Feature Definitions

Whole-House Music (WHM)
After selecting a source in a zone, activating the
WHOLE-HOUSE MUSIC feature (WHM Link) will turn
on all the other zones in the house to the source you
have selected.
When in WHM mode, all the zones are "grouped".
Change source selection in one zone, and all the
other zones will follow; change tracks or radio sta-
tions in one zone, and all the other zones will follow.
Volume control and EQ in each zone remain
independent.
Deactivating the WHM feature (WHM Unlink) simply
"un-groups" all zones, permitting each zone to once
again act independently of each other. WHM Unlink
does not "turn off" any of the zones, it just deacti-
vates the Whole-House Music feature.
Do-Not-Disturb (DND)
If your system includes an ELAN Z•600 Communica-
tions Controller, placing a zone in DND will temporari-
ly eliminate Page & Door Chime audio from playing in
that zone. It will also disable the WHM feature for
that zone. Each zone can be independently placed in
DND.

SYSTEM12
Grouping
Zones can be grouped together so that they track the
same source. Each S12 can support four groups of
any number of zones. A zones cannot be part of
more than one group. In multi-S12 systems, groups
cannot span chassis, ie., Zone 1 and Zone 9 cannot
be part of the same group.
Group assignment is done in VIA!
software. Once zones have been placed in groups,
use the Group Link and Group Unlink IR or serial
commands to enable or disable group functionality.
Dynamic Range Compression (DRC)
Dynamic Range Compression reduces the volume of
loud audio passages and increases the volume of soft
passages. This feature is ideal for classical music or
night-time listening.
DRC can be enabled through VIA!TOOLS software
(a zone can be programmed to turn on with DRC
enabled), or through IR or serial commands sent from
an IR or serial zone controller.
