Getting Started • Register your purchase at www.audioauthority.com/register to activate your warranty and for future upgrade notification. Write the serial number from the rear of the 1156 or 1166 on the back of this manual. • Read these instructions. • Unpack the product and its accessories. • Install batteries in the infrared remote control. • Connect associated equipment (see detailed instructions in the Installation Section and Hookup Diagrams).
Other Materials You May Need • • • • • Patch cables (RCA, optical and 3.5mm). Infrared emitters and/or infrared remote control receivers—for Model 9878 IR functionality. Cat 5e/6 cable—for Models 1170 and/or 1176; consider buying a different jacket color for A and B cables. RJ-45 plugs—for Models 1170 and/or 1176; EZ RJ-45 plugs are recommended. Professional network cable tester—for Cat 5 cables; continuity testing is not adequate; the twisted pairs must be properly matched for balanced line transmission.
Panel Descriptions Shown on the page opposite are the front and back views of the 1166. The 1156 is the same, but without DVI connections. Below is a view of the 1105 Infrared Remote Control. Each Model 1166 or 1156 includes one 1105; additional 1105 Remotes may be purchased separately.

Installation You may wish to consult with a qualified custom electronics installer if you are inexperienced with DVI, HDMI/HDCP, component video connections and compatibility. If you are installing 1170 or 1176 (AVAtrix), you should be familiar with Cat 5 cable termination tools, testing and techniques. Note: This manual addresses Model 1166 and 1156 generally but also includes references to DVI capability which is available only on the 1166. If you are installing a Model 1156, ignore the references to DVI.
on the Model 1166 display will indicate that the unit is powered and how many expanders have been recognized. If this number is different from the number actually present, look for the bus not being fully plugged into a unit or a unit incorrectly addressed.
3. Rack Mount Adapters. Do these steps if you are installing this product or a stack of products in a 19-inch equipment rack. a. Remove the cover screws adjacent to the front panel of each product and use them to mount Model 1192 (for Model 1156/66) or Model 1191 (for Model 1170/72/76) rack adapters. Be sure to place a spacer under the adapters at every screw location. ! b. Use a straight-edge to line up rack adapters on a stack of product before tightening the screws.
g. If a source has HDMI but not DVI output, connect Audio Authority Model 1312 between the source and its DVI and digital audio jacks on the Model 1166. h. Connect the television monitor and audio system to the Output jacks, using DVI only, or both DVI and component video ports if desired. Use either optical or coaxial digital audio outputs, but NOT BOTH. Use the analog audio output only if the audio system lacks a digital audio input.
e. If both component video and DVI are connected to the video display, test the display both ways by switching its inputs. Any component video sources should also be shown with the TV in DVI mode. 8. Real-time Setup. If setup configurations were not downloaded from the flash card (page 8), perform desired setup tasks. For convenience, the PC Configuration Utility is recommended for most setup tasks, but all tasks may also be performed using the front panel controls or remote control.
b. Infrared commands returned from a Wallplate to Model 1176 can immediately select the source to be played on that Wallplate. c. 1176: IR commands returned from a Wallplate to Model 1176 containing code intended for source units or other equipment are repeated through the IR Output jack on the Model 1166. If a compatible infrared control system is in place, and remote sensing of IR inputs from Wallplate locations is desired, patch the IR Output jack to an input of the IR control system.
Customizing the 1156 or 1166 One of the features that sets the Model 1156 or 1166 apart from other products is customization. It is easy to apply your own source names, create zones and apply zone names, lock out certian functions, and add contact information. The easiest way to configure the system is to use the PC Configuration Utility, shown at the right; however, any configuration may be performed via the front panel controls and/or remote control. Refer to the Setup Menu Chart below.
Naming the Sources While naming the sources is not required, source names greatly enhance the usability of your entire system. It is easy to customize your source names using the PC Configuration Utility (shown on the previous page), but the names can also be chosen using the 1166 front panel controls. Each long name can be up to 13 characters, and the short names can be up to 4 characters.
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.
Professional Operation The Professional mode is designed to allow easy control of 1176 (AVAtrix) remote Wallplate outputs from the Model 1166 or 1156. If your system does not include an 1176, use the Residential Mode. Switch between Residential and Professional by touching the front panel Menu key or by pressing the Zero key on the remote. Professional mode in Unit view. Press soft key to change views.
1166 Source Input and Main Output Connections Up to six sources may be connected to the Model 1166 or 1156 AutoSelector (1166 shown below). An HDMI source requires a model 1312 HDMI to DVI adapter. All available connections should be made, with the exception of digital audio; only one of the two digital audio connections should be made for each source. (See page 11 for instructions.
and other 1176 Matrix Router Configurations Multiple Wallplates may be connected to a Model 1166 with Model 1176 Matrix Routers. A single 1176 has a capacity of six Wallplates. IR signals sent over Cat 5 through the 1176 are then sent through the 1166 and retransmitted on the IR ouput jack. IR signals from the 1105 (or other enabled remotes) are interpreted by the 1176 and affect only the output of the Wallplate originating the IR.
1170 MultiDriver Expander Connections Multiple Wallplates may be connected to a Model 1166 with Model 1170 MultiDrivers. A single 1170 has a capacity of six Wallplates. IR signals sent over Cat 5 and through to the 1170 are then sent through the 1166 and retransmitted on the IR ouput jack. 1105 IR signals from Wallplates connected through the 1170 do not control switching.
Appendix A: Using Compatible Infrared Products Unlike other Audio Authority products, the 1100 series has an active, 12 volt IR pathway that allows it to power the IR receivers connected to the Wallplates, and drive emitters connected to the 1156/66. Do not use Unlike other Audio Authority products, the 1100 series has an active IR pathway, allowing it to powered IR systems that are designed to use a separate power source or your equipment could be damaged.
Appendix B: RS-232 Serial Protocol Model 1166 and 1156 with or without Model 1176 expanders can be controlled via RS-232 from a PC or dedicated controller. Follow the specifications and command protocol described below. Guidelines The RS-232 control port on the 1156/66 is fixed at 9600 baud. There is no provision for flow control (XON/XOFF, DTR, etc.).
Any command not in the Exended Command Set which begins with a left bracket [ and ends with a right bracket ] is an invalid command and the 1156/66 responds with the string (ERROR). Response to [?,C,X] : (RA,O1,Im)(RA,O2,Im)(RA,O3,Im)(RA,O4,Im) (RA,O5,Im)(RA,O6,Im)(RB,O1,Im)(RB,O2,Im) (RB,O3,Im)(RB,O4,Im)(RB,O5,Im)(RB,O6,Im) . . . through all devices . . . (M,Im) Power Up, Extended Commands and their Effect on Echo Function On power up, the 1156/66 sends the string (RESET).
