Tracking Mode Diagram 3:
Digital AVRs as Zone Amplifiers with Volume Control
In this configuration dedicated AVRs are used. Analog or digital audio may be connected from the 1173BK to the AVR
inputs. Digital output may be either 5.1 surround sound (e.g. zone 1 below), or two channel PCM (e.g. zone 3). IR signals
from each zone are routed to that zone’s AVR to control volume. The 1173BK audio output #1 tracks with the AVAtrix Cat
5 output #1 so that the audio always matches the video at the zone. Address each 1173BK to match the AVAtrix outputs
(see page 4).
