Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your new

Hi-Fi

by LEVITON 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 2 by LEVITON is an 8-source, 8-zone (expandable to 16 zones) 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 eight possible audio sources is 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 ability to

change the power state, volume setting, balance setting, treble setting, bass setting, and

loudness setting for the respective audio zone. The brightness of the display and the initial

volume setting and paging volume settings for each audio zone can also be configured.

The VSC allows you to view metadata feedback (album, artist, and track) and allows for basic

transport controls (play, pause, next track, and previous track) for supported sources.

Additionally, each VSC includes an IR receiver that allows you to remotely control the Hi-Fi 2

system and/or audio sources from any audio zone in the house.

You can also use the VSC to control advanced features of Hi-Fi 2. Using the Advanced Menu,

you can set the connection status and source gain for each source, whether IR is enabled or

disabled, and whether IR is passed to the connected audio sources.

Furthermore, Hi-Fi 2 by LEVITON can plug and play with LEVITON Omni

and Lumina

home control systems. When connected, the LEVITON controller can set the source and

volume of each audio zone 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

LEVITON controller and displayed on an LEVITON OmniTouch

touchscreen.
