Source Input Panel
to connect a source input panel to a LyncPad within each zone. The source input panel provides standard stereo RCA-type
connections for connecting most audio components such as DVD players, CD players, iPods, TVs, VCRs and even computers.
The source input panel can be located almost anywhere in the zone.
Amplifier Connections (see pages 9-10)
Both variable and fixed stereo line-level outputs are provided on the Lync controller for every zone. In most cases, you will use
the variable outputs to connect the Lync controller to a multi-channel amplifier in order to control the volume level within a zone
from the LyncPad. Use the fixed outputs when you want the volume to be controlled from a separate, more traditional rotary
or slide-type volume control. This is often the case when establishing “sub-zones”. A sub-zone is an area that has indepen
-
dent volume control but that is forced to listen to the source selected by the LyncPad in the primary zone. As an example, you
might have a kitchen and dining area that are located side-by-side. In this case, you will often choose to have the kitchen be
the primary zone with volume controlled by the LyncPad, and the dining area’s volume controlled by a more traditional rotary
or slide-type volume control. Depending on your situation, you may or may not need to add more amplifier channels than that
already provided by the multi-channel amplifier. Please contact HTD for assistance with more complicated setups.
Speaker Connections
Speakers are connected directly to the amplifier using speaker cable. For all behind-the-wall installations, CL3-rated cable is
recommended to comply with most building codes.
Audio Component Connections (see page 13)
Any audio component with a stereo analog RCA-type output can be connected directly to one of the 5 Source Inputs located on
the back of the Lync using RCA-type shielded stereo patch cables (not included).
Trigger Out
Use the trigger output to automatically power up an external device with a low voltage trigger input whenever a LyncPad is pow-
ered on. It is often a good idea to connect the Trigger Out to the Trigger In on the external multi-channel amplifier using a mono
patch cable with 3.5 mm connectors. For your convenience, one is included with the Lync controller. That way, the multi-chan-
nel amplifier will only be powered up when a LyncPad is active. Once all LyncPads have been powered off, the multi-channel
amplifier will return to sleep mode.
