- Multi-room Audio
User guide
The Multi-room audio system is tailored to suit your property and consists of a number of in-ceiling speakers connected to the multi-room audio hub within
the
DP
. The multi-room audio speakers are controlled using a simple infra-red remote control. Each pair can play music from main audio source such as a
hi-fi system, located in the Main Living Space as standard. Additionally each pair can connect to a local audio source, such as an MP3 player, plugged into
the Local Audio Socket (if fitted).
Overview
Each pair of multi-room audio in-ceiling speakers can listen to a remote Main Audio Source which is typically located in the Main Living Space. This could
be a CD player, mini Hi-fi system, radio, MP3 player or even an audio output from a Media Centre computer. A stereo signal is required and this must be
connected to the
DP
using the Main Media Socket and a Multi-room Audio Dongle (the Multi-room Audio Dongle will of been provided by your installer).
Connecting your Main Audio Source
Each pair of multi-room audio in-ceiling speakers can connect to a remote Local Audio Source (if Local Audio Socket is installed). This could be a CD player,
