Basic CT Receiver Expanded System - Up to 18 Stereo Zones
A basic expanded system consists of one, two or three CT Receivers, up to nine shared sources, one CT-1
and one Home Theater product. A basic system can require the use of one CT-1, it allows up to three CT
Receivers (or 18 stereo zones) to communicate with one another while also sharing and communicating with
common sources. The following diagrams depict how a basic system is connected. When connecting
multiple CT Receivers to the CT-1, always connect all nine emitters to insure proper IR routing. When any
zone is using the Dedicated input (IN A, IN B, etc.) or the tuner, IR Out #9 is used.
Each CT Receiver needs to be provided with an emitter attached to the front panel. This emitter allows IR to
be sent
back
to any of the CT Receivers in this system, thus allowing keypads from any CT610/600/310 to
control any or all of these 18 zones.
