USING THE S170i

LISTENING IN A REMOTE ZONE (MULTISOURCE)

The S170i can provide stereo, line-level signals to a second room or zone via its rear-panel MULTISOURCE OUT jacks. These jacks may output a source completely independent from (or the same as) the one currently selected at the S170i’s main output jacks, and they enjoy entirely independent volume control. The remote room or zone enjoys independent remote control of signal source and volume, even if the S170i is being operated simultaneously from the primary listening room/ home theater.

NOTE THAT:

This is a line level output, requiring a power amplifier to be attached between the MultiSource output and the loudspeakers in the remote zone.

SELECTING THE MULTISOURCE

From the ZR 2 remote control, select the desired source input. Or from the front panel: Press the

MULTISOURCE key twice; the front-panel readout’s top line will show “Zone: CD” (for example). Then use the VOLUME (SETUP) knob to cycle, bi-directionally, through all nine audio-video or audio-only sources available to the MULTISOURCE OUT jacks; source names appear on the front-panel readout. After five seconds of inactivity, the display and the knob will return to their normal functions.

CONTROLLING MULTISOURCE VOLUME

From the ZR 2 remote, use the [Volume up/down] keys to adjust the volume. Or from the front panel: Press the MULTISOURCE key once; the Then use the VOLUME (SETUP) to adjust the volume. The front- panel readout’s bottom line will show “Z.v: -40” (for example) to indicate the volume setting. After five seconds of inactivity, the display and the knob will return to their normal functions.

NOTE THAT:

The EXT5.1 input is not available to the MULTISOURCE OUT jacks.

A source may be available to the S170i’s main and MultiSource outputs simultaneously

Signals at the MULTISOURCE OUT jacks are always in stereo mode, regardless of the listening mode selected, even for the same source, for the main outputs

MultiSource commands and functions do not appear on the OSD.

It is possible to use the composite-video MON OUT jack to send video to the MultiSource remote room for casual viewing and OSDs, though over long runs a certain amount of video loss must be expected. It is not recommended to use the S-Video monitor output over such long runs.

NAD LINK

NAD Link OUT allows remote control commands to be relayed from the S170i Preamp/Processor to other products equipped with an NAD Link (or compatible) input. It transmits the IR (infra red ) control codes the S170i receives from the HTR 2 remote handset via the front panel IR sensor. The NAD Link creates a “hard wired” connection to another NAD component. The cable format is a standard coaxial cable terminated with RCA Jacks.

This also allows the S170i to receive external control commands from a multi-room controller or remote relay system (or from the NAD Link OUT jack on another NAD product). Commands received will control the S170i and also be relayed to the NAD Link OUT jack. This can be very helpful if you are using the MultiSource feature with a “hard wired” keypad or IR repeater system (such as Xantech, Russound, Niles, etc.) allowing you to control an NAD Link equipped FM Tuner or CD Player, as well as the S170i from the remote location. By “daisy chaining” the NAD Link OUT from one component to the NAD Link IN on another component the signal can be passed along to each component.

NOTE THAT:

If a component receives the same command simultaneously from the front panel IR sensor AND the NAD Link INPUT the microprocessor control system may not recognize the command, resulting in the command being ignored. To prevent this, do not link components that receive the same IR remote command at the same time (as would be the case if two components are placed very close together).
