Congratulations on your purchase of the NUVO E Series audio distribution system. The E Series offers the newest

in multi-zone/multi-source audio technology in an attractive, easy-to-install, and simple-to-use package.

The E Series system is designed for the home owner. Its attractive, backlit keypads are elegant, easy-to-operate,

and able to be customized for any installation. Included with each keypad are molded, screwless cover plates in

white, ivory, almond and black, to best match your home’s decor in every room. Also included with each keypad

are thirty preprinted, interchangeable buttons, which allow the system to be specifically tailored for each installation.

Using the E Series is as easy as the push of a button. The E6M amplifier is designed to be turned on and left on.

Each zone can then be turned on or off independently, or all zones can be turned off simultaneously by using the

“ALL OFF” command at any one of the keypads. Individual volume control and mute for each zone is also as easy

as the push of a button.

For the ultimate convenience, each E Series system includes an NV-RC1 infrared (IR)remote control. Complete

control of audio source selection, volume, mute, or the innovative “ALL OFF” function are in the palm of your hand.

Aim your RC1 remote at the IR receiver on the keypad, press the button for the command you desire, and the E

Series does the rest.

The built-in IR repeater allows for direct access to all of your audio source equipment by utilizing the individual

audio component’s hand-held remote, or you can enjoy the convenience of having all of the commands of your

audio source equipment in one universal learning remote. In addition, the RC1 remote is the perfect tool for teaching

all of the functions of the E Series keypads to any learning remote control, so you have complete control of not

only the E Series system, but of all your individual audio components from any room of the house.

The following pages of the manual are step-by-step instructions for installing the E Series in your home. We suggest

that you read and understand this installation guide in its entirety before installing your NUVO E Series system.

Proper installation will insure years of audio enjoyment.
