3 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER INTRODUCTION A common challenge in designing whole-house audio/video distribution systems is allowing a local source, such as audio from a bedroom TV , to play through the main system speakers in that room.

11 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER INST ALLA TION CONSIDERA TIONS Location The TV A50 should be installed near the device to be switched, ideally within 15 feet, to avoid signal loss and degradation over long runs of wire. Access to the speaker wires, from the whole- house system and to the local speakers, is also necessary .
12 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER Speakers The TV A50 will remain stable when driving a 4 ohm load. If only one pair of speakers is being driven, 4, 6 or 8 ohm speakers systems can be used. If switching two pairs, 8 ohm speakers must be used.
13 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER INST ALLA TION Preparing for Installation 1. Figure 3 shows a typical application for switching one pair of speakers to a local source using current sensing. Refer to the other system applications for switching multiple speak- er pairs, and use of the T rigger IN/OUT .
14 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER 3. Gradually turn the sensitivity adjustment screw located on the bottom of the TV A50 (Figure 6) until you hear the inter- nal relay of TV A50 switch. This is indicated by a clicking sound inside the unit.
15 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER Installation Caution : T urn the power OFF to all components in the system to prevent accidental shorting or electrical shock. Mounting the TV A50 When possible, the TV A50 should be installed near the device to be switched.
16 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER Connect Whole-House System 1. Locate the 4 pin speaker connector plug for SPEAKER A IN (and remove if plugged in). 2 . Strip 1/4" of insulation from the end of each wire for SPEAKER A IN, coming from the speaker level output of the whole-house system amplifier .
17 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER 3. Use a small flathead screwdriver or your thumbnail to raise the locking tabs, exposing the holes on the removable con- nector plug. 4. Insert each wire into the appropriate hole on the remov- able connector plug, and snap the locking tab down.
NOTE: Some TVs have separate fixed (non-adjustable) and variable line outs. Some need to be switched using the TV’ s on-screen menu. Refer to the TV manual for additional information. Source Switching The TV A50 has two switching modes. Current Sensing and AC or DC voltage trigger .
19 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER BEFORE PROCEEDING SET THE VOLUME CONTROL ON THE TV A50 TO THE MINIMUM POSITION (FULL Y COUNTERCLOCKWISE). 1. Play a sour ce (CD, T uner) on the whole-house system. Set the volume to a normal listening level.
20 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER NOTE : The speaker level, when switched from the whole-house system to the TV will not always be the same. If the whole-house system was set to CD with the volume turned up and the TV gets turned on to it’ s normal listening level, the speaker level might drop when the system switches to TV .
21 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER Example 2: In-W all V olume Control W ith a Fixed Output Device In some applications, it may be desirable to control speaker level of both the whole-house sources and the TV , or perhaps a local CD or DVD player that might not have a variable output, with the in-wall volume control.
22 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER Integrating a Niles IR repeater system with a TV plugged into the current sensed outlet of a TV A50, and a 12VDC controlled lift mechanism, provides an inexpensive, yet elegant solution to system automation.
23 S TERE O A MPLIFIER / A UT O MA TED S WIT CHER TROUBLESHOOTING TV A50 will not power up Is TV A50 plugged in to an unswitched outlet? Is the POWER/ACTIVE LED Red? 120V AC measured from outlet with voltmeter? T ry another unswitched outlet.
