    Source Connections Shared Source Inputs Any source that is desired to be shared throughout the system will connect to one of the 9 A/V Source Inputs. Nine sources may be "shared" throughout any zone in the entire system. Internal tuners in the CT receiver products do not utilize an input.
  • Page 21: Digital Audio Connection

    Buffered Outputs Buffered Outputs Line level, impedance matched, (buffered) outputs are provided in order to pass source signals from one unit to another. Each of the 9 shared A/V inputs has a buffered output. These outputs are buffered in order to minimize signal degradation as the signal passes from unit to unit in series.

    Zone Line Outputs Connecting an External Amplifier Zone line outputs are used to run the audio and/or video into each zone. Line level audio outputs are sup- plied for each zone in order to provide a means for external amplification in any zone. These line outputs may be configured for either fixed at line level or variable to match the volume level of the receiver (See Below).

  • Page 45: Code-Set Description And Overview

    Code-Set Description and Overview Code-Set Description and Overview B & K uses discrete code-sets to control any audio/video zones. Code-sets range from code 0-0-0 (zero zero zero) to 1-2-8. This is the same practice that satellite manufacturers use so that one remote controller could control three identical satellites.
  • Page 46: Groups With Mono Zones

    Groups with Mono Zones When a zone is split to mono, two columns of check boxes appear representing the right and left channel of the split zone. Splitting a zone to mono allows independent ability to control power and volume on each side of the zone.
  • Page 47: Sub-Zoning

    Sub-Zoning Splitting a Zone To Mono Once a zone has been split into mono it has the ability to have a discrete IR Code-Set assigned to it and therefore the user is given the capability to control volume, mute, and power in the split zone independently. For more information on Code-Sets, see Page 38.
