Overview: Thank you for choosing the Muzak Encompass MV. Please keep this document for reference
should you have any questions regarding the device. If you have a question that is not addressed in this
document, please contact Muzak Central Product Support at 800 329.1179 (option #2).
The Encompass MV is a powerful device that automatically handles downloading music and messaging
without requiring intervention by a Muzak representative after installation.
Once the device is connected to an active network it will automatically call into the Muzak servers
and download any new content. All content is then stored locally to the SD card that is already installed
in the device.
The equipment set includes:
1. Encompass MV Device
2. SD Card
3. Power Module
4. Network Cable
5. Audio Cable (if applicable)
VERY IMPORTANT!
• The SD card must remain in the device to play
• The device must remain powered on to receive regular content updates
• The device must maintain an active Internet connection to receive regular content updates
NOTE: You will receive a brief intuitive overview of the Encompass MV if installation is performed by a Muzak
Service Technician. For self set-up instructions, please refer to page 2. If after set-up / installation, you have
any questions, please contact Muzak Central Product Support at 800 329.1179 (option #2).

NOTE: Firmware Updates - Periodically, for audio and security enhancements,
the Encompass MV will require firmware updates (in addition to regular con-
tent updates). Firmware updates are made available to the MV device in the
same manner as content updates, during the automatic communications with
Muzak servers. Firmware updates are infrequent, however they will require
the MV device to restart. The restart process takes approximately 30 seconds,
during which time there will be no audio play. After approximately 30 seconds,
audio play will resume.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to
rain or other forms of moisture!
CAUTION: To ensure safety and regulatory compliance, use only the provided
power supply, power and interface cables.
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock due to exposure of blades, do not connect
the polarized plug of the external power supply to an extension cord,
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted.
CAUTION: Make sure that the cable distribution system connecting the LNB
port on the unit is properly grounded to provide protection against surges and
static charge build up.

NOTE: Firmware Updates - Periodically, for audio and security enhancements,
the Encompass MV will require firmware updates (in addition to regular con-
tent updates). Firmware updates are made available to the MV device in the
same manner as content updates, during the automatic communications with

the MV device to restart. The restart process takes approximately 30 seconds,
during which time there will be no audio play. After approximately 30 seconds,
audio play will resume.
