ANTENNA CONNECTIONS

The FM jack is a standard screw on F-type
connector. The AM is a push type. Strip ¼ inch of
insulation off your AM antenna wires and insert one
wire end into each hole while holding the tabs
down. Release the tabs to lock in the AM antenna
wires.

CONTROL OUTPUTS / IR INPUTS

Control Outputs - These connections are used for
controlling other equipment such as an external B&K
Components, Ltd. amplifier, projection screen, etc.
Connect your control cable to the A/V System
Controller using a mono 3.5 mm jack shown at left.
The plug must be wired as tip (+) and the long barrel
section (-).

The Control outputs are programmable for each source in your system (see “Advanced Setup”).

However, the A/V

System Controller provides the following factory preprogrammed setup that should serve for most standard
system applications.

Control 1 - HEADPHONE - On (+12 VDC) when zone 1 is on and not in Headphone mode, off when zone 1 is off
or in Headphone Mode. This mode may be used for controlling external amplifiers or powered subwoofers in zone
1.

Control 2 - ZONE 2. On (+12 VDC) when zone 2 is on, off (0 VDC) when zone 2 is off. This mode is used for
controlling external amplifiers, projection screens, etc. in zone 2.

Control 3 - Z1 + Z2. On (+12 VDC) when zone 1, zone 2, or both zones are turned on. Off (0 VDC) when both
zones are off.

Control 4 -REMOTE. It will repeat a received 38 kHz modulated IR signal. The A/V System Controller will transmit
received IR signals even in sleep mode.

Note - The control outputs can output a maximum of 50 mA. Check to see that the source you are connecting to
the control out requires 50 mA or less current.

WARNING - Not all manufacturers adhere to the +12 VDC control specification. Check to see if your
sources control inputs are +12 VDC compatible. Do not connect your A/V System Controller’s control
outputs to a source with control or remote inputs rated at +5 VDC or other voltage rating. Damage to your
source may result.

IR Inputs - Your A/V System Controller can be controlled by a directly connected IR repeater system in
combination with or in place of the supplied remote control. Connect your IR input cable to the A/V System
Controller using a mono 3.5 mm jack shown above. The plug must be wired as tip (+) and the long barrel section
(-). The inputs are standard 38kHz modulated IR type with a voltage range of +5 to +12 VDC.
