OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
OFF KEY EVENTS
When you press the OFF Key/Button, up to four events may occur. The first event is the Zone OFF sequence
programmed by the installer for the zone that is turning OFF.
The second event is factory programmed and turns the zone or all zones OFF every time the OFF Key/Button
is pressed.
The third event is responsible for turning OFF the source components and occurs only if the zone turning OFF
was the last zone ON in the system (including the Home Theater zone that shares source components). This
event requires no programming. The programming accomplished for the Master Key Source ON events is
reversed to deactivate the source components.
The fourth event is the System OFF sequence programmed by the installer. It occurs only if the zone turning
OFF was the last zone ON in the system (including the Home Theater Zone that shares source components).

OFF KEY/BUTTON OPERATION
The manner in which the Off Key/Button operates the system is determined by the system configuration and
how the OFF Key/Button is pressed.
These various types of operation are especially useful in systems with multiple rooms within the zones.
Important Note: When a zone has more than one room, a Niles Silencer Volume Control and Master Keypad
Module are required in each room within the zone to provide individual ON/OFF and volume adjustment.
Following is an operational description for zones with one room and zones expanded into multiple rooms
using Silencers.
A Zone with One Room
Individual-Room Operation - A press of the Off Key for less than three seconds in a zone that is currently
ON (selected Master Key illuminated GREEN) causes that zone to turn OFF (Master Key LED turns OFF).
OFF Key Events 1 and 2 occur for that zone. OFF Key Events 3 and 4 occur if that zone is the last zone turn-
ing OFF in the System and the Home Theater that shares sources is also OFF.
System-Wide Operation - A press and hold of the OFF Key for more than three seconds always turns all
zones OFF (Master Key LEDs turn OFF). Event 1 occurs in the zone issuing the All OFF command and Event
2 occurs for all other zones, sequentially. Additionally, Events 3 and 4 occur if the Home Theater that shares
sources is also OFF.
