Video 3 Rear Panel Connections

Connect a Cable Box, Satellite Receiver or other audio/video
source to the VID 3 A/V Inputs on the M40 Rear Panel as shown in
Diagram 15.
Using a stereo A/V patch cable with gold ends, connect the L&R
line level audio OUT of the Cable Box to L & R VID 3 Audio IN on
the M40. Connect the composite video OUT on the Cable Box to
the VID 3 Video IN on the M40.

Remote IN/OUT Connections

The Remote IN Jack on the M40 Rear Panel allows direct connec-
tion to the Flasher Output of an IR control system. This allows the
M40 to be controlled when hidden in an equipment cabinet or
closet, or from another room. Using the Remote IN Jack elimi-
nates the need for attaching IR Flashers to the front panel of the
M40.
The Remote OUT Jack can be connected to source components,
that are equipped with compatible IR Control Input connections.
This eliminates the need for IR Flashers on these devices.
Diagram 16 shows an application where the M40 Remote IN is
connected to a Proficient IR Control System. In this example an
IR Flasher is used on the DVD Player because it does not have an
IR Control Input. Additional IR Receivers can be added for control
from additional rooms. Additional Flashers can be added to con-
trol additional sources.
Diagram 17 shows an application where the M40 Remote IN is
connected to a Proficient IR Control System. In this case, all of the
sources have compatible IR Control Inputs and are daisy-chained
for IR control without using IR Flashers.
Note: Not all devices that feature IR Control Inputs will be
compatible with the Remote IN/OUT connection on the M40.
IR Control Inputs typically receive IR signals that have had the
carrier stripped but not all will be compatible. In some cases, IR
Flashers will have to be used.
To make M40 Remote IN/OUT Connections:
1. Using a mono mini-mini cable connect the Flasher OUT on a
Proficient IR Router to the Remote IN Jack on the M40 Rear
Panel.
2. If using IR Flashers, connect the Flasher mini plug to a Flash-
er OUT on the IR Router. Attach the Flasher to the device
being controlled, over the IR eye on that device.
(Diagram 16) Add additional Flashers as needed.
3. If using source components that feature IR Control Inputs, using a mono mini-mini cable connect the Remote OUT on the M40
Rear Panel to the IR Remote IN Jack on the device being controlled.
4. To connect additional devices with IR Remote Inputs, connect a mono mini-mini cable to the IR Remote OUT on Source A to
the IR Remote IN on Source B as shown in Diagram 17. Repeat Step 4 as needed.
