Audio Authority Model 1156 and 1166 User Manual 15
Residential Operation
The Model 1166 allows you to select one of up to six video/audio sources to play through your home theater
system. In addition, if you have a whole-house component video distribution system using one or more Model
1176s, the source being displayed at each Wallplate can be controlled by the Model 1166 and, if the Wallplate
location is equipped with an infrared receiver, the source can be selected using an infrared remote control in
the room where the Wallplate is located. If your whole-house video distribution system uses Model 1170, all
Wallplate locations automatically display the same program content as the Main Output of the Model 1166.
Model 9878 Wallplates provide component video, digital audio, and stereo analog audio signal connections.
In Residential mode, the normal screen displays the cus-
tom long name of the selected source, the short names
of all six sources, which of these sources is currently
selected to the Main Output (highlighted short name),
which sources are currently active (overscored short
name), and whether Autoselect
™
is On or Off. Please
ask your professional installer whether you should use AutoSelect
™
or another method of source selection.
The Model 1105 Infrared Remote Control is used to control the Model 1166 and other brands or types of
remote control may have been enabled for this purpose as well.
