16 Audio Authority AVAtrix, 1156 and 1166 User Manual
Residential Operation
The Model 1166 or 1156 allows you to select which of up to six video/audio sources to play through your
home theater system. In addition, if you have an AVAtrix, the source being displayed at each Wallplate can
be controlled by the Model 1156/66 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. You may
wish to use Professional mode if your system is an AVAtrix or includes 1176 matrix expanders. To switch
between Residential and Professional, press the MENU key, or the ZERO key on the 1105 remote control.
If your whole-house video distribution system uses Model 1170s, all Wallplate locations automatically display
the same program content as the Main Output of the Model 1156/66. Residential mode is appropriate for this
type of system.
In Residential mode, the normal screen displays the custom long name of the selected source, the six short
names of the sources, which of these sources is cur-
rently selected to the Main Output (highlighted short
name), which sources are currently active (overscored
short name), and whether AutoSelect™ is On or Off.
Ask your professional installer whether you should use
AutoSelect™ or another method of source selection.
