Installing the Grand Concerto System in Your Home
I. Prewire
The Grand Concerto System uses CAT5 cable for Control Pad control and either two or four-conductor 16-gauge speaker wire. All the wire is “homerun” from each zone to the location of the Grand Concerto amplifier and Audio Source equipment.

twisted pair (UTP) for communication between the Control Pads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.
Top view with tab down.
The Grand Concerto System can accommodate 2,000 total feet of CAT5 cable. For the most reliable operation, it is best that no single run of CAT5 exceeds 250 feet.

The correct wiring scheme for the CAT5 cable is standard EIA/TIA 568A. Properly terminating the CAT5 cable is crucial for the operation of the system. It is very important to use a good quality crimp tool, and test each end to end run with a CAT5 wire tester to insure that your system operates flawlessly, Fig.1.
Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions:
1. Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation, exposing the 4 twisted pairs.
2. Untwist the wires and fan them out individually. Arrange the wires into the correct color scheme as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Flatten the wires in their correct order and trim them evenly across the top. Most crimp tools
have a wire trimmer built-in. It is best to trim the wires
to about ½” in length.
4. While holding the wires flat between your thumb and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45 connector so each is in its own slot. Push the
wire into the RJ45 so all 8 conductors touch the end of the connector. The insulation jacket should
extend beyond the crimp point of the
RJ45.
5. Insert the RJ45 into the crimp tool receptacle
and squeeze the tool firmly. Note that a ratchet type
tool should tighten down until it no longer clicks.
6. The RJ45 should be firmly crimped to the CAT5 insulation. It is necessary that the color
scheme be repeated identically on each end of the wire.
7. Test each termination with a CAT5 Tester before completing the installation.

II. Terminating the Speaker Wire (Fig. 2)
All the NuVo systems operate across a  homerun wiring scheme using CAT5 for the zone Control Pad control communication, and a separate run of speaker wire for each zone from the speaker outputs to the zone speakers. We suggest 16 AWG 2 or 4-conductor speaker wires.
The speaker wire termination is done using a modular  Euro connector. Each conductor is screwed down to the connector block and plugged into the appropriate speaker output on the back of the amplifier. The proper termination is Left channel: – and +; Right channel: – and +.
III. Installing the Grand Concerto Amplifier
System setup works best when the amplifier is placed in the same location as the audio source equipment. This is typically in an audio rack, entertainment center, or a closet dedicated to housing the home audio/video equipment.
Fig. 2

The amplifier should be plugged in and the power button on the front panel should be engaged before proceeding with the rest of the installation. This activates the internal protective circuitry of the Grand Concerto System.
IV. Installing the NV-I8GEZP EZ Port (Fig.3)
The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to accept all the CAT5 wires from the keypads in the system. The location of the EZ Port should be determined by the location of the Grand Concerto amplifier. It is best to place in a wall behind the amplifier that would be easily accessible if necessary.
The EZ Port fits easily in most dual-gang size, low-voltage ring with an open back. These are often referred to as  mud rings . Simply plug the terminated CAT5 wires into any of the 20 available jacks on the back of the EZ Port. The order in which the individual CAT5 wires are plugged in is not important, although it is strongly recommended that you label the CAT5 with the appropriate zone number for future reference.
Fig. 3
Once you have plugged the CAT5 wires into the EZ Port, screw the EZ port into its construction bracket using the supplied mounting screws.
8
V. Connecting the EZ Port to the Grand Concerto Amplifier (Fig. 4)
When the EZ Port is installed in the wall, the only part visible should be the faceplate and four RJ45 jacks. The supplied pre-terminated network cable can then be plugged into one of the six available jacks and into the Network connection on the back of the Grand Concerto Amplifier. Any CAT5 cable terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice should you need a longer connection. Remember, it is important to terminate the cable the same way on both ends.
VI. Attaching Audio Source Equipment (Fig. 5)
Each piece of audio equipment is connected to the Grand Concerto amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach an RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the source equipment and to the desired source input on the back of the Grand Concerto amplifier. The numbered input for each source is important in the configuration of the system. This will be covered in detail in the Grand Concerto Configurator portion of this manual.

Each of the T2G Tuner components houses two individual AM/FM or Satellite receivers, which have their own display on the front panel. Once the T2G is plugged in and the NuVoNet CAT-5 is connected to the EZ Port and initial display, OPERATING MODE will appear for each tuner. Below

SOURCE 4, SOURCE 3, SOURCE 2, and SOURCE 1. Stand Alone is automatically highlighted at initial startup. Selecting the appropriate Grand Concerto source input is accomplished by turning the Select knob for each tuner counter-clockwise until the desired source input number is highlighted. It is selected by pushing the Select knob. Once this is complete, the Grand Concerto NuVoNet will recognize that source.

At initial startup, the front panel display will prompt with OUTPUTA: PRESS OK TO SELECT NUVONET SOURCE. When OK is selected, the top line of the display will read OPERATING
MODE OUT A. Below this, the three available lines will display STANDALONE, SOURCE 1, SOURCE 2 . . . as you scroll using the down arrow button, SOURCE 3, SOURCE 4, SOURCE 5, and SOURCE 6 will appear. Highlight the appropriate choice and
press OK to select. This will set the first channel music output. You will then be prompted to repeat these steps for the remaining two audio outputs, B and C.
NuVoDock for iPod
Both the wired and wireless NuVoDocks for iPod use a simple rotary switch to set the appropriate source input. Up to two wireless NuVoDocks and 6 wired NuVoDocks can be used as individual sources through NuVoNet. The wired and wireless NuVoDocks consist of the dock for iPod playback and recharging and a receiver component designed to communicate with NuVoNet. Prior to plugging the receiver into the Grand Concerto EZ Port, set the Source rotary switch to the desired source number input. Once set, the Grand Concerto Control Pads will automatically display the iPod information when an iPod is plugged into the NuVoDock. Each NuVoDock and receiver must have a separate source number selected.
Note that although the NuVoDock system has a 16 position rotary switch for source input, only positions 1-6 are used.

NuVo T2G Tuner Direct Numeric Access (Fig. 7)
The NuVo T2G Tuners have the ability for direct IR access to numeric station tuning. This can be done through the T2G remote control or using a third party remote control that has been taught the T2G IR codes. To allow this control, it is necessary to link one of the Grand Concerto SUM IR outputs to the Direct IR input on the T2G using a stereo 3.5mm (1/8 ) mono patch cable. Once the connection is made, the T2G will respond to the numeric IR commands issued through the Grand Concerto Control Pad IR receivers.
VII. Connecting the IR Emitters for Third-Party Source Components (Fig. 6)
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the Grand Concerto amplifier to the source equipment using the mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with the Grand Concerto System. The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output on the Grand Concerto and then placed over the IR receiver window on the source component. The IR outputs are individually routed to sources 1-6.
The SUM1 and SUM2 outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from any of the zones. This is most commonly used with an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of components.
