Audio Authority AVAtrix, 1156 and 1166 User Manual      1

Professional Operation

The Professional mode is designed to allow easy control 
of 1176 (AVAtrix) remote Wallplate outputs from the 
Model 1166 or 1156. If your system does not include 
an 1176, use the Residential Mode. Switch between 
Residential and Professional by touching the front panel 
Menu key or by pressing the Zero key on the remote.

The Professional screen displays the source currently 
assigned to each Wallplate or zone and allows you 
to choose a new source for each Wallplate or zone. A 
special zone view is also available for a more detailed 
overview of the sources assigned to each zone. If the 
Wallplate location is equipped with an infrared receiver, 
the source can also be selected using an infrared remote control in the area where the Wallplate is located.

In Professional mode, the Unit screen displays the array of remote outputs (if Model 1176s are present). 
Along the bottom, it displays the six short names of the sources, which of these sources is currently selected 
to the Main Output (highlighted short name), and which sources are currently active (overscored short name). 
To the left it displays the virtual Main, All and Zone keys. Note: to access Main on the remote, double-press 
the Source key.
