Using the Maestro

Section 4-1

Using the Maestro

Now that you’ve gotten everything connected together and

configured properly, it’s time to sit back and enjoy the

fruits of your labor. Since the Maestro gives you two inde-

pendent “zones” to view and listen to your system (the

Main home theater zone and the remote Zone 2) we’ll

cover them separately. The primary different between the

two zones is that there is multi-channel surround sound

for the Main zone and 2 channel stereo in the second

zone.

Main Zone

All operation of the Maestro can be done with either the

front panel display or the On-Screen Display (OSD) on the

video display. The OSD is simpler to use since the larger

display allows all the menu options to be listed at once.

Turning the Maestro On

There is actually two levels of turning the Maestro on.

Firstly, the main front panel

OWEROWER

OWER button must be pressed.

This turns on the AC power to the Maestro. In most sys-

tems this power switch will ALWAYS be left on so the

theater automation system can control the Maestro. When

the Maestro receives a power off command from the IR or

RS-232 inputs it goes into a sleep

StandbyStandby

Standby mode. The

Maestro is a very light sleeper and will wake back into

normal operation by pressing any source input button or

sending a power on command from the IR or RS-232

inputs.Choosing your Input

Using the Main Menus

The Main Menus enable the user to make temporary

changes in the operation of the Maestro. These settings

clear away when you turn the Maestro to Off or Standby.

Refer to Section 3 - Configuration, for permanent changes.
