Using the A0351 Behind a TV or as a Stand Alone System
The A0351 can be mounted behind a wall-mounted TV to power in-wall speakers.
By connecting the audio outputs from the TV to the Optical inputs of theA0351,
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, A0351 volume level can
be adjusted by connecting any of the following: A0129/ A0127/IR-2400 ir keypads
and using a compatible remote such as model A0505. The sub-woofer output on
A0351 can be connected to a powered sub-woofer to add more bass to your
audio system.
