B&K CT300.3 Getting Started Manual

Warning: Do NOT plug the AC power cord into the unit until connections are completed
Step 1
Unpacking the Unit
Note: The manual and other pertinent documentation can be located on the CD that comes with the CT Receivers.

Connect all Sources

Step 3

Connect the analog audio and composite video from all sources into IN 1 through IN 9 if the sources are to be shared
throughout all zones in the CT Receiver (shown below). Dedicated inputs are labeled as In A, In B, etc. When connect-
ing a source that is only being used for a specific zone, connect the source into the dedicated input for that zone.
IE. Dedicated source for Zone A would be connected to In A (not shown).
CT Receiver Source Inputs
IR routing can also be accomplished in the CT Receiver. There are 9 IR flasher outputs for source control and also an IR In, IR pass
and All IR Out for additional IR routing through the CT Receiver. Please see the CT receiver manual for more information.
Connect all speakers
Step 4
If using the internal amplifier channels, connect the speaker wires into the phoenix adapters for each zone. If using
an external amplifier, connect the analog pre-outs for that zone to an external amplifier. A control output is also
available to trigger the amplifier if necessary. Please see the manual for additional information.
Observe polarity when connecting speakers

Step 5
Connect all monitors using the composite Zone Line outputs.
Keypad Connections
Step 6
The CK 1.2 and CK 1.1 keypads connect with a straight through CAT-5 cable to the Zone Control I/O ports on the back of the CT.
The wiring diagrams are located on the back panel of the CT Receiver for the CT connections and the side of the keypad for the
keypad connections.
Step 7
Connecting Multiple CT Receivers
To connect multiple CT Receivers, the Source In/Out (Buffered Signal) and Link In/Out would be used. The Buffered
In/Out connections would carry audio and video signal between multiple CT Receivers. The Link In/Out connections
would carry communication between the CT Receivers. All source pieces would connect to the first CT Receiver and
then the signal would go from Buffered out on that receiver using a straight through CAT-5 cable to the Buffered In on
the second receiver. The Link Out on the first CT Receiver would go into the Link In on the second receiver and all IR
flashers would be connected to the first receiver. For more information please see the CT 600.3/600.1/300.3 manual.
When using the
preouts Zones
A,B and C have
a fixed output
and Zones D, E
and F have a
variable output.
