INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
PANEL DESCRIPTIONS
1. INPUT jacks. Connect to the corre-
sponding output jacks of source
components (satellite receiver, VCR,
camcorder, laser disc player, TV
surveillance camera, CD player, AM/
FM tuner, cassette tape deck, etc.).
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.

RC68+ PROGRAMMER / REMOTE CONTROL
The RC68+ (and the RC68) programmer (available separately) contains all the commands necessary to
operate the RP41AV.
• You will need it to program universal learning devices such as the Xantech URC type learning remote,
the Xantech Smart Pads, the 590 Programmable Controller, the 710 Fone Link, etc., with commands that
operate the RP41AV.
• NOTE: The RC68+ will operate several other Xantech models as well, such as the RS41AV, ZPR68,
MIRV1, RAT1, etc. Therefore, only the button descriptions that apply to the operation of the RP41AV are
listed below. All others should be ignored.
• While the RC68+ will operate as a separate remote control, it is highly recommended it not be given to
the final user for the following reasons:
Since it permits code group changes , the user may inadvertently alter the installer configurations.
• Also, since the user will require IR commands from other brands of equipment to control the total system,
in addition to those of the RP41AV, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device, for
ease of use.
RC68+ BUTTON DESCRIPTIONS
1. IR Emitter Lens
3. INPUT Select buttons. Press buttons 1 through 4 to individually
select up to 4 audio/video sources connected to the RP41AV.
5. VOLUME Up/Down buttons. When pressed, volume will in-
crease and decrease in 2 dB steps between 0 dB and -80 dB.
When buttons are held down, the volume level will change
continuously.
6. MUTE ON / OFF buttons. Separate On / Off buttons give
positive mute commands without knowing what the status is.
This is very helpful in a remote room when all adjustments are
made “blind” without any visual aids for status.
NOTE: Mute is released (turned off) when a VOLUME, INPUT,
BALANCE, BASS or TREBLE button is pressed, in addition to
MUTE OFF.
9. BALANCE buttons. When the BALANCE "arrow" buttons are
pressed, the audio output will move to the left or right in 2 dB
steps with each left or right press. (No change will occur if they
are held down continuously).
10. Balance "Center" button. This button, when pressed (identified by "C_BAL"), will instantly return
the balance to the center position from any previous setting.
14. TREBLE & BASS control buttons. When the "arrow" buttons are pressed, the treble and bass
response can be increased or decreased from 0 dB to ± 12 dB in 2 dB steps with each up or down press.
(No change will occur if they are held down continuously). In "multi-zone" systems, you can use these
controls to "EQ" (equalize) the sound for each room's acoustic differences.

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 Pad
TM
, 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-IR

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• In some cases it may be difficult to find the location of the IR sensor on the component. Consult the owner's
manual of the unit, or the manufacturer, for the exact IR sensor window location.
• 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.
• The shell, though dark in appearance, is transparent to infrared light, allowing commands from a handheld
remote control to pass through it. This permits direct control of the equipment from a handheld remote as
well as from the 283M.
