Xantech Stereo Amplifier RP41AV User Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
RP41AV  
REMOTE PREAMP  
GENERAL INFORMATION  
The RP41AV, Fig. 1, is a fully functional infrared remote controlled audio/video preamp. Volume, Bass,  
Treble, Balance and Mute functions, in addition to A/V input switching, provide all the functions needed for  
multi-room systems. It features a low noise, low distortion design with high headroom capability, for highest  
audio and baseband video performance.  
The RP41AV has the following features and functions:  
• The model RC68+ (and RC68) handheld programmer (available separately), is the source of all the IR  
(infrared) commands necessary to operate the RP41AV (see Fig. 2). Normally the installer would "teach"  
these commands into a Xantech Learning Remote, Key Pad or other learning device for use by the  
customer.  
• Audio and video signals connected to four separate line level A/V inputs, labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, may be  
accessed in any order by IR commands.  
• Separate Volume (Up/Down), Balance (Left/Right), Bass and Treble controls feature continuous  
adjustment in 2 dB steps, in either direction, all IR controlled.  
• Balance, Bass &Treble controls have a Flat function for instant return to flat response from any previous  
setting.  
• Separate Mute On & Mute Off functions ensure positive mute command execution without knowing  
status. This is helpful in remote rooms when all adjustments are made “blind” without any visual aids for  
status.  
• IR control input port connects to the emitter output of Xantech devices, allowing remote control from  
keypads, IR receivers, connecting blocks, etc.  
• Tone controls allow individual "EQ" of each zone when using multiple RP41AV's in multi-zone installa-  
tions.  
• The space saving “flat pack” design  
allows great flexibility in mounting and  
positioning.

2. OUTPUT jacks. Connect the  
VIDEO output jack to the corresponding Video input jacks of AV receivers, TV monitors, VCRs, etc.  
Connect the AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT output jacks to the corresponding input jacks on a main  
power amplifier. Since these are low-impedance outputs, you may connect up to 5 power amplifiers  
to one RP41AV prodvided such amplifiers have input impedances of 22k Ohms or more. Use "Y"  
connectors or other paralleling means.

15. Treble & Bass "N-Flat" buttons. These buttons, when pressed (identified by a "—" mark), will  
instantly return the treble and bass to their electrical flat settings from any previously adjusted values.  
17. Code Group Numbers. If more than one RP41AV is used in an IR controlled system, or is included  
with other Xantech products that respond to RC68+ commands, different code groups can be  
assigned to avoid mutual interaction.  
NOTE: When shipped from the factory, the RP41AV is set to code group 40. Be sure to set the  
RC68+ to the same code! Refer to the RC68+ instructions for code group setting procedures.  
TYPICAL RP41AV SINGLE ZONE SYSTEM  
The following diagram shows a typical single-zone 4-room system utilizing the RP41AV.  
In this case, you would program the Smart PadTM, plus a learning remote (such as Xantech URC types) with  
the commands from the RC68+ remote, in addition to all the other source component remote commands,  
to operate the entire system from any room. For AC power management, refer to the Model 680-10

A MULTI-ZONE SYSTEM  
The following diagram illustrates a typical Multi-Zone system, using the RP41AV.  
1. For simplicity, only 4 zones are shown ... many more could be added using the Xantech 796-20 Zone  
Expander and more RP41AV's.  
2. Using an RP41AV plus a basic power amplifier for each zone, every room in the house can have  
individual source selection, volume control and room EQ (with the tone controls) at moderate cost.  
3. The audio and video connections from the source components to each RP41AV (not shown), should  
be made through distribution amps (such as the Xantech AV-61) to prevent distortion that may be  
caused by the loading effects of multiple RP41AV's. Refer to the AV-61 Installation Instructions for  
more details.  
4. For AC power management, refer to the 680-10 and Gatekeep-IRTM Installation Instructions.

283M  
BLINK-IR™ MOUSE EMITTER  
DESCRIPTION  
The 283M Blink-IR Mouse Emitter contains a small Infrared LED housed in a miniature, mouse shaped,  
black appearing, injection molded plastic shell. Unlike other emitters, the 283M emits visible red light in  
addition to IR (infrared) control signals when activated by IR commands sent to it by IR receivers or other  
Xantech controllers. The 283M is designed to be installed directly on the IR sensor window of the controlled  
device.

INSTALLATION  
ATTACHING THE EMITTERS TO IR SENSOR WINDOWS  
• Each emitter has a clear adhesive layer on the bottom flat surface of the shell. The rounded side faces  
the user and emits visible red light when a command is sent (Fig. 2).  
• Simply peel off the adhesive cover and affix the emitter to the center of the IR sensor window on the  
controlled component's front panel.

• Double-sided adhesive tape is included. If you move the emitter to a different component, use this tape  
to replace the current adhesive layer for best adhesion.
