Audiovisual reproduction system
First Claim
1. A method of operating an audiovisual reproduction system comprising a central unit controlling a display, a touch screen, and a memory accessible via an operating system, the audiovisual reproduction system being connected to a plurality of different audio zones and being configured to play back digital instances of media to one or more of the zones, the method comprising:
- enabling an operator to access a module in a library of tools and services;
receiving input from an operator indicating whether some of the zones are to be coupled together in accordance with predetermined ratios between volumes output for the coupled zones via the module; and
in response to modification of volumes in any one of the coupled zones, adjusting a sound control circuit to change a volume output for any of the other coupled zones to maintain the predetermined ratios between volumes output for the coupled zones, wherein, when a maximum value of a volume output for any one of the coupled zones is reached, a volume output for any other one of the coupled zones is not increasable.

Abstract
Audiovisual reproduction system comprising a central unit managing a sound control circuit, and a telecommunications modem connected to a distribution network controlled by a host server, through a multitask operating system created around a tools and services library, characterized in that the operating system comprises a function that adjusts the sound control circuit to couple volumes in the various areas in which the loudspeakers in the audiovisual reproduction system are used, this function being accessible through a management mode of the multitask operating system, the coupling maintaining the ratios between the various volumes in each area when the volume in one area is modified.

14. An audiovisual system being connected to a plurality of different audio zones, and being configured to play back digital instances of media to one or more of the zones, the audiovisual system comprising:
-
a central unit controlling a display, a touch screen, a memory accessible via an operating system, and a processor system comprising at least one processor, the processor system being configured to at least; enable an operator to access a module in a library of tools and services; receive input from an operator indicating whether some of the zones are to be coupled together in accordance with predetermined ratios between volumes output for the coupled zones via the module; and in response to modification of volumes in any one of the coupled zones, adjust a sound control circuit to change a volume output for any of the other coupled zones to maintain the predetermined ratios between volumes output for the coupled zones; wherein, when a maximum value of a volume output for any one of the coupled zones is reached, a volume output for any other one of the coupled zones is not increasable. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
