6 Operating the system
This chapter gives basic operating instructions for the Systemline
Modular System.
Unless the system is going to be out of
use for an extended period, it is designed
to be powered up at all times. The standby
current consumption is very low with a 6
zone system consuming around 15 Watts.
How the system is used will depend
largely on how it is confi gured,
particularly in relation to the source
components. However the following
guidelines should help:
The operational examples assume that
speakers are IR enabled, that keypads
are connected, and that local inputs are
enabled. Please view accordingly, if any of
these features are not specifi ed.
Turning a zone on
• Press the
O
key on either the keypad or
remote.
The blue LED will illuminate on the
speaker and also on the keypad if fi tted.
The zone will always turn on at the pre-
programmed turn on volume.
The blue LED indicates that the speaker’s
input is listening to the system input.
If audio is playing from a source you
should now be able to hear it through the
speakers.
To adjust the listening volume
• Use the
VOL+
or
VOL-
keys on either the
remote or keypad.
To select the local source
• If a local audio source is connected press
the Local
L
key on the remote or
O
key on
the keypad to toggle to the next input.
The green local LED will illuminate on the
speaker and also on the keypad if fi tted.
Note:
The volume will ramp down and the
speaker will switch to the local and the
volume will be ramped up again to the
previous volume.
You cannot select Local unless the speaker
is on system – blue LED illuminated.
To switch back to system input
• Press the
O
key on the remote or the
O
key on the keypad.
The blue system LED will illuminate on the
speaker and also on the keypad if fi tted.
To mute the system
• Press the
Mute
key on the remote. The
volume will ramp down and the input
status blue or green LED will fl ash to
indicate that the speaker is muted. To
release the mute press the
VOL+
key on
the remote or keypad.
Note:
You cannot select
Mute
on the
keypad.
To switch the zone off
• Press the
O
key on the remote or the
O
key on the keypad.
Controlling of the audio source is done
using either the original equipment
remote or else a learning remote
containing the source codes. Point the
remote at the IR receiver window on the
speaker grille or the wall-mounted keypad.
Sub-zone operation – independent
operation
Ensure that the main zone is out of
standby by pressing the
O
key on the
keypad or remote within the main zone.
Select either the System or Local main
zone input depending on which source
you want to feed through to the sub-zone.
Remember:
If the main zone is off the sub-
zone’s system input will be off.
