Page / Mute
Hi-Fi2 has the capability of playing audio over all speakers in your home in special circumstances. For
example, it can announce when someone is at the door or when the telephone is ringing. This feature is
called paging. If paging is used, the paging audio source will be connected as audio Source 8. When an
audio page is initiated, all audio zones will be turned on at the paging volume that was configured in the
Advanced Menu and switched to Source 8. When the page is complete, all audio zones will be returned
to their previous source selection, power state, and volume setting.
When Hi-Fi2 is making an announcement using the Page function, every VSC in the systems will
display "Source 8", indicating that a page is being sent to all audio zones. Once the page is complete,
every VSC will revert back to displaying its current source or turn off, as appropriate.
If desired, the Page function can be used to mute all audio zones instead of making an announcement.
For example, you may simply want all of the audio zones on the Hi-Fi2 systems to be muted when
someone is at the door or when the telephone is ringing. To configure Hi-Fi2 to mute all audio zones,
set the Page Volume for each audio zone to “0” as described under “Page Volume Setting” in this guide.
Zone Grouping
Your installer may have configured Zone Grouping in your system. Zone Grouping allows you to
connect two or more audio zones to the same source, volume, and/or power state so that any or all of
these items are controlled together. When audio zones are placed in a group, you can change any of the
configured items from any VSC in that group.
An example of Zone Grouping may be a kitchen and family room that are openly connected. Both the
kitchen and the family room have a VSC to be able to select and control audio. Zone grouping allows
both of these audio zones to act as one larger audio zone.
Contact your installer for additional information about Zone Grouping
