Working With Zone Grouping
In Group Mode , zones can be “grouped” together and controlled as a single zone. This feature is
specifically designed to accommodate a situation where it is desirable to link a combination of rooms
(zones) to a common source. For example when hosting a party and you wish to have the common areas
all linked to the same audio source. When initially creating a zone group, all members of the group will
have the volume set to the same level. The volume can then be adjusted on an individual zone basis, by
using the Navigation Wheel (on the DAS-MET-6SRC keypad) in each zone. Group Volume may be
adjusted at any time.
To enter Group Mode, press the Group button (see FIG. 10).
Group Mode is indicated by all Source LED’s turned On.
Adding a Zone To a Group
1.
Press the Group button to enter Group Mode (all Source LED’s turn On).
2.
Enter the Zone number to add to the group.
3.
Press ENTER to complete (Source LED’s turn Off).
Example (from Keypad in Zone 1):
Press Group + 2 + ENTER = Zone Grouping now includes Zone 1 & 2
Press Group + 4 + ENTER = Zone Grouping now includes Zone 1,2 & 4
Group Mode can also be accessed by pressing and holding buttons 1 and 2 for four
seconds (as is the case with earlier versions of Matrix keypads).

The Zone from which zone grouping is being administered, is assumed to be the first
Zone in the Group. It should, therefore, not be added to the Zone Grouping.
