3. Connections

The DH46X is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depend- ing on the system design, these components may include:

•DH44 Main Digital Audio Router w/Integrated Source Inputs

•DHTP1 Amplified Touch Pads - at least one per zone required

•DHSIP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local source is desired

•ATON Storm Series Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers

•ATON IR Emitters and accessories

This section describes the connectivity between these various components and the source audio components that comprise the system. Each DH44/DH46X system is unique, and not all connections will be made in every installation.

Important Safety Note: Make sure that the DH46X is powered OFF be- fore making any connections.

Source Loop Inputs (SOURCE LOOP IN)

The Source Loop Inputs are used primarily when adding DH46X Routers to a DH44 in order to create more than four zones. These connectors carry Audio, and IR information between the units and allow seamless functionality in all areas of the home with no complicated cross-wir- ing, splicing or specialized adapters needed. When adding a DH46X Router to a DH44 system, simply connect Cat-5 Patch Cables (included with the DH46X) from the SOURCE LOOP OUTs of the DH44 to the SOURCE LOOP INs of the DH46X as shown in Figure 3-1. Complete connec- tions for expanded systems are described in the section entitled Multi-Chassis Connections.
