Power the 985DTO from an Audio Authority 571-001 wall pack plugged into a source of 120 volts AC; picture and sound output appears immediately. No adjustments are required. You may also use a 571-013 power supply.

Multi-Amplifier Installation-More than Four Video Displays

Mount the 985DTO modules near the video displays and audio source. Use matched sets of high-quality 75-ohm coaxial video cables to connect the YCbCr or YPbPr outputs of the video source to the Bus Input jacks of the nearest 985DTO. (If composite video is desired instead of component video, see Figure 2.) Connect the audio output of the source to the first 985DTO’s Bus Input using high- quality 75-ohm patch cords and/or optical cable.

Connect the Bus Output jacks of the first 985DTO to the Bus Input jacks of the next 985DTO, and so on. The bus

is automatically terminated correctly in 75 ohms at all times. There is no optical bus output, the Digital Audio Bus is always coaxial.

Connect each video display to one set of 985DTO outputs using matched sets of video patch cords. You may connect the digital audio input of a sound system to either Digital Audio output jack on the 985DTO, or if TV sound is desired, connect the 985DTO left/right stereo outputs to the stereo inputs on each TV.

Power the 985DTO system from an Audio Authority 571- 001 wall pack plugged into a source of 120 volts AC; picture and sound output appears immediately. No adjustments are required. You may also use a 571-013 power supply.
