System Settings - Nuvo Essentia NV-E6GMS-DC Installation Manual

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.
Display Settings: The overall brightness and AutoDim feature
for each Control Pad are set using these drop-down menus.
The first menu is the display brightness. The choices are
Dimmest, Dim, Not So Bright, Normal, Bright, Brighter,
Brightest . The second menu sets the duration for the
AutoDim feature. These range from
up to 1 Hour . The next menu sets a specific
AutoDim Brightness Off removes all display and backlighting.
Using AutoDim Brightness Low, AutoDim Brightness Medium,
or AutomDim Brightness High
but does not make the Control Pad completely dark.
Slave To: This drop-down menu is used to assign additional
"slave" Control Pads to a zone. Up to 14 Control Pads can be
used in an installation. The Allport hub is equipped with
additional RJ45 ports to accommodate all the system's
Control Pads. This is a useful feature for large rooms where
more than one Control Pad is desired. If slave Control Pads
are used, we suggest that you disable the IR pass-through on
those to prevent cross-communication. The Slave To function
can also be used to tie two or more zones together under the
control of a single Control Pad.

to set the clock for 24 hour display and if necessary to set a

The Essentia System has an accessory, the NV-MI1 Mute
Interface, which is designed to mute any music playing
through the system when a doorbell or phone rings, see MI1
Mute Interface, pg. 35. When setting the System Mute
Trigger, set the mute input to respond to the contact closure
