SCREWS, WHICH COULD DAMAGE THE FACEPLATE.
Align all the screws in the same direction for a clean,
finished look.
OPERATION
1. Make sure the amplifier or receiver power is OFF and set the
volume to minimum.
2. Set the volume on the volume control to maximum (fully
clockwise).
3. If you are using a Niles speaker-selection system, locate the
ON/OFF button that corresponds to the speaker pair you
wish to play. Set it to the ON position. Make sure the defeat-
able protection circuit is not enabled. See Using Speaker
Selectors with IM Volume Controls, on page 4.
4. Turn ON the amplifier or receiver and select a source, such
as the tuner or CD player.
5. Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to
a comfortable – not maximum – listening level. Don't over-
drive or "clip" your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy
or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier's

volume capability. Reduce the volume at once to avoid
damaging your speakers.
6. Use the volume control to adjust the volume of the speakers
to the desired listening level. If all the speaker pairs in your
system are equipped with Niles volume controls, you can
leave the amplifier or receiver volume set at one position
and use the Niles controls exclusively.
7. To mute the speakers without adjusting the volume control,
press the mute button.
8. To unmute speakers that have been muted, press the mute
button again.
PROGRAMMING CAPABILITY
You can program individual WMVC 100 and WMVC 100E
Muting Volume Controls attached to an MVC HUB4, allowing
certain locations (such as the guest bedroom and porch) to
remain muted when system activation turns on other locations
(such as the kitchen and family room).
To program a WMVC 100 or WMVC 100E for automatic
muting or unmuting, press and hold the mute button for
10 seconds. An LED blinks to indicate that programming
has occurred.
The WMVC 100 and WMVC 100E come from the factory pre-
programmed in the automatic mute mode.
