Each Player features a 3.5mm analog audio line-in. This allows any source capable
of supplying a non-amplified audio signal to become a streaming audio source into
the Player System. The Players are designed to recognize when a device is plugged
in and make it available to the controller as a source selection. To select the source,
go to the menu buttons at the bottom of the Controller interface. Select “More” and
then “Line In” from the choices in the menu. A list of zones associated with Players
that have a local source plugged in will appear. Select the appropriate zone name to
begin listening to audio.
3.3.1 Naming the Local Line-in Source
An option for the Local Source input is the ability to give it a specific name. T his is
useful if it will be connected as a widely used input into the System. When on the
“Line In” screen, touch the +plus button associated with the local zone name then
select “ Rename” . A keyboard will appear so you can type a specific name for the
attached local source.
3.4 Using the Audio Line-out
The Players each have a stereo 3.5mm audio output. This is useful for supplying the
zone’s audio signal to an additional amplification. This can be a receiver, amplifier
capable of driving multiple pairs of speakers, or for use with headphones or ear
buds. The output is active when the zone is powered on, so using it is as simple as
making the necessary audio connection to the desired amplifier. T he output itself is
variable, meaning its audio output level is controlled by the NuVo Control app.
3.5 Bluetooth
The NV-P200 Player comes with Bluetooth® connectivity. T his allows any Bluetooth
enabled device to be paired with a P200 and in turn share any streaming music with
the Portfolio System. Bluetooth devices have two states, paired and connected.
When a device is Paired means that it is recognized by the P200 and is a “ trusted”
device. When music is actually being streamed, it is Connected.
To pair with a NuVo zone, enable Bluetooth on your device. Note the process for
turning the Bluetooth function on will vary with each device manufacturer. By design,
the zones with the Bluetooth enabled P200 Players will appear on the device’s
Bluetooth screen. Select a zone from the device to pair. Once paired, you can select
any music streaming service to stream through the system. The NuVo control app
will allow that device stream to be selected in any other zone.
An alternate means for pairing can be done by holding the Bluetooth button on the
zone Player until the front panel LED begins to flash blue. That zone should then
appear on your device.
