Audio Zones dialog
The Audio Zones dialog (FIG. 3) is used to configure up to 30 Audio Zones, and create groups of
room/locations. This dialog effectively connects a room/location name to an audio zone.
The options in this dialog also allow you to connect a video output to an audio zone:
 The Zone column lists the audio zones. The number of Zones that are enabled n this
dialog depends on the number of Audio Zones specified in the System Information
dialog.
 The Name column consists of a series of drop-down menus, which allow you to associate
a Room Name to each zone. Click the down-arrow to select a name from a list that is
based on the Rooms/Locations Names entries (also established in the System Information
dialog).
 The Group column consists of four checkboxes per zone that allow you to associate two
or more Rooms/Locations to a Group. Each Group requires at least 2 Name selections to
enable the next incremental Group For example the checkboxes for Group 2 are only
enabled if at least two different Names are associated with Group 1.
Furthermore, a change in selections that result in less than 2 selections in any Group will
result in subsequent Groups being disabled.
 The Video Output To Zone column consists of a series of drop-down menus, which
allow you to associate a Video Output (1-24) to each zone that uses a source that was
specified as being capable of video-output (via the Use Video checkbox in the Audio
Sources dialog).
