INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
The RP41AV, Fig. 1, is a fully functional infrared remote controlled audio/video preamp. Volume, Bass,
Treble, Balance and Mute functions, in addition to A/V input switching, provide all the functions needed for
multi-room systems. It features a low noise, low distortion design with high headroom capability, for highest
audio and baseband video performance.
The RP41AV has the following features and functions:
• The model RC68+ (and RC68) handheld programmer (available separately), is the source of all the IR
(infrared) commands necessary to operate the RP41AV (see Fig. 2). Normally the installer would "teach"
these commands into a Xantech Learning Remote, Key Pad or other learning device for use by the
customer.
• Audio and video signals connected to four separate line level A/V inputs, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, may be
accessed in any order by IR commands.
• Separate Volume (Up/Down), Balance (Left/Right), Bass and Treble controls feature continuous
adjustment in 2 dB steps, in either direction, all IR controlled.
• Balance, Bass &Treble controls have a Flat function for instant return to flat response from any previous
setting.
• Separate Mute On & Mute Off functions ensure positive mute command execution without knowing
status. This is helpful in remote rooms when all adjustments are made “blind” without any visual aids for
status.
• IR control input port connects to the emitter output of Xantech devices, allowing remote control from
keypads, IR receivers, connecting blocks, etc.
• Tone controls allow individual "EQ" of each zone when using multiple RP41AV's in multi-zone installa-
tions.
• The space saving “flat pack” design
allows great flexibility in mounting and
positioning.
PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. INPUT jacks. Connect to the corre-
sponding output jacks of source
components (satellite receiver, VCR,
camcorder, laser disc player, TV
surveillance camera, CD player, AM/
FM tuner, cassette tape deck, etc.).
2. OUTPUT jacks. Connect the
VIDEO output jack to the corresponding Video input jacks of AV receivers, TV monitors, VCRs, etc.
Connect the AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT output jacks to the corresponding input jacks on a main
power amplifier. Since these are low-impedance outputs, you may connect up to 5 power amplifiers
to one RP41AV prodvided such amplifiers have input impedances of 22k Ohms or more. Use "Y"
connectors or other paralleling means.
