Zone Setup; Trigger Setup - NAD M15 HD Owner's Manual

ZONE SETUP

The Zone feature allows one to simultaneously experience in different
zones of the house multiple sound and applicable video sources from all
enabled Sources.
The M15 HD has three configurable Zones – Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4.
Use a combination of or ENTER and
Zone Setup menu parameters.
VOLUME
Zone 2 have Fixed and Variable volume control. When set to 'Variable' and
while at the 'Zone Controls' menu OSD, the Zone 2 Volume level can be
adjusted using the HTRM's or directly via ZR 5's VOL
On the other hand, if Volume is set to 'Fixed, ' the Zone 2 Volume is set to
a preset dB level and thereafter the Zone's volume can be varied via the
volume control of the separate amplifier it is fed into.
MODE
Zone 3 and Zone 4 can be configured into two modes – Record Out and
Zone (Audio Only). If the selected mode is Record Out, the audio and
applicable video signal of the assigned Source are directly sent out to the
applicable Audio/Video Output (See Item 2. AUDIO 3 OUT/VIDEO 3 OUT/S-
VIDEO 3 OUT, AUDIO 4 OUT/VIDEO 4 OUT/SVIDEO 4 OUT of REAR PANEL
discussion.) When Zone 3 or Zone 4 is set to 'Record Out' mode, they will not
be available at the 'Zone Controls' section of the Main Menu window.
'Record Out' setting is ideal for making recordings with a VCR or other
similar devices. This setting is also used for multi-zone installations using
passive 'impedance matching' volume controls. See your NAD dealer for
specific information about integrating your M15 HD into a multi-room
audio distribution system.
If "Zone (Audio Only)" is the selected mode for Zone 3 and/or Zone 4, Zone
3 and/or Zone 4 will be enabled at the separate "Zone Controls" menu
option at the Main Menu.

TRIGGER SETUP

The M15 HD features three configurable +12V DC Trigger Output that can
be used to activate a component or system it is fed into. A Trigger Input
is also available to turn on the applicable link it is associated to. Use a
combination of or ENTER and
Setup menu parameters.
TRIGGER OUT
Triggers are low voltage signals used to turn on/off other compliant
devices. The M15 HD's three +12V DC Trigger Outputs (Trigger 1 Out,
Trigger 2 Out and Trigger 3 Out) are dependent on which mode they
are associated with. There are six choices where +12V DC output can be
assigned and these are – Main, Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 2+3+4 and
Source Setup.
Main : +12V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out when the
M15 HD is at powered state.
Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 2+3+4 : When the applicable Zone is
at powered state, +12V DC is available at the assigned Trigger Out.
Source Setup : If Trigger Output is linked to 'Source Setup, ' +12V DC
is available at Trigger Out whenever the particularly assigned Source is
selected. Please see also separate discussion about 'Trigger Out' under
the Source Setup (Normal) section.
DELAY
The availability of +12V DC at Trigger Out can be regulated. If it is desired
that +12V DC is available without delay the moment Trigger Out is linked
to its assigned setting, set Delay to 0s. Otherwise, one can select through a
delay time of 1s to 15s.
AUTO TRIGGER IN
Auto Trigger IN allows external system controllers to toggle the associated
section of the M15 HD from 'Standby' to 'On' and vice versa. When the
TRIGGER switch at the rear panel is set to AUTO, a +12V DC input at Trigger
IN will power ON the section where Trigger IN is assigned,
Main : From standby mode, the M15 HD is powered ON when +12V DC
is applied at Trigger IN.
Zone 2, Zone 3, Zone 4 : Applicable Zone is turned ON whenever +12V
DC is present at Trigger IN.
All : Main, Zone 2, Zone 3 and Zone 4 as described above will all be
activated given a +12V DC input at Trigger IN.
WARNING
If Auto Trigger IN at Trigger Setup menu is assigned to 'Main' or 'All' and
the TRIGGER switch is set to 'AUTO' mode, the Standby button in the
front panel as well as the corresponding ON/OFF function keys in the
HTRM remote control will be disabled effectively handing this function
to an external controller. Switch TRIGGER to 'OFF' to maintain normal
power ON/OFF function procedures.
