Dedicated Source Inputs (Local)
Dedicated source inputs are used for local sources that are dedicated only to that individual zone. Typically
this feature is appropriate for sources that are physically located in the zone, such as DVD players or satellite
boxes in bedrooms or dens. By running well shielded audio and video cable from the local source back to
the CT Reciever, the user can utilize the auto-sense capability built into these inputs. The CT Reciever will
immediately auto-detect the audio or video signal from a Dedicated input and switch that zone to its dedi-
cated input. This feature is factory default set on, however it can be turned off to add an additional manually
selectable input for that particular zone. Dedicated source inputs are identified on the back panel by the
zone to which they are associated, i.e. IN A, IN B, etc. When sources are auto-detected, built in software
stores the state the zone was in before the Dedicated input detected a signal, this way when the signal is
switched off the zone is returned to its previous state.
Dedicated inputs require a second audio/video home run home from the zone back to the CT Receiver.
Changing Line Level Outputs From Fixed to Variable
An internal jumper is used to change the output between line level fixed or variable. This adjustment is typi-
cally useful when using additional external amplification. Open the chassis and locate the blue jumper on the
audio card for the Zone Line Outputs. The jumpers are in line with each channel on the back panel. The
right position is fixed (F) line level, the left position is variable (V) volume control. When set to variable the
volume level of the output is matched with the volume level of the receiver amplifier output. The jumper has
the ability to change only the left (L) or only the right (R) side of each zone if desired. Note: When these out-
puts are set to fixed, the last used source will continue to transmit audio only regardless of the zone being
powered off. An external volume control is required for this application.
