Multiroom Connections

The AVR580 is equipped with multizone capabilities that allow it to send a sepa- rate audio source to the remote zone from the one selected for use in the main room.

Depending on your system’s require- ment, three options are available for audio connection:

Option 1: Use high-quality, shielded audio interconnect cable from the AVR580’s location to the remote room.

In the remote room, connect the intercon- nect cable to a stereo power amplifier. The amplifier will be connected to the room’s speakers. At the AVR580, plug the audio interconnect cables into the Multiroom Audio Output h jacks on the AVR580’s rear panel.

Option 2: Connect the Multiroom Audio Output h jacks on the AVR580 to the inputs of an optional stereo power amplifier. Run high-quality speaker wire from the amplifier to the speakers in the remote room.

Option 3: Taking advantage of the AVR580’s built-in seven-channel amplifier, it is possible to use two of the amplifier channels to power speakers in the remote room. When using this option, you will not be able to use the full 7.1-channel capabilities of the AVR580 in the main listening room, but you will be able to add another listening room without addi- tional external power amplifiers. To use the internal amplifiers to power a remote zone, connect the speakers for the remote room location to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs ª. Before using the remote room, you will need to configure the amplifiers for sur- round operation by changing a setting in the Advanced Select menu, following the instructions shown on page 37.

NOTE: For all options, you may connect an optional IR sensor in the remote room to the AVR580 via an appropriate cable. Connect the sensor’s cable to the Multiroom IR Input d on the AVR580 and use the Zone II remote to control the room volume. Alternatively, you may install an optional volume control

between the output of the amplifiers and the speakers.

RS-232 Connections

The AVR580 includes an RS-232 serial port connection that may be used to con- trol the unit via compatible optional, external keypads or control systems. The physical connection to the AVR580 from the control device is a standard D-9 con- nection, but to ensure compatible and proper operation, specific software com- mands and pin wiring schemes are required. Due to the complexity of RS-232 connections, we recommend that they be made only by trained installers familiar with their use. To obtain additional infor- mation on the use of the AVR580 with RS-232 control, please contact your local JBL distributor.

The AVR580 features a removable power cord that allows wires to be run to a complex installation so that the unit itself need not be installed until it is ready for connection. When all connections described above have been made, con- nect the AC power cord to the

AC Power Cord Jack ‚.

The AVR580 draws significantly more cur- rent than other household devices, such as computers, that use removable power cords. For that reason, it is important that only the cord supplied with the unit, or obtained from your local JBL distributor for use in your area (or a direct replace- ment of identical capacity) be used.

Once the power cord is connected, you are almost ready to enjoy the AVR580’s incredible power and fidelity!
