ENCOMPASS MV2 DEVICE FRONT PANEL
Q: How do I find out what’s playing on the device?
A: The device will display the artist and song title for the current zone by
default. To return to this screen from other menus, press BACK on the front
panel of the device until artist and song title are displayed. Press ENTER
twice to view the music program name. Note: Information displayed on the
device is based on the zone selected. If you are configured with two zones and
want to view what’s playing in a different zone, follow these steps:
1. Press ENTER, and then press DN until “Select Program Menu” is dis-
played. Press ENTER.
2. Press DN to toggle between zones A/B, and then press ENTER.
a. If your music is scheduled via the Control Site, the artist and song title
for the selected zone display on the front panel. Press ENTER twice to
view the music program name.
b. If your music is not scheduled via the Control Site (selectable from the
front panel), the music program name displays on the front panel. Press
ENTER again to view artist and song title.
Q: How do I change the music program from the device?
A: Change your program by following these steps:
1. While the display is showing the artist and song title, press ENTER then
press DN until “Select Program Menu” is displayed. Press ENTER.
2. Press DN to toggle between zones A/B (if you are only configured for 1 zone, se-
lect A), and then press ENTER. The program currently playing in that zone displays.
3. Press DN to scroll through all available programs and press ENTER to select
and save. The display will then default back to the main screen and finish
playing the current song before switching to a newly selected program.
Note: When the device calls in to the Muzak servers for updates, any sched-
ules published in the Control Site will override changes previously made at
the device level. Program selectability at the device level is unavailable while
schedules exist in the Control Site.
ENCOMPASS MV CONTROL SITE
Q: What is the Encompass MV Control Site?
A: The Encompass MV Control Site is the online portal that allows you to
schedule the music and/or messages that play in your business. Using the
Site, you can:
+ Create music and/or message schedules: to play different music and/or
voice messages at different times and/or locations.
+ View programs and playlists: see the music programs you have ordered and
the songs within them
+ View “What’s Playing Now” on your device(s): see what song is playing at
the current time
+ Request a song: request a song be added to one of your programs
+ Block songs: if you’d rather not hear a certain song, block it from playing.
You can unblock, too
+ Upload messages: if you have your own voice spots, upload them to the
site for scheduling; Muzak also provides Voice messaging services
+ Manage groups of devices: if you have more than one device or
location, create and manage schedules for all of them and group
them for efficient scheduling
Q: I have multiple programs but I can’t change them from the device. Why not?
A: If the display returns to artist and song title when you try to change pro-
grams, this would indicate that you have a schedule created in the Control
Site, which disables the ability to change programs from the front panel of the
device. To enable front panel selectability, delete all schedules from the Con-
trol Site and Publish. The next time the device calls in for updates, front panel
selectability will be restored. If this is not the cause, contact Muzak Central
Product Support for assistance.
Q: Will the device still play if I remove the SD card?
A: No, the device requires the SD card to be inserted to play. The content on
the SD card will only play on the Encompass MV2 device. If you lose your SD
card, contact Muzak Central Product Support.
Access to the Encompass MV Control Site is included with your Encompass
MV2 service. To request access, ask the Central Product Support Specialist
when you call to register your device, or email controlsupport@muzak.com.
+ By requesting Control Site access, you accept responsibility for the
scheduling of your music and messaging content.
+ Scheduling options depend on your setup and available content.
+ Standard configuration for receiving updates ensures most accurate display
of “What’s Playing” information
+ If you create music schedules, it is important to ALWAYS have music
scheduled to avoid unwanted silence. To avoid this risk, create a simple
schedule for the remainder of the year. You can update it at any time.
+ Scheduling music disables the selectability of music from the front panel
of the Encompass MV2 device. To allow selectability from the front panel,
delete all schedules in the Control Site.
Q: How quickly will schedule changes I make in the Control Site take effect?
A: For a standard configuration, the device calls out several times per hour
for updates. Download timing depends on your network bandwidth. After
making and saving updates in the Control Site, you must click “Publish” in
the Site to make them available for download to your device. Downloads begin
when your device is allowed to receive file pulls from the internet: changes
made in the Control Site are not instant. Note: Devices call out for updates
several times per hour unless you request a designated start time each day for
receiving downloads, in which case updates will not be available for download
until that designated time.
Q. Do I have to use the Control Site to play my music?
A: No, if you do not wish to use the Control Site, your device will still play and
you can change your music programs from the front panel of your device.
If you wish to use any of the features listed above, you will do so using the
Control Site.
Q: How can I gain access to the Encompass MV Control Site
or request assistance?
A: Ask the Central Product Support Specialist when you call in to register
your device, or email controlsupport@muzak.com. The Encompass MV Con-
trol Site URL is: https://control.muzak.com.
Q: Do I need to install any software on my network of office computers?
A: No, you only need an “always on” Internet connection so the device can
receive updates. To use the Control Site you will need one of these browsers:
Internet Explorer 7 or 8, Firefox 3.6 or Safari 5.
