Hi-Fi
TM
2 has the capability of playing audio over all speakers in your home in special
circumstances. For example, it can announce when someone is at the door or when the
telephone is ringing. This feature is called paging. If paging is used, the paging audio source
will be connected as audio Source 8. When an audio page is initiated, all audio zones will be
turned on at the paging volume that was configured in the Advanced Menu and switched to
Source 8. When the page is complete, all audio zones will be returned to their previous source
selection, power state, and volume setting.
When Hi-Fi 2 is making an announcement using the Page function, every VSC in the systems
will display "Source 8", indicating that a page is being sent to all audio zones. Once the page is
complete, every VSC will revert back to displaying its current source or turn off, as appropriate.
If desired, the Page function can be used to mute all audio zones instead of making an
announcement. For example, you may simply want all of the audio zones on the Hi-Fi 2
systems to be muted when someone is at the door or when the telephone is ringing. To
configure Hi-Fi 2 to mute all audio zones, set the Page Volume for each audio zone to “0” as
described under “Page Volume Setting” in this guide.
Zone Grouping
Your installer may have configured Zone Grouping in your system. Zone Grouping allows you
to connect two or more audio zones to the same source, volume, and/or power state so that
any or all of these items are controlled together. When audio zones are placed in a group, you
can change any of the configured items from any VSC in that group.
An example of Zone Grouping may be a kitchen and family room that are openly connected.
Both the kitchen and the family room have a VSC to be able to select and control audio. Zone
grouping allows both of these audio zones to act as one larger audio zone.
Contact your installer for additional information about Zone Grouping.
