SYSTEM DESIGN & OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
To best understand system design and operation of the PT8000CH, it is useful
to understand the following terms and features as they relate to the PT8000CH.
Multi-Room
A system design that plays the same source at the same time in all rooms.
If a change is made in one room, the same changes takes place in all other rooms.
For example, if a listener changes from CD to Tuner in the bedroom, the same
change will be heard in the kitchen.
Note: With the use of volume controls or speaker switchers the volume of each
room can be controlled separately of the other rooms.
Multi-Zone
A system design that allows dierent sources to be played in each room. A change
in one room can be made without changing the other rooms. For example the CD
player can be heard in the bedroom while the kitchen is playing the tuner.
Bridging
The combining of 2 channels to create one mono channel. It is useful when more
volume is needed in a particular area.
Source
Component, audio or video, that provides an audio signal. Examples are CD, VCR,
DVD, tape deck and tuner. The source provides the audio information that is
amplied by the PT8000CH.
Channel
A distinct unit of the amplier that provides output to one speaker. On the
PT8000CH the input to each channel can be congured to select from the BUS
INPUT, the AUX INPUT or that channel’s unique CHANNEL INPUT. Two adjacent
channels can be bridged to provide higher power to one speaker.
Level Controls
Allows any of the channels to be adjusted independently to raise or lower the
output of each channel. This may be used to control the speaker output in order
to balance dierent rooms or areas of the system.
