SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
CONFIGURATION 5 – INTEGRATING A HOME THEATER USING AN INTELLICONTROL
®
A Home Theater system controlled by a Niles IntelliControl
®
can be integrated to share source components in
a system with the ZR-8630AV.
Distributing Audio and Video Signals
Connect the audio and video signals for the shared source components to both the ZR-8630AV and the Home
Theater receiver (Figure 8). To make these connections, RCA Y-adapters are acceptable for sharing audio sig-
nals, but sharing video signals requires a Niles AVDA-3 Audio/Video Distribution Amplifier.
Important Note: If the Home Theater Receiver has shorting audio inputs, use a Niles AVDA-3 Distribution
Amplifier in place of the RCA Y-adapters. (For more information, see Configuration 3.)
Shared Source-Component Control
Connect the flasher output from the IntelliControl
®
(Figure 9) to the IR Input of the ZR-8630AV. Now the
IntelliControl, programmed with Niles R-8 Remote IR commands, can automate and control the shared source
components. Teach Niles R-8 IR commands to the IntelliControl using the R-8 Remote. (See Programming
Overview for more details.)
A 12V Sync signal from the Home Theater to the Home Theater Sync Input informs the ZR-8630AV about the
ON/OFF status of the Home Theater, enabling the ZR-8630AV to coordinate control of the shared source com-
ponent's power ON/OFF.
Important Note: When issuing the source component’s actual IR commands from the Home Theater remote
control, all IR commands pass through to all source-component flasher outputs. Identical brand and model
source components cannot operate individually using these commands. (For more information on controlling
identical brand and model source components, refer to the Operation Overview on page 34.)
