Using the A0360 Behind a TV or as a Stand Alone System
The A0360 can be mounted behind a wall-mounted TV to power in-wall speakers.
By connecting the audio outputs from the TV to the Optical input of the A0360, the
TV’s audio signal will be amplified to the in-wall speakers. If the TV has variable
audio outputs, the sound level will simply be controlled by the TV’s volume
buttons. If the TV only offers a fixed audio output, A0360 volume level can be
adjusted by connecting an IR receiver on the front faceplate or using a compatible
remote such as model A0505. The A0360 can be cascaded to multiple rooms and
controlled in each room or all at once.
