DH44 4 Source, 4 Zone Digital Audio Router
IR OUT/ALL IR OUT
ATON DHTP1 Amplifi ed Touch Pads feature a built-in IR Receiver that is used to control the
sources connected to the DH44 using hand-held remotes. The four IR ports labelled 1-4 are
Source-Specifi c. When a particular source is selected in a zone, the corresponding IR port
is active and only the selected source receives IR. This allows for same-branded or identical
source components to be controlled discreetly from one location without confl ict. The ALL IR
PORT is constantly active and passes IR information regardless of the source selected. This
is useful for sources that may need control no matter which source is active, such as an A/V
Receiver, or for applications utilizing an expanded IR network including IR Distribution devices
such as ATON’s AIB4 Amplifi ed IR Connection Block.
To make IR connections, simply plug a standard 3.5mm IR emitter such as ATON’s AIE2 Talk-
back IR Emitter into the desired port. If the source that is to be connected has an IR Input port,
a 3.5mm (“mini-to-mini”) interconnect cable can be used instead. See Figure 3-6 for details.

Page/Doorbell Audio and Trigger Input (PG/DB TRIG IN)
When a Page/Doorbell (PG/DB) system is utilized with the DH44, connect the PG/DB Trigger
Output of the PG/DB system to the DH44 as shown below. Connect the PG/DB Audio Output of
the PG/DB system to the Left Analog Audio Input of Source Input 4 of the DH44.

Note: In this application, the Analog Audio Input for Source 4 will not function except for PG/DB. Both
of the Digital Inputs (Coaxial and Optical) will function, however. Make sure to set the COAX/OPT/RCA
switch to correct setting.
