Multizone Operation

The DMC 1000 is capable of streaming audio to up to four independent

zones simultaneously, allowing users in different areas of the home to

enjoy unique programs. The zones may easily be linked or unlinked to

each other, to play the same program in more than one zone. Manage

the zones by displaying the Main Menu and selecting the Zones command.

The screen shown in Figure 46 will appear.

Figure 46 – Zones Menu

Zone 1 is the current zone, as indicated by the checkmark in the box to

its left. Each zone is assigned a different color box, indicating none of the

zones are linked to other zones.

To rename a zone, highlight the button containing its name and press the

Enter Button. Select one of the default names, such as Den or Dining

Room, or create a new name. The DMC 1000’s character-entry dialog

box will appear to guide you. (See Figure 35.)

To link zones together, highlight the line for what will be the “master” zone.

If other zones are linked to the master zone, content playing in the master

zone is streamed to any zones linked to it. Select the Zone Links option,

and then select one or more of the other three zones to link to the

master zone.

To unlink zones, highlight the master zone and select the Zone Links option.

Click on a linked zone to select it for unlinking.

To begin playback in any zone, navigate to its line, make sure the colored

box to the left of the zone name is highlighted and press the Enter Button.

A checkmark will appear in the box. Press the Menu Button to display

the Main Menu, and the current zone, along with any other zones linked

to it, will be identified in the upper right corner of the video display.

Select content for playback in that zone as usual.

When you return to the Zones menu, the cover art for the current selection,

or a generic icon when no cover art was found, appears to the left of the

line for each active zone.

Interrupt playback to any zone by navigating to it and selecting the Pause

Playback option. The DMC 1000 will remember its location in the

current selection when the Play Button is pressed to resume playback.

When the Stop Playback option is selected, the DMC 1000 will not

remember the location, and when the Play Button is pressed,

playback will start from the beginning of the selection.
