DLA2RF 2 Room Speaker Selector 2. System Design Overview There are three typical system applications when installing the DLA2RF: 1. Standard A/V or Stereo Receiver 2. Zone 2 Output of an A/V Receiver 3. External Amplifi er Standard Audio/Video or Stereo Receiver Most A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have two sets of Main Speaker Outputs (typically labelled “A” and “B”. While it is certainly possible to connect the DLA2RF to the “A” outputs, it is much more useful to connect the “A” outputs t

DLA2RF 2 Room Speaker Selector Zone 2 Output of an A/V or Stereo Receiver Certain A/V Receivers and Stereo Receivers have a Zone 2 feature that allows them to play a seperate source to a second zone. Figure 2-2 shows the Zone 2 speaker outputs of an A/V receiver connected to to the AMPLIFIER INPUT of the DLA2RF. Like the previous example, a pair of speakers are connected to the DLA2RF’s Room 1 Speaker Outputs, while an additional pair of speakers is connected to the Room 2 Speaker Outputs.

DLA2RF 2 Room Speaker Selector External Amplifi er Some systems utilize an external amplifi er for speakers that are connected to the DLA2RF. In A/V receiver or stereo receiver applications, a line-level output (Tape Loop, Monitor Out, etc.) is connected to the external amplifi er (See Figure 2-3). In a Pre-Amp/Processor-based system, the Pre-Amp is connected to the external amplifi er as shown in Figure 2-4. RF PS3 Base POWER SUPPLY DLA2RF AMPLIFIER IR EMITTER PATENT OUTPUTS INPUT PENDING ATO

DLA2RF 2 Room Speaker Selector 3. Connections AMPLIFIER INPUT Use 16 AWG stranded copper speaker wire to connect from a speaker level output of an A/V receiver, stereo receiver, or amplifer. Turn power for the output device OFF before making con- nections. To make connections: 1. Cut the ends of the wire to length, allowing some free play (about 6 inches of slack) to allow for movement when physically connecting the wire. 2. Using wire strippers, remove 3/8 inch of insulation, then twist

DLA2RF 2 Room Speaker Selector Important Note: Speaker Impedance must match receiver/amplifi er impedance rating! If the receiver/amplifi er is rated at 8 Ohms minimum impedance, 8 Ohm speakers must be used. If the receiver/amplifi er is rated at 4 Ohms minimum impedance, 4 Ohm speakers may be used. DO NOT use speakers rated BELOW 8 Ohms with an amplifi er rated at 8 Ohms minimum impedance! It is permissable to use higher rated speakers with a lower impedance-rated amplifi er (Example: 8 Oh
