INTRODUCTION

The AccessEZ™ series of demonstration system modules provides a plug-in solution for car audio, hi-fi, and video switching systems in retail display environments. This second generation of the highly capable, indus- try-acclaimed Access™ System modules offers many new features and benefits:

•AccessEZ offers a compact module to fit each kind of product, compared with a patchwork of printed circuit boards.

•Modules are protected by attractive and rugged steel covers.

•Gold jacks and terminals are clearly and specifically labeled.

•Expansion, when needed, is done by directly “docking” modules.

•Simplified module addressing.

•New audio switching capabilities include Digital (coax) connections and Optical adapters for Toslink® inputs and outputs.

•Master volume controls offer level presets.

•Touchscreen and Graphical control panels invite user interaction.

•Single product group control panel for sub rooms, speaker displays, or any product category.

All these new AccessEZ features are added to the existing capabilities of the Access System which include:

•Your choice of button-per-product, central control panel/computer touchscreen, IR remote, or any combi- nation of user interface.

•Sophisticated SilenTouch™ interval muting for quiet switching.

•Capacity for hundreds of products.

•Comprehensive control panels with automated demonstration features.

•Single button recall of up to 99 stored system configurations.

All of these features make it EZ to design the demonstration system that fits your specific merchandising needs. Your Account Manager and our Application Engineering staff can assist you in selecting and configur- ing the appropriate AccessEZ modules to build the ideal system for you.

This manual is provided as a framework to help you successfully install your Access System, test its operation, and then use the system to demonstrate and sell your merchandise. This manual covers the proper installa- tion of the switching system hardware only (if your system includes a 902, 903, or 906 Control Panel, or AccessPC touchscreen interface, please refer to the separate User Guide provided with your control panel for operation instructions).

Please read and follow these instructions carefully. If you have any difficulties during the installation, don’t hesitate to call us for assistance! We are always pleased to receive customer calls. We’re open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM, Eastern Time. Also check our website for diagrams and tips: http://www.audioauthority.com.
