CONFIGURATION 3 – INTEGRATING AN IR-CONTROLLED HOME THEATER
An IR-controlled Home Theater receiver/processor can be integrated to share source components in a system
with a Master A4.6Ci.
Distributing Audio Signals
Audio signals for the shared source components are connected to both the A4.6Ci and the Home Theater receiver using
the buffered cascade audio outputs (Figure 9).
Shared Source Component Control
The DATA output from the Home Theater IR repeater (the IRP-2+ in Figure 9) is connected to the IR Input of the Master
A4.6Ci. The Home Theater IR Remote Control is now able to control the shared source components.
A 12V Sync signal is provided from the Home Theater to the Home Theater Sync Input to provide the A4.6Ci with the
On/Off status of the Home Theater. This status enables the A4.6Ci to provide coordinated control of the source compo-
nent's power On/Off.
Important Note: When issuing the source component’s actual IR commands from the Home Theater Remote Control, all
IR commands are passed through to all source-component flasher outputs. Identical brand and model source components
cannot be operated individually using these commands. (For more information on controlling identical brand and model
source components, refer to the Operation Overview on page 28.)
