihood of having more than one source playing in the same open space.
- Page 25 Control Pad. In this case, you would choose NuVo Remote Only. If the zone is in an area that is flooded with sunlight or receives interference from plasma displays, the best choice is All Remotes Disabled.
- Page 26 System Settings: This menu option controls system-wide settings, fig 15. Date/Time: The Grand Concerto has an internal clock that allows each Control Pad to display the current time. Within this menu you can easily set Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Minute. External Mute/Page: The EXT.
- Page 27 Grand Concerto Accessories The NV-I8DLS IR Learning Station Interface 1. PASSTHRU: This LED (light emitting diode) remains lit when the Interface box is actively passing IR information through the system. 2. READY: When you are inputting IR codes into the Configurator using the Interface box, this LED will light when the system is ready to learn a new code.
- Page 28 Capturing IR codes using the IR Learning Station Interface The Grand Concerto Configurator software is designed to store IR codes for audio equipment in an IR Library. When the codes are learned for a given piece of equipment, they are held in the library under that equipment's manufacturer name and model number.
- Page 29 Grand Concerto System, which causes the system to mute momentarily. This is useful in allowing the telephone or doorbell to be heard when audio is playing in any of the zones. The NuVo NV-MI1 Mute Interface Module is designed to automatically mute any audio playing through the System’s speakers when the telephone or doorbell rings.
