=== Speaker zoning === | |||
The right side of the Seasonal Options tab also has settings for speaker zoning. There are also selection macros that can be 'played' to make changes to this setting, so check your schedule if they seem to change on you. | |||
Both automatic play (any music or bell ringing activated by the automatic schedule) and manual play (music or bell ringing activated by the remote control or Play Selections menu) can be set so that the speakers will operate inside only, outside only or both (inside and outside). | |||
Generally you would set the automatic mode to play either both or outside only. The factory defaults are to play both inside and outside for automatic and manual selections. | |||
Let’s say for an example, that you only wish the keyboard performances to be heard inside. That is, all non-keyboard bell-ringing needs to play outside only. To accomplish this, set automatic to outside, and manual to outside. Because these options do not affect the keyboard performance modes, only the keyboard will be heard through the inside speakers. | |||
When the system is playing, the green front panel lights will indicate which speakers are active. | |||
