MODE 3.1 Installation Instructions

INTRODUCTION
MODE is the Music On Demand Experience. The SpeakerCraft MODE 3.1 Keypad creates the ultimate media control experi-
ence by providing real-time system status, menu-driven control options and source metadata with its 3.1” vertically mounted
high-resolution color LCD. Menu options include system source selection, MZC Internal Tuner Presets with frequency, iPod
menus and metadata as well as a variety of Keypad Setup options.
The real beauty of the MODE 3.1 is that it is so easy to operate. A Scroll Wheel and Select Button allow navigation through
and selection of the displayed menu options. Once a source has been selected, 8 back-lit programmable hard keys provide
source control and on-screen menu navigation for sources such as DVD players, media servers, satellite receivers, cable
boxes, etc. These buttons have all of the programmability expected of a SpeakerCraft Keypad, with each button being able to
initiate single IR commands, RS232 commands, SpeakerCraft MZC Internal commands and macros in each of up to three tiers
of functionality.
Volume is controlled with a back-lit control knob that features a series of LEDs that give a visual indication of the volume set-
ting.
MODE 3.1 is designed specifi cally for use with SpeakerCraft MZC Series Multi-Zone A/V Amplifi er Controllers. They can be
mixed and matched with SpeakerCraft EZ-Pad Keypads and run on the same CAT5 or 5-conductor wire used for EZ-Pads.
The MODE 3.1 includes a J-box Mounting Bracket that allows installation in most standard 2-gang low-voltage new construc-
tion and some retro-fi t electrical boxes. This design philosophy allows MODE Keypads to be retrofi t to upgrade existing MZC
Systems when the user is incorporating an iPod or a media server.
Though parts of this manual cover the SpeakerCraft MODE Adapter and MODE Base for incorporating iPod and additional
sources, the MODE 3.1 Keypad does not require these components for installation and operation. MODE 3.1 can be installed
without the MODE Adapter and Base and used purely as an upgrade to EZ-Pads in MZC Systems.
MODE 3.1 is programmed with SpeakerCraft’s EZ-Tools Programming Software and follows procedures similar to those used
with EZ-Pad Keypads. All MZC System commands, IR Library commands and RS232 commands previously saved in EZ-Tools
can be used to program MODE 3.1 for what it is: The Music On Demand Experience.
