Changing Source Setup
8. Under
Sub Source Input
, if no additional source is going to be added, use the default setting:
None
. If adding an
additional source, left click the pull-down arrow and select:
Base Aux In
or
Adapter Aux In
.
Base Aux In
allows ste-
reo audio to be connected from a source at the Base location. That is, if the Base is in a remote zone, a device such as a
Video Game, XM or SIRIUS Tuner, Cable Box, etc. can be added so the audio can be played through the MZC amplifier
and zone speakers.
Adapter Aux In
provides the same flexibility for a source connected to the Adapter. There can only
be one Aux In connected per source, but this allows the input capability of the MZC-66 to expand to 12 sources and the
MZC-88 to 14!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The sources connected to the Base and Adapter Aux Inputs are only selectable via
MODE 3.1 Keypads. They are not available to EZ-Pads and cannot be selected by IR remote commands.
For the purpose of the example, the
cable box
that was connected to
Source 5
on the MZC has now been
replaced
by an
iPod
, making the iPod available to
all zones
. The
cable box
is actually
dedicated
to the
Family Room
, where
coincidentally, the
MODE 3.1
is being
installed
. The
cable box
will be
configured
as the
Source 5 Sub Source
Input
in
EZ-Tools
(
Figure 17
) and
connected
to the
Base Aux In
in the
Family Room
.
All zones
will have
access
and control
of the
iPod (Source 5)
.
Only
zones with MODE 3.1 Keypads
will have
access and control
of the
cable box (Source 5a)
which will appear in the
MODE 3.1 Main Menu
as a regular
Source
. Further, as an
option
,
the cable box can be
unchecked
in
Zone Setup
, for any
zones other than
the
Family Room
that get
MODE 3.1
Keypads
, to keep the cable box
dedicated
to the
Family Room.
In addition to dedicated control, this will allow the
cable box audio to feed through the MZC amp and zone speakers for the Family Room. See section:
Connections
for
additional information.
9. In the
Name
block, type in the source name for the device being connected to the Aux In. This name will appear in the
Source List on the MODE Display, so be sure to use a name that will not confuse the user. If there is a Cable Box already
available as a source through the MZC, name the cable box connected to the Aux In: Cable 2.
10. If no other changes are to be made, left click
Apply
in the MZC Setup Window. This will ‘save’ the new configuration. If
additional Bases and Adapters are being added, repeat steps 5-9 above for each new Base/Adapter pair. Left click Apply
to ‘save’ each.
11. A
Warning Window
will appear advising:
‘The Cable Source has been changed to a IPOD Source...Do you still
want to continue?’
Left click
YES
. If multiple source changes have been implemented, a warning for each change will
come up. Review each of these as it is possible that an undesirable change has been made.
12. After the Warning(s) have been cleared, the
Source Setup
under the
Project Content Tab
will update to show the
new source confi guration. (Refer to
Figure 18
) Source 5 will have changed to iPod and a new source,
5a
will show
Cable
. Source 5a is the
Sub Source Input
(Base or Adapter Aux In) confi gured in the previous steps. (Refer to
Figure
17
)
