Installation You may wish to consult with a qualified custom electronics installer if you are inexperienced with DVI, HDMI/HDCP, component video connections and compatibility. If you are installing 1170 or 1176, you should be familiar with Cat 5 cable termination tools and techniques. Note: This manual addresses Model 1166 and 1156 generally but also include references to DVI capability which is available only on the 1166. If you are installing a Model 1156, ignore the references to DVI.
Stacking Components This diagram shows the parts and locations for stacking components. The procedure must be performed with the units upside down.
3. Rack Mount Adapters. Do these steps if you are installing this product or a stack of products in a 19-inch equipment rack. a. Remove the cover screws adjacent to the front panel of each product and use them to mount Model 1192 (for Model 1156/66) or Model 1191 (for Model 1170/76) rack adapters. Be sure to place a spacer under the adapters at every screw location. ! b. Use a straightedge to line up rack adapters on a stack of product before tightening the screws.
e. If a source has HDMI output, add an Audio Authority Model 1312 HDMI-to-DVI Converter. f. Connect either, but NOT BOTH optical and coaxial digital audio inputs. Connect all the other signals available from the source unit: DVI, component video and analog audio. g. If a source has HDMI but not DVI output, connect Audio Authority Model 1312 between the source and its DVI and digital audio jacks on the Model 1166.
8. Real-time Setup. If the setups were not downloaded from the Flash Card (page 8), perform desired setups. For convenience, PC setup is recommended for most setup tasks, but all tasks may also be performed using the front panel controls or remote control. To enter the Setup Menu, press and hold the knob, and touch the Menu key (or simply press Menu on the remote).
Troubleshooting If at any time the 1156 or 1166 system fails to respond as expected, use the outline below to find the cause or narrow the possibilities. If your question is not answered in this guide, call Audio Authority Technical Support at 800-322-8346.
Residential Operation The Model 1166 allows you to select one of up to six video/audio sources to play through your home theater system. In addition, if you have a whole-house component video distribution system using one or more Model 1176s, the source being displayed at each Wallplate can be controlled by the Model 1166 and, if the Wallplate location is equipped with an infrared receiver, the source can be selected using an infrared remote control in the room where the Wallplate is located.
Professional Operation The Professional mode is designed to allow easy control of 1176 Wallplate outputs from the Model 1166. Model 9878 Wallplates provide component video, digital audio, and stereo analog audio signal connections. The Professional “default screen” is shown below. It displays the source currently assigned to each Wallplate or zone and allows you to choose a new source for each Wallplate or zone.
1166 Source Input and Main Output Connections Up to six sources may be connected to the Model 1166 or 1156 AutoSelector (1166 shown below). An HDMI source requires a model 1312 HDMI to DVI adapter. All available connections should be made, with the exception of digital audio; only one of the two digital audio connections should be made for each source. (See page 11 for instructions.
1176 Matrix Router Connections Multiple Wallplates may be connected to a Model 1166 with Model 1176 Matrix Routers. A single 1176 has a capacity of six Wallplates. IR signals sent over Cat 5 through the 1176 are then sent through the 1166 and retransmitted on the IR ouput jack. IR signals from the 1105 (or other enabled remotes) are interpreted by the 1176 and affect only the output of the Wallplate originating the IR.
1170 MultiDriver Expander Connections Multiple Wallplates may be connected to a Model 1166 with Model 1170 MultiDrivers. A single 1170 has a capacity of six Wallplates. IR signals sent over Cat 5 and through to the 1170 are then sent through the 1166 and retransmitted on the IR ouput jack. 1105 IR signals from Wallplates connected through the 1170 do not control switching.
Models 1166, 1156, 1170 Using Compatible Infrared1176, Products Service Bulletin: Use Compatible Infrared Products Appendix A Unlike other Audio Authority products, the 1100 series has an active IR pathway, allowing it to power the IR receivers connected to the Wallplates, and drive emitters connected to the 1166. Do not use powered IR systems that are designed to use a separate power source or your equipment could be damaged.
RS-232 Serial Protocol Appendix B Model 1166 and 1156 with or without Model 1176 expanders can be controlled via RS-232 from a PC or dedicated controller. Follow the specifications and command protocol described below.
RS-232 Command Examples The general format of commands is as follows: Definition of output(s) to be acted upon (Unit, Zone, Main, All) Address letter of 1176, when selecting Wallplates Output port number of 1176, when selecting Wallplates Source number to be routed to the Wallplates or the 1156/66 Main Output UC23 Example 1. To route Input 3 to the Main Output of the 1166, send the following command: M3 (The 1166 selects source 3 to its output) Example 2.
Setup Menu Chart Control Wallplates If Model 1176 and Wallplates are installed, this screen is used by the operator in Residential mode to assign Model 1176 outputs.
