Niles RVL-6 Installation & Operation Manual page 33

Line Level Distribution
• The line level audio output of each audio source component (CD player, tape deck, etc.) is connected to the
RVL-6's stereo receiver's inputs and the Home Theater's surround-sound receiver's inputs. In some cases, a
source component's line level audio output is not strong enough to adequately distribute the audio signal to
both the stereo and surround-sound receivers. If so, a Niles ADA-6 line level distribution amplifier (stock#
FG00001) is recommended to buffer the signal.
Speaker Level Distribution
• The stereo receiver's speaker level output is connected to the RVL-6's AMP input.
• Each pair of speakers from a room location are home run to its assigned speaker output on the RVL-6.
• 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 can be automated by incorporating a Niles AC-3 voltage-
activated switched outlet (stock# FG00242). The CONTROL OUT of the RVL-6 is connected to the AC-3's
CONTROL IN. The stereo receiver is connected to the AC-3's SWITCHED outlet.
• The power on and power off of the audio source components can be automated by incorporating an addi-
tional Niles AC-3 voltage-activated switched outlet (stock# FG00242). The CONTROL OUT of the RVL-6 is
wire ORed to a 12V DC wall adapter (Niles stock# XF00009) which is connected to the CONTROL IN of the
AC-3. The 12V DC wall adapter is connected to the SWITCHED outlet of the surround-sound receiver. The
audio source components are connected to the switched outlet of the AC-3 (see Figure 39).
• The stereo receiver and the audio source components must be of the "latching" power type (see page 21).
• If you choose not to incorporate an AC-3 the stereo receiver and audio source components are left on so that
the audio is available at all times.
