bottom of all three pages.

Select an AV Zone:
o
In Design Center, select a multi-room zone or filtered
zone; for example select Zone 1 from the 850D-DA
Amplifier. The sources available to that AV Zone and
the current source selected determine the controls

Vantage recommends naming sources with short
names using lower case letters. Equinox changes all
text to lower case characters in each source name.
Examples; dmm s1 or technics s2.
o
Some AV Zone display icons are dynamic to include
appropriate information and/or interface controls
depending on the source selected.
Example: If the selected source is a DMM
playlist or an AM/FM tuner, the control buttons
and other metadata update automatically.
