3. Connect Output Zones
The RemoteLink AV three independent output zones, the A/V Zone, which can play video and audio content, and two
Audio Output Zones, which can play audio content only.
A/V Zone
HDMI
The HDMI output allows connection to most modern displays. Because the distance between the player and the
display varies widely from one installation to the next, NO HDMI CABLE IS PROVIDED. AMTC offers a wide variety
of HDMI cables, as well as splitters to allow the HDMI signal to appear on multiple displays and signal boosters to
allow long HDMI cable runs. Contact your Account Executive for more information.
AUDIO OUT
The HDMI signal contains both video and audio. If you need the audio to be heard only on the speaker of your
display, no additional connection is necessary. If you wish to route the audio channel from the A/V Zone to the
amplifier of your overhead sound system, an audio output connector is provided. NOTE: This output is line level (not
amplified), and will not be audible if connected to a speaker without its own amplifier.
Connection to an external amplifier:
Connect the 3.5mm mono male connector of one of the provided 6-ft. audio cables, and the RCA male connector into
an RCA female auxiliary input of the amplifier. If the auxiliary input is a 3.5mm female connector, use the provided
audio adapter to convert the RCA male connector of the provided audio cable to a 3.5mm mono male connector. On
some older amplifiers the
auxiliary input is a 1/4” (6.3mm) mono female connector. In this case, you will need a
different audio adapter to convert the RCA male connector of the provided audio cable to a
1/4” (6.3mm) mono male
connector:
These are available at no charge by contacting AMTC Customer Support. If you are not sure what kind of connectors
you have or require, see illustrations below.
Audio Zone 1/Audio Zone 2
LINE OUT
These outputs are intended for connection to an external amplifier, and will not be audible if connected to a speaker
without its own amplifier. Instructions for connection to an external amplifier are contained in the previous section.
AMP OUT
These outputs are amplified for compatibility with phone system
“music on hold” inputs, and may also be used to
power a small 8 ohm speaker load without needing an amplifier. In order to connect the audio output to a phone
system, the phone system must be capable of playing music/messaging on hold (MOH). Nearly every business
telephone system made in the past 20 years has this capability. The method for connecting the player to the phone
system varies by manufacturer and model. IMPORTANT! If
your phones are not connected to a central “control box”
(a.k.a. KSU, or Key Service Unit), you will need a special adapter to give you MOH capability. Call AMTC Customer
Support for information about this adapter.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE MESSAGING ON HOLD (MOH)
Take the path of least resistance! Your RemoteLink AV player connects to your phone system exactly the same way
as any other music on hold source. If you currently have a radio or
CD/tape player playing on hold, it’s probably
connected with a cable plugged into its headphone output connector. This cable probably has a 3.5mm mono male
connector on the end, which is the type of output connectors used on the RemoteLink AV player. Simply remove this
connector from the radio or CD/tape player headphone connector and plug it into an AMP OUT connector of the
RemoteLink AV player. If the cable from the phone system is plugged into an RCA female connector on the radio or
