Zone Controller
For Use with the Model MDS-6A Music Distribution System
Installation & Operation Instructions
The MCS-1A Zone Controller’s source keys are used to select which audio source device (CD, TUNER, TAPE, DVD, DBS, TV, etc.) will be played from its specific speaker zone. The speaker’s volume can be adjusted, or muted, using the keys on the Zone Controller. Any infrared remote control code sent to the MCS-1A from a handheld remote will be repeated to source devices through the MDS-6A.
Two special features are available for each Zone Controller. The “whole-house-music” feature will play a selected audio source from all of the system’s speaker zones. The “do-not-disturb” feature prevents a speaker zone from responding to “whole-house-music” commands from other Zone Controllers and mutes any system wide pages to that speaker zone.
The MCS-1A keys can light in three colors (green, red, & yellow) to show the status of the speaker zone. The optional key backlighting (selectable with dipswitch #1) lights all of the keys with a pleasant green glow. The audio source selection keys will light red to indicate the selected audio source. When “whole-house-music” is selected the designated audio source key lights yellow. The MUTE key normally lights green, then lights red when the speaker zone is muted. The MUTE key blinks yellow when “do-not-disturb” feature is active for the speaker zone and lights yellow when “do-not-disturb” is active and the speaker zone is muted.
