Central Air Conditioning/Heat Pumps:
There are Mitsubishi air conditioning mini-split heads in both the living room and the bedroom. These units are controlled individually by the remotes mounted on the walls of each room (remotes are labeled on the back so they don’t get mixed up). The two units do operate as one system, so the ‘Mode’ must be set the same on both, or they will both default to the last mode set. The temperature control can be set differently so long as both units are set in the same mode. For example, you can run one unit on Cool Mode with the temperature set at 68℉ and one unit on Cool Mode with the temperature set at 71℉ but you cannot run one unit on Cool Mode and one unit on Heat Mode. The Nest Thermostat in the living room is for the building’s gas heating system and should only be used for heating during the winter months.
TVs and Soundbars:
There are Samsung Frame TVs hooked up to Sonos soundbars in both the living room and bedroom.
• There is no cable, all the major streaming apps are available on the TVs.
• The volume on the TVs will always start in silent mode and needs to be turned up when you first start the TVs. TVs will automatically connect to the soundbars for audio output.
• Pressing the power button on the remote once will switch between the TV and ‘Art Mode’; to turn the TV off completely hold the power button for 3 seconds.
• There are Sonos soundbars connected to both TVs and there is a small Sonos speaker on top of the dresser in the hallway you can connect to all via Bluetooth. The soundbars can be used independently of the TVs for music. The soundbars do not turn off with the TVs.
Laundry:
• Please do not overload and do not use any bleach or liquid fabric softeners in the washer.
