DH44 4 Source, 4 Zone Digital Audio Router

IR OUT/ALL IR OUT

ATON DHTP1 Amplified Touch Pads feature a built-in IR Receiver that is used to control the sources connected to the DH44 using hand-held remotes. The four IR ports labelled 1-4are Source-Specific. When a particular source is selected in a zone, the corresponding IR port is active and only the selected source receives IR. This allows for same-branded or identical source components to be controlled discreetly from one location without confl ict. The ALL IR PORT is constantly active and passes IR information regardless of the source selected. This is useful for sources that may need control no matter which source is active, such as an A/V Receiver, or for applications utilizing an expanded IR network including IR Distribution devices such as ATON’s AIB4 Amplified IR Connection Block.

To make IR connections, simply plug a standard 3.5mm IR emitter such as ATON’s AIE2 Talk- back IR Emitter into the desired port. If the source that is to be connected has an IR Input port, a 3.5mm (“mini-to-mini”) interconnect cable can be used instead. See Figure 3-6for details.
