The A0301 is not a standalone device. It must be installed as part of an
audio system which requires the following components:
Required System Components
The A0301 is a universal input module for Channel Vision’s CAT5 A
Systems that can accept audio from any standard L/R line-level audio
source. The attractive decorator style faceplate allows the unit to blend in
with modern light switches and outlets. It can be used to provide local
source input in any room and/or as the main system input device. The
A0301 is a great way to enable simple connection of local sources such
as TV’s, MP3 players, and computer sources into the zone.

A0301 and A0313 can be used as primary system inputs feeding the main
hub or as local input modules in each room to override the primary audio
source. The A0301 is a generic input module which provides a standard
®
L/R RCA input and the A0313 is an iPod docking station.
These local input modules should be installed in the CAT5 line between
the P-2014 and the A0125. Multiple input modules can be installed in one
CAT5 run. If audio is present at more than one input module the unit
closest to A0125 will take priority and be played through the speakers.
In this configuration, either the satellite
radio tuner or the A0301 connected to the
System Input of the P-2014 can act as the
main system input. If audio is present from
both sources, then the Priority switch will
determine which source is heard. In this
example the switch is set to give the A0301
priority.
