Danger

Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent

hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably to noise induced hearing

loss but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently

intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government's

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified

the following permissible noise level exposures:

According to OSHA, any exposure in the above permissible limits could

result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear canal or over

the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to

prevent a permanent hearing loss. If exposure in excess of the limits as

put forth above, to insure against potentially harmful exposure to high

sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to

equipment capable of inducing high sound pressure levels, such as this

amplification system, be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in

operation.

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the NuVo Essentia audio distribution system. Essentia offers the newest in

digital audio technology in an attractive, easy-to-install, and simple-to-use package. Generation D digital amplifi-

cation means that Essentia is able to create clear, precise sound without producing a large amount of heat.

Because digital amplification is far more efficient, Essentia draws only one third of the power of conventional

analogue amplifiers.

The Essentia system is designed for the homeowner. Its attractive backlit keypads are elegant, easy-to-operate,

and able to be customized for any installation. Included with each keypad are white, ivory, and almond cover

plates to best match your home’s décor. Also included with each keypad are twenty preprinted audio source but-

tons for customizing your system for your use.

Using the Essentia is as easy as the push of a button. Each listening zone can be turned on or off independently,

or all zones can be turned off simultaneously by using the "ALL OFF" button at any one of the keypads.

Individual volume control for each zone is also as easy as the push of a button.

The built-in IR receiver allows for direct access to all of your audio source equipment by utilizing the individual

audio component’s hand-held remote, or you can also enjoy the convenience of having all of the commands of

your audio source equipment in one universal learning remote. The RC2 remote control shipped with the

Essentia package is the perfect tool for teaching learning remotes functions of the Essentia keypads. This puts

complete control of your NuVo system in the palm of your hand.

Quick Start Guide

Your Essentia Audio Distribution System is quick and easy to install. This guide outlines the necessary steps for

an accurate and successful installation, and years of audio enjoyment.

Step 1:

Check your package for all of the components. Your box should contain the following items:

1 NV-E6DMS 6-source, 6-zone digital audio distribution amplifier

6 NV-E6DKPC keypads, with 1 bag of preprinted source buttons, ivory, and almond

replacement keypad inserts for each

1 NV-RC2 remote control with batteries

1 NV-NEC 10 foot network cable

1 NV-E6DEZP EZ Port connection hub

6 NV-VEC IR emitters

1 AC power cord

1 Installation manual

Step 2:

Place the Essentia amplifier in its preferred location. The Essentia amplifier is designed to be located in the cen-

tral media area where the home’s audio sources will be housed.

Step 3:

The Essentia amplifier should be turned on before any other cables are plugged in. This activates internal pro-

tective circuitry. Once the Essentia amplifier is turned on, it should be left on.

Step 4:

When the amplifier is in its location and turned on, the audio sources can be connected using stereo RCA cables.

These cables connect the left and right channels from the audio output of the source equipment to the appropri-

ate source input on the Essentia amplifier. The IR (infrared) emitters should be plugged into the IR outputs on

the back of the amplifier and attached to the IR window of the corresponding source equipment.

Step 5:

Each of the Cat-5 cables from the zones should be crimped with an RJ-45 connector using 568A or 568B wiring

(see page for Cat-5 crimping instructions). Test each Cat-5 connection using a cable tester before proceeding

with the installation. Each cable plugs into one of the RJ-45 connection jacks on the back of the supplied EZ Port.

It is important for future reference to label each cat-5 cable for its appropriate listening zone. The order in which

they are plugged into the EZ Port is irrelevant to the system’s operation.

Step 6:

Install the EZ Port in a standard dual gang low voltage bracket. We recommend the Carlon SC100R "Old Work

Bracket", or the SC100A "New Construction Bracket". These are designed for low voltage electronics and have an

open back for easy access to the back of the EZ Port.

Step 7:

Connect the provided pre-terminated network Cable in the RJ-45 connection jack on the front of the EZ Port and

in the Network Connection on the back of the Essentia amplifier.

Step 8:

Each zone is easily set using the DIP switches located on the back of the keypad. Switches 1-4 are used to set a

unique address for each zone and are noted with a "1" indicating the down position of the switch and a "O" indi-

cating the up position. Refer to the chart on the back of the keypad for the correct switch position for each zone.

Page 17 provides a visual reference of all of the available switch settings.

Step 9:

Switches 5, 6, & 7 are used to adjust the amount of bass and treble response in each zone. There are eight possi-

ble settings. The choices are a bass and treble boost, two levels of bass boost, two levels of treble boost, bass cut,

treble cut, or flat. The positions for these settings are also shown as "1" for down and "O" for up and are shown on

page 18.

Step 10:

Switch 8 allows multiple zones to share the same source. This is useful for large living spaces such as a kitchen,

breakfast nook, and dinning room where there are no walls defining each room. When switch 8 is in the up "O"

position, all keypads with the same setting will then always turn on at the same source. This does, however,

allow individual volume and on/off control. This setting is shown on page 18.

Step 11:

Switch 9 sets the volume level when the zone is turned on. The choices are to have the zone turn on at the same

level it was at when it was previously turned off (switch 9 in the down "1" position), or to turn on at a low volume

level (switch 9 in the up "O" position). This setting is shown on page 19.

Step 12:

Once the desired switch settings have been made for each keypad and they have been installed in their zone loca-

tions, you will be able to turn each zone on and off, control volume, and choose audio sources independently.

These functions can also be done wirelessly using the NuVo RC2 remote control. The built-in IR receiver in each

keypad also allows for direct control of the audio source equipment using that equipment’s remote control or a

universal learning remote control.

Installing Essentia in Your Home

I. Complete Crimping Instructions

for Cat-5 (Fig. 1)

The NuVo audio systems require Cat-5, unshielded,

twisted pair (UTP), for communication between the

keypads and the main amplifier unit. Each end of the

wire is terminated with an RJ45 connector.

The correct wiring scheme for the Cat-5 wire is stan-

dard EIA/TIA 568A, which is the industry standard for

computer networking. Properly terminating the Cat-5

wire is crucial for the operation of the system. It is

very important to use a good quality crimp tool, and

testing each termination with a Cat-5 wire tester will

insure that your system operates flawlessly.

Step-by-Step Crimping Instructions

1. Strip a 2 to 3 inch portion of the insulation, expos-

ing the 4 twisted pairs.

2. Untwist the wires and fan them out individually.

Arrange the wires into the correct color scheme.

Note that each of the wires is either a solid color, or

a white wire with a colored stripe. The colors are

green, orange, blue, and brown. The colors need to

be in the order 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 1/2" in length.

4. While holding the wires flat between your thumb

and forefinger, insert the wires into the RJ45 con-

nector, so each wire 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 Cat-5 insu-

lation. It is necessary that the color scheme be

repeated identically on each end of the wire.

II. Installing the Essentia 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.

The amplifier should be plugged in and the power but-

ton on the front panel should be depressed before pro-

ceeding with the rest of the installation. This activates

the internal protective circuitry of the Essentia

System.

III. Installing the NV-E6DEZP EZ

Port (Fig. 2)

The EZ Port is a multi-connection hub designed to

accept all the Cat-5 wires from the keypads in the sys-

tem. The location of the EZ Port should be determined

by the location of the Essentia amplifier. It is best to

place in the wall behind the amplifier that would be

easily accessible if necessary.

The EZ Port fits easily in any dual-gang size construc-

tion bracket with an open back. These are often

referred to as "mud rings". Simply plug the terminated

Cat-5 wires into any of the sixteen available jacks on

the back of the EZ Port. The order in which the individ-

ual Cat-5 wires is plugged in not important, although it

is strongly recommended that you label the Cat-5 with

the appropriate zone number for future reference.

Once you have plugged the Cat-5 wires into the EZ

Port, screw the EZ Port into its construction bracket

using the supplied mounting screws.

Fig. 2

IV. Connecting the EZ Port to the

Essentia amplifier (Fig. 3)

When the EZ Port is installed in the wall the only part

visible should be the faceplate and a single RJ-45 jack.

The supplied pre-terminated network cable can then be

plugged into the jack on the EZ Port and into the net-

work connection on the back of the Essentia amplifier,

Any Cat-5 cable terminated using 568A or 568B net-

work wiring will suffice should you need a longer con-

nection.

V. Attaching Audio Source

Equipment to the Essentia

Amplifier (Fig. 4)

Each piece of audio source equipment is connected to

the Essentia amplifier with standard stereo RCA

cables. Attach the RCA cable to the corresponding

audio output on the source equipment and to the

desired source input on the back of the Essentia ampli-

fier.

IR commands for the source equipment are transferred

from the Essentia amplifier to the source equipment

via mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied

with your Essentia System. The emitter is plugged

into the corresponding source IR output on the

Essentia and then placed over the IR receiver window

on the source component. The IR outputs are individu-

ally routed to sources 1-6.

The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that

is sent from any of the zones. This is used to connect

the NuVo T3 Tuner to the Essentia System or an IR

blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of

components. This is done by plugging a single mono

1/8" patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the

Direct IR input on the T3.

VII. Expanding Essentia to 12 Zones

(Fig. 6)

Six additional listening zones can be added to the

Essentia System using the Essentia Expander package.

The expansion is easily done using the Source Link

and Digital Link multi-pin outputs on the Essentia

main amplifier.

The necessary cables for this are supplied with the

Expander package. No other connections are necessary

with the exception of the AC power cord and the addi-

tional speaker terminations. The additional Cat-5

wires for the zones 7-12 plug into the EZ Port.

VIII. Installing the Essentia keypads

(Fig. 7)

You are now ready to install the keypads and complete

the Essentia installation. This is easily done using a

series of DIP switches on the back of the keypad. A

chart on the back of the keypad shows each switch’s

function, and the setting options.

See page 17 for instructions on how to properly set the

nine DIP switches on each keypad.

IX. Setting the Zone Address DIP

Switches (Fig. 8)

The first four switches on the keypads are designed to

create a specific binary address identifying each zone

to the amplifier. Setting each zone address is easy, but

it is important to note that each keypad must have its

own unique setting.

Each switch can either be placed in an up or down posi-

tion. The chart on each keypad indicates the switch

position using a "1" for the switch in its down position,

and "0" for the switch in its up position. Thus, the set-

ting for Zone 1 is 1000, or switch #1 in the down posi-

tion and switches #2-4 in the up position.

Once each keypad is set for its zone, you should be able

to control volume, change the source selection, and

turn the zone on or off. The corresponding zone LED

on the face of the amplifier will turn on when the zone

keypad is turned on.

Additional Zone Keypads (Fig. 9)

The four additional addresses labeled 1B,2B,3B, and 4B

are used in zones 1-4 for an additional keypad in each

of those zones.

X. Setting the Preset Zone

Equalization (Fig. 10)

Switches 5,6, and 7 are used to set equalizations for

each zone. These can be used to accommodate for

acoustical variations in each room. The switch settings

allow two levels of bass boost, two levels of treble

boost, or if necessary, bass or treble can be cut. If you

desire, you can leave the sound flat as it is recorded.

XI. Source Grouping (Fig. 11)

Switch 8 is used to set a source group. This is a useful

feature for large open living areas that do not have

defined spaces separated by walls. In these areas it is

not practical to have two or more sources playing at

the same time.

When a keypad has switch 8 in the up position, it will

share the same source selection as any other keypad in

the system that also has switch 8 in the up position.

This allows those zones to all play the same source

when turned on, but still maintain individual volume

control.

XII. Volume Reset (Fig. 12)

Switch 9 controls the volume level when the zone is

turned on. When it is in the down position, the zone

will turn on at its previous volume level. When it is in

the up position, the zone will turn on at a preset low

volume level.

XIII. Parental Lock

A unique feature of the Essentia keypad is the ability

to lock the keypad functions once an audio selection is

made. This is done by pressing the button for the

selected source for approximately four seconds. The

keypad will flash indicating that it is locked. Once it is

locked it will not respond to any button pushes. To

unlock the keypad, simply press and hold the selected

source button again for approximately four seconds.

When the keypad flashes, it is then unlocked and will

then perform any of its functions.

XIII. The NV-RC2 IR Remote Control

(Fig. 13)

The Essentia System comes with the RC2 remote con-

trol. This remote allows wireless control of all of the

keypad functions, as well as the functions of the NuVo

T3 Tuner. The four-backlit buttons at the top of the

remote allow you to choose which device the remote

will control. The numeric keypad is used to choose the

desired audio source, or tuner preset.

The RC2 remote is an ideal tool for teaching the NuVo

System functions to a universal learning remote con-

trol that can then operate the Essentia system as well

as all the individual source functions.

XIV. Changing the Buttons on the

Essentia Keypad (Fig. 14)

The Essentia keypads ship with 36 preprinted inter-

changeable source buttons. This allows you to easily

customize each keypad to match the audio components

being used in the system.

To change the buttons use a small screwdriver to

remove the outer Decora insert. This exposes two inner

plates that hold the buttons in place. Those are also

removed with a small screwdriver, allowing you to

remove and replace the desired source buttons.

Line up the tabs on the replacement buttons with the

corresponding holes in the keypad’s circuit board.

Once the new buttons are in place return the inner

plates and the outer keypad insert.
