Page 14: System Expansion-Stereo
System Expansion-Stereo ELAN Engineers had flexibility and system expansion in mind when they designed the D400. To add additional stereo rooms or zones to a basic sys- tem, simply add an another D400. To expand zones or subzones to include additional channels of amplification, use the Loop Outputs to send audio to additional D400s or other amplifiers. -
Page 15: System Expansion-Mono
To add additional mono rooms or zones to a basic system, simply add an another D400. Use RCA "Y" cables to combine an audio source's signal to the inputs of D400 #1. Use a mono RCA cable to send that signal to additional amplifiers as shown below. -
