Zone line outputs are used to run the audio and/or video into each zone. Line level audio outputs are sup-
plied for each zone in order to provide a means for external amplification in any zone. These line outputs
may be configured for either fixed at line level or variable to match the volume level of the receiver (See
Below). The Zone Line outputs will not output audio when the zone is off. By factory default on a CT
600.3/600.1, the line outputs for zones A, B and C are set to variable output and zones D,E and F are set to
line level fixed output. By factory default on a CT 300.3, the line outputs for zones A and B are set to line
level fixed output and zone C is set to variable. An external volume control is needed for line level fixed appli-
cations.
Connecting an External Amplifier
An internal jumper is used to change the zone RCA
outputs between line level fixed or variable. This configu-
ration is most beneficial when a zone is to be used with additional external amplification. Open the chassis and
locate the blue jumper on the audio card for the Zone Line Outputs. The jumpers are in line with each channel
on the back panel. The right position is fixed (F) line level, the left position is variable (V) volume control. When
the jumper is set to variable, the volume level of the output will be matched with the volume level of the receiver
amplifier output. The jumper has the ability to change either the left (L) or the right (R) side of each zone if
desired. An external volume control is required for a fixed output application.
