INSTALLATION MANUAL

NOTE:

If the Z•880 Video

Controller is being

serially controlled,

there is no need to

make the IR

connections to it.

Only the VIA!dj

would need to

respond to IR

commands from the

ELAN controller.

specific IR output port that corresponds to the audio input the dj-S is connected to on any

ELAN multi-room controller.

4-Output VIA!dj:

The 4-output VIA!dj responds to four distinct sets of IR codes – one set for each of the four out-

puts. This facilitates independent control of all four outputs from just one IR emitter or via the IR

input jack on the back of the unit. This connection varies, however, depending on the ELAN

multi-room controller you are using.

System12 (S12) connections

The S12 provides the convenience of routing multiple source IR signals through one IR

output port. For instance, if the dj is connected to S12 audio inputs 1-4, the IR signals for

sources 2, 3, & 4 can all be routed to IR output port 1. An IR emitter, or 3.5mm intercon-

nect cable, from S12 IR port 1 to the VIA!dj would be the only connection required for full

control of the dj's 4 outputs. The routing of IR outputs is easily done in VIA!TOOLS setup

software. This capability frees up the S12's IR 'ALL' ports for the control of other non-sys-

tem devices.

If desired, the S12's IR 'ALL' port can be used to control the 4-output VIA!dj in single-

chassis S12 systems only. IN A MULTI-CHASSIS S12 SYSTEM, DO NOT USE THE

S12'S IR 'ALL' PORT TO CONTROL THE VIA!DJ, AS THE 'ALL' PORT IS SPECIFIC TO

EACH CHASSIS. THIS WILL RESULT IN VIA!DJ CONTROL FROM SOME ZONES, BUT

NOT FROM ALL ZONES.

b. System6 (S6)/Z•880 connections

An ELAN Dual IR Emitter can be plugged into the S6's 'ALL' port, and the emitters placed

over the IR windows of the VIA!dj and the Z•880. Another alternative would be to use a 'Y'

adaptor and two 3.5mm interconnect cables running to the rear panel IR input jacks of

the dj and the Z•880. If using multiple sources that require the use of the S6's 'ALL' port, a

third alternative would be to connect the 'ALL' port to a IR distribution block, such as the

ELAN IRD4 (available Q1, 2005), and use it to distribute IR to the sources.

c. Z•630/Z•800 connection

An ELAN Dual IR Emitter can be plugged into the Z•630's 'ALL' port, and the emitters

placed over the IR windows of the VIA!dj and the Z•880. Another alternative would be to

use a 'Y' adaptor and two 3.5mm interconnect cables running to the rear panel IR input

jacks of the dj and the Z•880. If using multiple sources that require the use of the Z•630's

'ALL' port, a third alternative would be to connect the 'ALL' port to a IR distribution block,

such as the ELAN IRD4 (available Q1, 2005), and use it to distribute IR to the sources.

d. HD System connections

The HD IR card (HDC2060) has two IR 'ALL' ports. Using either miniature IR emitters or

3.5mm interconnect cables, connect one HD 'ALL' port to the VIA!dj, and the other to the

Z•880.
