Audio Only Zones

The Audio Only zone allows you to play audio. Use the Zone Properties window of an Audio Only zone to edit the following:

  • Audio Output: Configure audio outputs for the zone.

    • Analog Stereo: Check this box to enable audio output via the 3.5mm audio connector (or USB Type C connector on the LS423).

    • HDMI: Check this box to enable audio output via the HDMI® connector. 

      • Pass through: Supplies the un-decoded audio signal through the HDMI connector. Use this option if the zone audio (for example, AC3 Dolby Digital) is being decoded on an external device.

      • Stereo: Supplies the decoded audio signal through the HDMI connector.

    • SPDIF: Check this box to enable audio output via SPDIF.

      • Pass through: Supplies the un-decoded audio signal through the SPDIF connector. Use this option if the zone audio (for example, AC3 Dolby Digital) is being decoded on an external device.

      • Stereo: Supplies the decoded audio signal through the SPDIF connector.

  • Audio Mixing: Choose the mixing of the audio output:

    • Stereo: Outputs both left and right audio signals.

    • Left: Outputs the left audio signal only.

    • Right: Outputs the right audio signal only.

    • Initial Volume: Set the initial volume for audio files (0-100).

  • Minimum Volume: Sets the minimum volume for audio files (0-100).

  • Maximum Volume: Sets the maximum volume for audio files (0-100).

Note

The Maximum Volume setting will be overridden by other volume settings in a presentation, including the Initial Volume setting for the zone and volume commands attached to events or states.
