CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Connecting Input Devices in Stereo Mode
Stereo input devices use both input channels (left and right) for each Zone.
• Odd
-numbered channels (with white connectors) should be used to
connect to the left output on the source device.
• Even
-numbered channels (with red connectors) should be used to connect
to the right output on the source device.
The CP-16i supports up to eight stereo input devices, each one associated with
an input Zone (1-8). Note that each Zone represents a stereo pair. For example,
Zone 1 consists of CH1 (left channel) and Ch2 (right channel).
There is a direct correlation between the audio inputs and the speaker outputs.
For example, a stereo device connected to the Zone 1 inputs (CH1 and CH2)
will output on the CH1 (left) and CH2 (right) speaker outputs:
NOTE:
When connecting stereo input devices, verify that the Stereo/Bridge
(SE/BTL) mode switch for the Zone is set to “SE”. This is the default factory
setting.
Connecting Input Devices in Bridge Mode
In Bridge Mode, input devices connect to the left input channels only. Note that
left input connectors are white, and are the odd-numbered channels (CH1, 3, 5,
7, 9, 11, 13 and 15).
There is a direct correlation between the audio inputs and the speaker outputs.
For example, a bridged device connected to the Channel 1 input (CH1) will
output on the CH1 (left) and CH2 (right) speaker outputs:
NOTE:
When connecting bridged input devices, verify that the Stereo/Bridge
(SE/BTL) mode switch for the Zone is set to “BTL” as shown above
