Audio Authority AVAtrix User Manual 21
Operation
The AVAtrix allows you to select the source being played at each Cat 5 wallplate/receiver zone from the head
end, and if the zone location is equipped with an infrared receiver, the source can be selected using an infra-
red remote control at the zone. Two operation screens are available: Residential and Professional. Use Pro-
fessional mode to control the zones from the head end. Use Residential mode if the AVAtrix is visible at the
local zone. To switch between Residential and Professional, press the front panel MENU key, or the DISPLAY
key on the 1105BK remote control.
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 currently selected to the Main Output (highlighted
short name).
The Professional screen displays the source cur-
rently assigned to each zone or group and allows
you to choose a new source for each zone or group.
A special group view is also available for a detailed
overview of the sources assigned to each group.
In Professional mode, the ZONE screen displays
the array of remote outputs. Along the bottom, it dis-
plays the six short names of the sources and which
of these sources is currently selected to the MAIN
(local) output (highlighted short name). To the right it
displays the virtual MAIN, ALL and GRP modes.
In Group View (shown) it is simple to show the cur-
rent source selected for each group. If some TVs in a group have a different source selected (e.g. Living room
above) the AVAtrix places an asterisk by the source name displayed for that group.

trols rotate the knob to move the cursor, press the knob to change directions when appropriate (up/down vs.
