Page 2: 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... - Page 3 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 4 Generation D Digital Amplification Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your NuVo System. The Concerto System represents the finest in audio dis- tribution technology.

Page 6: Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide Your Concerto Audio Distribution System is quick and easy to install. This guide outlines the necessary steps for an accu- rate and successful installation—and years of audio enjoyment for your customers. Step 1: Check your package for all of the components. Your box should contain the following items: 1 NV-I8M six-source, eight-zone amplifier •... - Page 7 Concerto Amplifier Front Panel Concerto Whole-Home Audio System POWER STAND BY POWER Button: STAND-BY LED: Zone Status LEDs: ZONE 1 ZONE 2 ZONE 3 ZONE 4 ZONE 5 ZONE 6 The amplifier is designed to be turned on and remain on. The power button sup- plies power to the system.
- Page 8 This is a constant 12-volt output for turning on external equipment. 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.

The display is designed to be easily read in any light. It is capable of displaying 16 alphanumeric figures in a string.
- Page 10 Installing Concerto Complete Cat 5 Crimping instructions The NuVo audio systems require Cat 5, 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 11 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 speak- ers.
- Page 12 Installing the NV-I8EZP EZ Port (fig.3) The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the sys- tem. The location of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behind the amplifier that would be easi- ly accessible if necessary.

This is available as a package from NuVo Technologies or any Authorized NuVo Distributor. The Configurator soft- ware is a PC program designed to run with Windows 2000, XP, and XP Pro.

- Page 17 Screen 2.5 When a new code is added, while it is still highlighted, click on the test button. This will open the IR Library Test window. Make sure that the IR Learning Interface box’s IR emitter is either facing the IR receiver window of the source equipment or an IR emitter is plugged into the IR emitter output and affixed to the IR receiv- er window of the source equipment.
- Page 18 Screen 3.1 An important feature of the "Select Source" window is the "Gain" level control. Different pieces of source equipment tend to have different levels of audio output signal. This slider control allows you to compensate for equipment that has an inherently lower volume level. By using this adjustment, when switching between sources, relative volume levels remain constant.
- Page 19 Each macro has a "Display Name" that is used to describe the macro. Before a macro can be saved, the name of the macro must be established. The "Display Pad Continuous" checkbox determines if the name of the macro is constantly displayed while listening to that source or if another button command is pushed.

- Page 22 XI. Display Pad Setup Factory-new Installation The system should be programmed with the Configurator prior to setting up the Display Pads for the first time. The Concerto amplifier should be placed in its permanent location, plugged in, and turned on. When a Display Pad is plugged in for the first time, the following sequence will occur: 1.
