RP41AV

REMOTE PREAMP

GENERAL INFORMATION

The RP41AV, Fig. 1, is a fully functional infrared remote controlled audio/video preamp. Volume, Bass, Treble, Balance and Mute functions, in addition to A/V input switching, provide all the functions needed for multi-room systems. It features a low noise, low distortion design with high headroom capability, for highest audio and baseband video performance.

The RP41AV has the following features and functions:

•The model RC68+ (and RC68) handheld programmer (available separately), is the source of all the IR (infrared) commands necessary to operate the RP41AV (see Fig. 2). Normally the installer would "teach" these commands into a Xantech Learning Remote, Key Pad or other learning device for use by the customer.

•Audio and video signals connected to four separate line level A/V inputs, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, may be accessed in any order by IR commands.

•Separate Volume (Up/Down), Balance (Left/Right), Bass and Treble controls feature continuous adjustment in 2 dB steps, in either direction, all IR controlled.

•Balance, Bass &Treble controls have a Flat function for instant return to flat response from any previous setting.

•Separate Mute On & Mute Off functions ensure positive mute command execution without knowing status. This is helpful in remote rooms when all adjustments are made “blind” without any visual aids for status.

•IR control input port connects to the emitter output of Xantech devices, allowing remote control from keypads, IR receivers, connecting blocks, etc.

•Tone controls allow individual "EQ" of each zone when using multiple RP41AV's in multi-zone installa- tions.

•The space saving “flat pack” design allows great flexibility in mounting and positioning.

2.OUTPUT jacks. Connect the

VIDEO output jack to the corresponding Video input jacks of AV receivers, TV monitors, VCRs, etc.

Connect the AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT output jacks to the corresponding input jacks on a main power amplifier. Since these are low-impedance outputs, you may connect up to 5 power amplifiers to one RP41AV prodvided such amplifiers have input impedances of 22k Ohms or more. Use "Y" connectors or other paralleling means.
