8.2 [Zone] Tab
The
[Zone] Tab
enables installation zones to be defined
and named, and provides access to further sub-menus.
Zones might be lounge or dining areas for example, or
different rooms in the home. For all [Zone] Tab menus,
the installation zone under configuration is selected by
highlighting one of the zone identifiers (A, or B) at the top
of the page.

NOTE
Compression can be useful to reduce the volume
difference between loud and quiet audio material. The
lower the compression threshold is set, the more
the difference between loud and soft will be reduced.
The overall zone volume may need to be increased
when compression is used. The default compression
parameters are appropriate for most installations.
