Non-Identical Shared Sources with a Theater
The following diagram illustrates a CT Receiver and an Theater Receiver sharing a DVD player. Only one
source is illustrated here for simplicity. Use the diagram below to add additional non-identical sources. In this
diagram, RS-232 (CAT5) is being used to integrate the AVR507 into the CT system. If IR communication is
desired instead of RS-232, refer to the previous page for the IR Connection diagram. RS-232 is illustrated
here because it has a less susceptible to outside interference (i.e. plasma, florescent light, etc.). All nine IR
Flashers should be connected from the CT Receiver to the CT-1. Emitters are connected from the Flasher
output(s) to the front panel of the source device(s). Any component video and digital audio signals should be
connected directly to the AVR507 since the CT does not process either type of signal. The buffered outputs
on the CT Receiver pass the analog audio and composite video signals to the AVR507. Also, a CK1.2
Keypad can be used in place of an IR sensor in the home theater room if use of a remote controller is
desired. This example provides full control over both the Main Home Theater zone and the sources used in
the Theater zone.
Using this system example, if a source is not intended to be "shared" with the rest of the house, control of
that source from the keypad is accomplished by simply connecting an emitter from an un-used FLASHER
OUT on the CT-1 to that source. Set the dip switch accordingly, see section below.
DIP Switch Routing
In the diagram above, the DVD is located on INPUT 2 of the CT Receiver. DIP
switch number 2 needs to be switched ON (up) in order for the IR signal to pass from
the theater keypad or IR sensor to the DVD player. Whenever a DIP switch is set to
ON, it is merely allowing IR to pass from either of the Home Theater IR inputs to the
selected Flasher Outputs. Identical sources cannot be shared between a home
theater and a CT Receiver using this connection method.
