CONFIGURA TION 3 – DISTRIBUTING SOURCE-COMPONENT AUDIO AND VIDEO SIGNALS
An AVDA-3 can send video to a maximum of three destinations. If you install three ZR-8630AV units with an
integrated Home Theater Zone (refer to Figure 8), you may connect the cascade output on each AVDA-3 to the
third ZR-8630AV. If a video component has only one composite-video output, look for an S-video or component-
video output (if applicable to the Home Theater). If a video component has two composite-video outlets, connect
one to the Home Theater and the other to an AVDA-3 for distribution to the three ZR-8630AV units. If neither of
those solutions yields suitable results, install two AVDA-3 units per video component.
Important Note: An AVDA-3 is required whenever you share source components with a Home Theater receiv-
er that shorts its audio inputs. (Some Home Theater receivers short their audio inputs when their power is off
or the input is not currently selected.)
