AV61

1. Use high quality low-loss cables for all A/V connections.  For runs in excess of 10 feet, use low-loss

RG-6 coax.  Runs in excess of 50 feet are not recommended.

2. AV-61 Distribution Amplifiers, used in zoned systems, prevent loading mismatch on the source

components & audio distortion on music peaks when some zones are turned off while one or more are
still on.  You need one AV-61 for each source, as shown in 

.

3. The distribution amps should have their AC power switched on and off along with the common source

components in zoned systems.  Refer to the Xantech model 680 AC Switcher instructions for details.

4. The A/V Receivers also need AC power management.  Refer to the 680 instructions for details.

5.

 assumes the use of A/V Receivers having base-band video switching capabilities.
