Introduction
Thank you for purchasing your new Hi-Fi by HAI audio distribution system. You are about to enjoy the
freedom and convenience of listening to and sharing music from your stereo, iPod™, satellite radio,
digital cable TV, computer, CD player, or any other music source in any room in your home.
Hi-Fi by HAI is a six-source, eight-zone audio distribution system that powers speakers through digital
amplification. Its modular design gives you the flexibility for expansion as your needs change.
General
Each of the six possible audio sources are connected directly to Remote Input Modules (RIM) in rooms
that will have music sources that you wish to use. When you plug any music source into a RIM using a
standard stereo input jack, it can be shared with any room that has a Volume-Source Control (VSC).
Additionally, each RIM features a routed IR emitter jack and includes a flasher to allow you to use the
remote control of your source equipment in any room that has a VSC.
The audio sources can be selected and controlled by any VSC. The VSC provides the capability to
change the power state, volume, balance, treble, and bass settings for each zone. Additionally, each
VSC include an IR receiver that allows you to remotely control the Hi-Fi system and/or audio sources
from any zone in the house.
You can also use the VSC to control advanced features of Hi-Fi. While in Advanced Mode, you can set
the source gain and the connection status of each source and whether IR is enabled or disabled, whether
IR is passed to the audio sources, zone groups, and paging volume for each zone.
Furthermore, Hi-Fi by HAI can plug and play with HAI's Omni home control systems and Lumina
lighting control systems. When connected, the HAI controller can set each zone's source and volume for
parties, watching TV, morning news, or any other activity. Any changes made to the power state,
volume, or source at a VSC will be updated on the HAI controller and displayed on an HAI OmniTouch
touchscreen.
