NOTE
:
The speaker level, when switched from the whole-house
system to the TV will not always be the same. If the whole-house
system was set to CD with the volume turned up and the TV gets
turned on to it’s normal listening level, the speaker level might
drop when the system switches to TV. This is normal performance
and the user can adjust whole-house speaker level and TV speaker
level as needed depending upon the source selected and the users
preference.
Using In-Wall Volume Controls
In a whole-house audio distribution system, an in-wall volume
control, such as the Niles VCS100R or MVC100R, can be used
to adjust the speaker level in a given room. There are two
options for using volume controls with the TVA50. Both of
these examples assume use of a multi-channel audio distribu-
tion amplifier such as the Niles SI-1260.
Example1: In-Wall Volume Control With a Variable
Output Device
When switching to a variable output device such as a TV with
the TVA50, the volume control for the whole-house system
should be installed between the whole-house amplifier and
the TVA50. In whole-house mode, the TVA50 will pass the
speaker level output of the whole-house system straight
through to the speakers. A volume control, installed between
the whole-house system and the TVA50, provides speaker level
control of the whole-house sources. (CD, Tuner, etc). When
switched to TV, speaker level can be controlled using the TV
remote control volume commands or the volume Up/Down
controls on the front of the TV.
