c) 

Mute Button 

The mute button allows a radical decrease of the volume of the zone / zones to a minimum. 

When  the mute is disabled, the zones will recover the volume they had before being 

silenced. If the mute button is turned on in a zone / zones which was not selected, there will 

be no setting on it

 

d) 

Volume Indicator 

The volume indicator goes from -100dB minimum to 0dB maximum. If a zone is selected, 

the current volume level will be displayed, and will be updated while the settings are 

made. Where multiple selections are made, any value will be shown, until a setting is 

made. In this case, only the setting made will be display.  

 

e) 

Routed Source 

This field will show the audio source routed to the selected zone. 

 

f)              Volume Adjustment Buttons 

The volume adjustment window has two buttons to adjust "+" and "-", each time one of 

them is pressed, it will be increased or decreased , as many decibels as the "Gain Step 

Setting" is displaying. To carry out this setting, select the zone/zones in which to perform 

the adjustment, change the value of the volume, and confirm by pressing "OK".  

 

To cancel, press the "BACK" button. No Zone/Zones are selected, the settings will be 

applied to all zones. 

   

NOTE: If multiple zones are selected, it is possible to apply a relative increase or 

decrease in volume. The maximum value that can reach the group is determined by the 

zone, within the selected group, which has the highest volume. So when it reaches the 

0dB (maximum), or the set step is greater than the difference between 0dB and the 

current value will not be allowed to continue to increase the volume. The same happens in 

the case of the minimum volume. 

  

3.5.2  Route Sources 

To route any available audio source to any of the zones or group of zones, press the button 

“ROUTE SOURCES”. The following window will appear:
