Expanding Concerto to 16 Zones (fig. 8)
Eight additional listening zones can be added to the
Concerto System using the Concerto Expander pack-
age. The expansion is easily done using the Source
Link and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the
Concerto main amplifier (NV-I8DMS).
The necessary cables for this are supplied with the
Expander package. No other connections are necessary
except the AC power cord and the additional speaker
terminations. The additional Cat-5 wires for the zones
9-16 plug into the Concerto main EZ Port.

Using the Concerto Configurator Software
The following section requires the NV-I8DLS IR
Learning Station and Configurator Software. This is
available as a package from NuVo Technologies or any
Authorized NuVo Distributor. The Configurator soft-
ware is a PC program designed to run with Windows
2000, XP, and XP Pro.
1. Main
Startup
The Configurator is a tabbed Wizard-style interface
designed to sequentially walk the installer through the
system setup. When the program is launched, the Start
tab is highlighted. This gives three choices for begin-
ning a configuration. You can either create a new file,
open an existing file, or retrieve an existing file from a
configured Concerto System. Once configured, the fin-
ished program loaded into the Concerto main amplifier
can always be retrieved via the RS232 port and edited.
Once a configuration file has been opened, you can
then click on the next button to continue. The
Configurator will not let you continue beyond Start
without either creating a new file or opening an exist-
ing file. It will also prevent moving forward through
any of the tabs until the necessary information is com-
pleted in any one of the tabs.

When you click on this button, the program goes to a
Config. File. There you can either open one of the exist-
ing configurations or specify the name of a new file.
Configurations are saved with a .cfg extension.
