Niles RVL-6 Installation & Operation Manual page 24

Line Level Distribution
• The line level audio output of each audio source component (CD player, tape deck, etc.) is connected to the
stereo receiver's inputs.
Speaker Level Distribution
• The receiver's speaker level output is connected to the RVL-6's AMP input.
• All speakers are home run to the RVL-6's SPEAKER outputs so that the impedance protection circuity of the
RVL-6 can accurately match the amplifier's capability.
• The output speaker level of the stereo receiver should be set at the nominal volume setting (the maximum
level ever desired in a single room).
Automating Power Turn-On and Turn-Off
• The power on and power off of the stereo receiver and source components can be automated by incorpo-
rating a Niles AC-3 voltage-activated switched outlet (Niles stock# FG00242). The CONTROL OUT of the
RVL-6 is connected to the AC-3's CONTROL IN. The stereo receiver and source components are connected
to the SWITCHED outlet of the AC-3.
• The stereo receiver and source components must be of the "latching" power type and non-volatile memory
(see page 21).
• If you choose not to incorporate an AC-3 the stereo receiver and source components are left on so that the
audio is available at all times.
Routing IR Data
• IR commands from a room location are home run to its assigned SENSOR input on the RVL-6.
• Niles IR flasher(s) are positioned in front of the IR sensor windows of the stereo receiver and source compo-
nents. The IR flasher(s) are connected to the COMMON FLASHER outputs of the RVL-6.
Programming Learning Remote Controls and IntelliPads
• Learning remotes and IntelliPads in the system are taught the Niles RVL-6 IR commands for ON, OFF, ALL
ON, ALL OFF, VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN. The VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN IR commands
of the RVL-6 replace those of the stereo receiver. Specific programming instructions are covered in the
Operation section (see page 19).
