Where does my CD-Changer plug in to the DMC1/DMC3-4 Master Station?
As you look at the front of the unit, tilt the top back, parallel to the floor. You will see three rows of circuit boards. On the top side of the middle board, just left of the center, there is a white "block" with 6 silver pins facing you, pointing directly at you, set about 1" in from the edge of the board.

How does an intercom system work?
In general, a residential intercom has two normal functions, (1) To page another person for short information conversations. For instance, "John you are wanted on the phone." "Okay, I'll be right there." (2) Monitoring a room to make it easier to move around the home and still be able to monitor the activities in that room. More advanced systems have become popular as a result of added features such as music distribution, door chimes, more versatility and better overall performance.
I have an older model intercom system. Can I replace just the master unit and keep my room stations?
No. Technology has changed so much through the years that older speakers simply cannot function with the more advanced technology of today's master units.
Can I monitor from my intercom?
Yes. All M&S intercom systems have monitoring capability. M&S intercom systems can monitor one room into the rest of the house, or the rest of the house into one room, or any combination in between.
Can I talk from room to room?
Yes, but keep in mind that most residential systems are "all call" systems (i.e. when you speak into one speaker your voice travels to all other speakers that are turned "on" throughout the home).
Can I select which rooms hear the radio?
Yes, for the dmc1 and dmc3-4. The dmc1 and dmc3-4 have room control switches that enable you to select various functions for each remote speaker. On those systems without individual room control switches, you simply turn the volume control on the desired speaker from full volume to "zero."
Can I change the radio stations from my room speakers?
Yes. There are a couple of different ways to change radio stations from room speakers. With any M&S system that allows for the use of "Remote Scan" (RS) speakers (MC302, MC602, MC702, MC960), radio stations can be changed from the individual room stations. In fact, it's as simple as pressing the "scan" button. A second method is to use an RF Remote Control. This works like the transmitter of your garage door opener. If you are within approximately 100 feet of the master unit, you can change the stations by pressing a button on the hand-held transmitter.
Is an intercom-only system available?
Yes. The DMC-10 is an intercom-only system.
