SETUP AND INSTALLATION
NETWORK REQUIREMENTS
A live Internet connection is necessary for initial setup of your Nuvo Player Portfolio System. For wired Ethernet
connectivity, a minimum 100 MB wired network is necessary for proper communication. Wireless-compatible devices
use dual band 802.11n wireless communication. To ensure that all components are compatible and communicating
correctly, it is strongly suggested that network routers using the older 802.11g protocol be upgraded to support
Multicast and UPnP and be Wi-Fi® Certified before you proceed with the setup.
When using an Ethernet connection to the system router, or for initial setup, make a connection from your home
network to one Ethernet port () on the device, using a standard Ethernet cable.
CONNECTING SPEAKERS TO THE NVP100XX AND NVP200XX
The NV-P100-XX and NV-P200-XX players are equipped with five-way binding posts for connecting the amplified audio
signal to the speakers. (See Figure 1).
NOTE: Speakers can be bookshelf, floor-standing, or installed in the wall or ceiling. 16-gauge speaker wire is recommended. Up to 12-gauge speaker wire can be used, if desired.
The binding posts accept multiple methods for terminating the wire:
• Unscrew the post to expose the hole for the speaker wire. Strip approximately 1/4 inch of insulation from the inner
conductor wire, and insert the wire into the hole. Screw the post back into place until the wire is firmly secured.
• Terminate the speaker wire into “banana” plugs and insert those plugs into the end of the binding posts.
• Spade, pin, and wrapping connection methods are also acceptable.
IMP O R TANT: Be careful to keep the positive and negative speaker connections consistent at both ends. Crossing the positive (+) and negative (-) terminations inhibits the
audio quality coming from the amplifier.

USING THE NUVO PLAYER APP
The Nuvo Player app offers wireless system control from any Wi-Fi-enabled mobile device. The Nuvo Player app is
available on the App Store or on Google Play. Both versions offer the same look and control options. When used with
tablets, the display is optimized for a view of the complete system’s operation on one screen.
THE DASHBOARD
System control begins with the Dashboard. Each available zone is represented by an icon. To make a music selection,
drag and drop a zone into a zone group, or simply tap an inactive zone to activate the zone. Once your music selection
is made, the related album art and Now Playing information appears in the zone group. Play music on an individual
zone or share music across zones by dragging and dropping multiple zones into a single group. To deactivate a zone
and stop the music playback in that zone, drag the icon into the open dashboard area below the zone groups (See
Figure 26 & Figure 27).
Figure 26 Figure 27
MUSIC SELECTION
When a zone group is activated (See Figure 27), the app jumps to the music navigation pane (See Figure 28). From
there, any of the available streaming services (See Figure 29), personal music libraries (See Figure 30), Bluetooth®
(See Figure 31), Direct Stream, local Line-in sources (See Figure 32), or media servers can be selected for playback.
The available music choices are visible in a music selection ribbon at the bottom of the screen (See Figure 28). As you
scroll across the selections using your finger, the current service highlights and the display changes accordingly.

LINE IN
Each component has a 3.5 mm stereo audio line in on the back panel. This input allows any compatible analog music
device to be plugged-in and added to the system as an additional source input. To do this, connect a 3.5 mm stereo
audio cable from the audio output on the compatible analog music device into the line in port on the back of the Nuvo
component “Product Features” on page 5 for the port location.
When a line-in music device is connected, select Line In from the app music selection ribbon. The device appears
on the LINE IN menu and is available for selection from any zone (See Figure 37). Once connected, the app switches
to the music menu and music content is controlled from the app on the connected mobile device (See Figure 38). A
“Rename” utility is available by touching the ... option next to the Line Input, which allows a specific name to be given
to the music device in the app.
Figure 37 Figure 38
MEDIA SERVERS
This music streaming service is for DLNA/UPnP media servers on a local network. It is an alternative option to a
Windows share when users have a local library to share. Devices include NAS drives, Windows machines, Mac OS
machines with additional software, etc. This option provides a faster browsing and refresh experience for larger
libraries.
There are a variety of potential router/computer/device-specific needs, so be sure to choose a compatible device. Open
your app, select Media Servers, and choose your content sorting option. (See Figure 39).

a zone is selected, individual settings and controls are available (See Figure 47).
Player Portfolio Audio System | Product Manual
16
Figure 45 Figure 46 Figure 47
The ZONE SETTINGS screen contains simple slider adjustments or on/off choices that control the sound for the
selected zone.
• Bass, Treble, and Balance: These three sliders offer individual control of each sound setting.
• Loudness: This toggle switch provides bass boost designed for low-volume listening.
• Fixed Volume Line Out: Each of the components has an individual audio line out. This feature allows the audio
output of the zone to supply to an additional amplifier, sub-woofer, or even headphones. By default, this feature is
set to off and the volume level of the output adjusts according to the volume setting set from the app. For some
uses, a fixed output volume level is required. For those instances, turn the feature on.
• Mono: When this feature is turned on, it sums the individual left and right stereo outputs into a single identical
audio output for each of the speaker terminals. This is useful when a single mono speaker provides all stereo
audio content to a zone, or if you have a large area in which both of the speakers need to be heard well at a
common listening position.
If you touch the Zone icon and name at the top of the ZONES SETTINGS screen (See Figure 48), the ZONE ICON page
appears. From there, select Edit Name to change a zone’s icon and name (See Figure 49).
The Wireless screen option allows wireless communication to be set at the default 2.4 GHz band or the higher 5 GHz.
In most settings 2.4 GHz is preferred. The 5 GHz option allows more streaming bandwidth and the traffic is much
lower. After turning on this feature, press and hold the Mute button for approximately six seconds, until you see the
LED flash. Release the button. The LED flashes red as the zone reconnects at the new frequency. When the process is
complete, the LED returns to a solid white state. The NV-P100-xx and NV-P200-XX have a “quick change” function for
toggling between 2.4 and 5 GHz communication (See Figure 50).
NOTE: The 5 GHz wireless range is lower than 2.4.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. See instructions if interference to radio or television
reception is suspected.
Radio and Television Interference
installed and used properly–that is, in strict accordance with Nuvo's instructions–it may
cause interference with radio and television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device in accordance with the specification in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications
are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential
installation.
You can determine whether your audio system is causing interference by turning it off. If
the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral
devices. If your audio system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try
to correct the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
• Tum the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the audio device to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the audio device farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the audio device into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television
or radio. (That is, make certain the audio device and the television or radio are on
circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
