Owner’s Manual
Introduction to Lync
At HTD, our goal with whole-house audio is to design and manufacture systems that are performance rich, yet easy to install and
easy to use. With the new Lync™, we make listening to all of the audio components spread throughout your home convenient
and simple. Satellite radio in the dining room, a sporting event in the game room, an iPod in your bedroom, and your music library
everywhere else- regardless of the source, Lync™ makes distributing audio throughout your home an affordable reality.
In addition to 6 centrally located sources, with Lync™ one source (your phone, music player, TV, etc.) can also be plugged in
within every zone for a total of 12 sources available to all zones. Sources are accessed via a LyncPad (keypad) installed in every
zone via Cat5 or Cat6 cable.
Also with Lync™, music is available 24/7. Lync™ includes a built-in MP3 player that is always available with your favorite songs
stored on a USB thumb drive. The MP3 player can be accessed and controlled from every LyncPad.
And if this wasn’t enough, the new Lync™ system includes a full-featured intercom that allows for global and zone-to-zone
calling.
Other systems of this caliber can only be purchased through an installer or dealer. HTD is different. Lync is only sold direct to
consumers by us, the manufacturer. Buying direct not only saves you a lot of money, but it also gives you access to the people
most knowledgeable about this system.
This owner’s manual is designed to get you quickly up and running with your new system. Lync is designed to be simple enough
that once the Cat5 (or Cat6) and speaker cable is in place, installation is a breeze. Should you have any questions, we are
available by phone, toll free 866-HTD-AUDIO (866-483-2834) M-F 8am-6pm, and by email at [email protected].
Quick Setup
For most installations, the following steps will get you up and running quickly. Please read the balance of this owner’s
manual for further explanation as well as additional connection options that help you customize the system to your par-
ticular situation.
1.) Make sure the multi-channel amplier and Lync controller are powered off
2.) Connect all LyncPads to the Lync controller via Cat5 or Cat6 cable that is properly terminated with RJ-45 connectors
3.) Connect all speakers to the multi-channel amplier
4.) Set the multi-channel amplier to Trigger On and connect the trigger cable (short mono 3.5mm patch cable) from
the Trigger Out on the Lync controller to the Trigger In on the multi-channel amplier
5.) Connect stereo RCA patch cables from the Variable Outputs on the Lync controller for each zone to the RCA Line Inputs
on each channel of the multi-channel amplier, i.e. Zone 1 Variable Out to Ch 1 and 2 on the multi-channel amp; Zone 2
Variable Out to Ch 3 and 4; Zone 3 Variable Out to Ch 5 and 6 . . . Zone 6 Variable Out to Ch 11 and 12.
6.) Conrm that all of the “1 2 Line” switches on the multi-channel amplier are set to “Line”
7.) Connect one audio source into the Source 7 Input (Lync6) or Source 13 Input (Lync12) on the back of the Lync controller
and power on this source.
8.) Power on the Lync Controller
9.) Power on the Multi-Channel Amplier (it will be in “sleep” mode until a LyncPad is powered on)
10.) Check the front of the Lync Controller to conrm that the green signal strength indicator light is on for Source 7. Note that this
light intensity will vary with the strength of the source input.
11.) Power on the LyncPad in Zone 1. This will cause the multi-channel amplier to trigger out of sleep mode. Conrm that the
blue light for Zone 1 on the front of the Lync controller is lit. The blue light will be lit whenever a LyncPad in that zone is
powered on.
12.) Go back to the LyncPad and select Source 7 (Lync6) or Source 12 (Lync12) to begin enjoying audio in your home!
NOTE: It is best not to connect and disconnect a LyncPad while the Lync controller is powered on. The Lync
controller will only recognize a LyncPad that is installed when the Lync controller is rst powered on.

Product Features (cont.)
Connect a properly terminated Cat5 or Cat6 cable to either of the two RJ-45 ports on the back of the LyncPad. The “multi-
LyncPad terminator” (included with the LyncPad) can be plugged into the other RJ-45 port or left out. The “terminator” is
only REQUIRED when more than one LyncPad are connected to the same zone. For large zones, it is possible to daisy-
chain up to four LyncPads into the same zone. When doing this, you MUST insert the terminator in the last LyncPad in
order for the 3.5 mm inputs to work properly. Please note that a maximum of 12 LyncPads can be connected to a single
Lync 6 controller; a maximum of 24 LyncPads to the Lync 12.
When connecting more than one LyncPad into the SAME zone, each LyncPad must also have a unique combination of
shorting bars installed. Each LyncPad includes 2 shorting bars already installed- this represents one of the four possible
combinations. Removing only the left shorting bar is a second combination; removing only the right is a third; and removing
both shorting bars is a fourth combination. When more than one LyncPad is installed into the same zone, an adjustment
to any one LyncPad will automatically be “mirrored” by the other LyncPads.

*A room with surround sound (i.e. 5.1 or 7.1) will require a home theater receiver which has its own built-in amplication and multiple source
inputs. For this reason, it is not typically set up as a zone on the whole-house audio system. However, it is possible to connect a zone on the
Lync to output to a stereo input on the home theater receiver. In this arrangement, you use the amps in the home theater receiver to power the
zone (or subzone) instead of using two channels on the multi-channel amplier. It is also possible for sources connected to the home theater
receiver to be shared with the whole-house system. For these two reasons, it is often a good idea to establish your central location in close
proximity to the home theater receiver.

How to Connect
Think of the Lync as the brain of the system. Based on information received from the LyncPads (or PC interface), it determines
what source to play into each zone and the volume level to be sent to the amplier.
LyncPad Connections (see page 8)
The LyncPads are connected to the Lync using Cat5e cable (Cat5, or Cat6 will also work and can be used in place of Cat5e
throughout this manual) with RJ-45 connections at both ends. Up to four LyncPads can be “daisy-chained” together with
Cat5e cable within the same zone, with a maximum of 12 LyncPads for the entire system.
Source Input Panel Connections (see page 8)
Although each LyncPad includes a 3.5mm (1/8”) source input jack on the front for convenience, you may nd it more practical

to connect a source input panel to a LyncPad within each zone. The source input panel provides standard stereo RCA-type
connections for connecting most audio components such as DVD players, CD players, iPods, TVs, VCRs and even computers.
The source input panel can be located almost anywhere in the zone.
Amplier Connections (see pages 9-10)
Both variable and xed stereo line-level outputs are provided on the Lync controller for every zone. In most cases, you will use
the variable outputs to connect the Lync controller to a multi-channel amplier in order to control the volume level within a zone
from the LyncPad. Use the xed outputs when you want the volume to be controlled from a separate, more traditional rotary
or slide-type volume control. This is often the case when establishing “sub-zones”. A sub-zone is an area that has indepen-
dent volume control but that is forced to listen to the source selected by the LyncPad in the primary zone. As an example, you
might have a kitchen and dining area that are located side-by-side. In this case, you will often choose to have the kitchen be
the primary zone with volume controlled by the LyncPad, and the dining area’s volume controlled by a more traditional rotary
or slide-type volume control. Depending on your situation, you may or may not need to add more amplier channels than that
already provided by the multi-channel amplier. Please contact HTD for assistance with more complicated setups.
Speaker Connections
Speakers are connected directly to the amplier using speaker cable. For all behind-the-wall installations, CL3-rated cable is
recommended to comply with most building codes.
Audio Component Connections (see page 13)
Any audio component with a stereo analog RCA-type output can be connected directly to one of the 5 Source Inputs located on
the back of the Lync using RCA-type shielded stereo patch cables (not included).
Trigger Out
Use the trigger output to automatically power up an external device with a low voltage trigger input whenever a LyncPad is pow-
ered on. It is often a good idea to connect the Trigger Out to the Trigger In on the external multi-channel amplier using a mono
patch cable with 3.5 mm connectors. For your convenience, one is included with the Lync controller. That way, the multi-chan-
nel amplier will only be powered up when a LyncPad is active. Once all LyncPads have been powered off, the multi-channel
amplier will return to sleep mode.

How to Connect (CONT.)
Use the Variable Line Outputs on the Lync to connect to the Line Inputs on the ampliers for each zone. We
include six 3’ shielded stereo patch cables with the Lync for this purpose. The diagram above shows the recom-
mended connection to our DMA-1240 12-channel amplier.

Amplier Settings
Two side-by-side amplier channels are used for each zone. One side is set to amplify the Right channel of a stereo
signal and the other side is set to amplify the Left side of a stereo signal. In our diagram, channel 1 is set to amplify the
Right channel and channel 2 is set to amplify the Left channel for the speakers in Zone 1.
Level: Our multi-channel ampliers include separate level knobs for each channel. Turn the rotary Level knob clockwise
to increase the power output of each channel. In most cases, setting this knob around the 2:00 position will achieve the
amplier’s maximum rated power output level. You can articially add gain to a weak line level input signal by turning this
level beyond this point, but in most cases it is not necessary and not recommended. Best Practice: with the Level knob all
the way down (counter-clockwise), set the LyncPad volume level to 60 (max). Next, using a strong input signal (such as
from a DVD player or TV set-top box), have a friend slowly adjust the Level knob(s) up (clockwise) until the volume level
in the zone is as loud as you would ever want it. Leave the Level knob at this setting. This is the most efcient way to
operate your amplier and also prevents a zone from accidentally operating at too loud of volume.
Input Selection Switch: Set to “Line”.
L, L+R, R Switch: When the “Line” input is used, this switch is inactive so the setting is irrelevant. However, you might
want to set odd numbered channels to Right (R) and even channels to Left (L) just to make it easier to recall which Line
Output from the Lync is being sent to each channel.

How to Connect (CONT.)
Use the Variable Line Outputs on the Lync to connect to the Line Inputs on the ampliers for each zone. We

WARNING: The six (6) recessed switches labeled “Bridged” on the back of the multi-channel
amplier are factory pre-set in the left, Non-Bridged position. They are recessed and pre-set for
a very important reason – Because improper use can damage the amplier.
Bridging is NOT used to create a mono signal from a stereo signal. Typical use of the multi-
channel amplier does NOT require Bridging of channels. If Bridging is improperly used, it
could result in permanent damage to the amplier, your volume controls and your speakers.
DO NOT change the Bridge switches without FIRST contacting HTD at 1-866-483-2834 or
[email protected]
Damage resulting from improper use of Bridging may not be covered by the HTD Warranty.
Amplier Settings (cont.)
Bridge Switch: Since you are not bridging the two channels, make sure the Bridge Switch is off
(far left position). See the owner’s manual for the amplier for instructions on bridging adjacent
channels to achieve even higher power when necessary.
Caution: Incorrect use of “Bridging” can cause damage to the amplier. Contact HTD Sup-
port for help with Bridging. (See Box Below)
On - Auto On - Trigger Switch: Setting this switch to “Trigger” is best when using
the Lync with an HTD multi-channel amplier. A mono 3.5mm patch cable should
be connected from the Trigger Out on the Lync to the Trigger In on the multi-chan-
nel amplier. The “trigger” is only active when a LyncPad is powered on which
means the multi-channel amplier is only active when a LyncPad is on. When
all LyncPads are off, the multi-channel amplier will automatically return to sleep
mode.
Lync6 Trigger Connection:
NOTE: MAKE SURE BOTH THE AMPLIFIER AND CONTROLLER ARE “OFF”. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCON-
NECT THIS CABLE WITH THE AMPLIFIER OR CONTROLLER “ON”.
Connect the included 3.5mm mono cable from the Trigger Output on the Lync Controller to the Trigger Input on the
DMA-1240 or DMA-1275 and then set the three position switch next to the trigger input on the amplier to the “Trig-
ger” position.
Lync12 Trigger Connection:
NOTE: MAKE SURE BOTH THE AMPLIFIER AND CONTROLLER ARE “OFF”. DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCON-
NECT THIS CABLE WITH THE AMPLIFIER OR CONTROLLER “ON”.
Connect the included 3.5mm mono cable from the Trigger Output on the Lync Controller to the Trigger Input on the
rst DMA-1240 or DMA-1275. Connect the included 2.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable from the trigger output on the same
DMA-1240 or DMA-1275 amplier to the trigger input on the second DMA-1240 or DMA-1275 amplier. Set the three
position switch next to the trigger input on both ampliers to the “Trigger” position.

How to Connect (CONT’D)
Connecting Sources to the Lync System
Source input locations are conveniently located throughout your home!
Most whole-house audio systems require all of your components to be located in one centralized area. Lync is different!
From any LyncPad, you can choose to listen to audio sources located not only in the central area, but also sources located
throughout your home. This page displays three ways to get audio into the Lync system: A) connect directly to the Lync
controller, B) connect directly to a LyncPad, and C) connect to a LyncPad via an optional Source Input Panel.
A) Control up to six centrally located devices.
In addition to Lync’s built-in MP3 player, you can connect an additional 5 sources directly into the Lync controller. These 5
sources can be controlled via IR pass-through by aiming the source’s remote control (or a common universal remote) at
any LyncPad. This is because an IR eye is built into every LyncPad. IR information is routed only to the source selected
by the LyncPad. This allows you to connect more than one of the same type of source with common IR commands (such
as multiple cable or satellite TV boxes), but only control the one you want. A separate global IR output is included on the
back of the Lync controller allowing you to control up to two centrally located IR components that are not even part of your
whole-house audio system.

13
How to Connect (CONT’D)
B) For extreme convenience connect any device with an analog audio output directly into the LyncPad.
This includes standard headphone outputs. So when your friend says you need to hear a new song she just downloaded to
her phone, just connect her phone with a short patch cable and the phone’s audio is instantly connected to the Lync system
and available to all zones. Stereo audio is digitally transferred to the Lync controller at CD-level quality.

C) Add a source input location anywhere within each zone using the optional source input panels.
When wiring your system, run a 3-conductor cable (or Cat5/6) behind the wall from the LyncPad to a more convenient
source input location. This is usually the best solution for connecting a source more permanently within a zone. While a
zone source can only be controlled from within its own zone, it is available for listening in all zones.

There is also an IR Input on the back of the Lync controller. This allows you to connect a receiving eye (sold separately) for
a room that does not have a LyncPad in it. This is often a nearby room such as a dedicated theater room or family room with
surround sound installed. IR commands received at this eye are ONLY output through the Global IR Output on the back
of the Lync. We provide a dual IR emitter for the Global IR Out so that you can control up to two devices with the separate
IR eye. Choose from three styles.
Every LyncPad has a built-in IR receiving eye. This IR eye is used to control the LyncPad from its remote control AND to
pass IR signals through the Lync controller to other centrally located equipment. The LyncPad’s basic functions- source
selection, volume up/down, power, mute, DND, and the MP3 functions- can all be controlled from the LyncPad’s own remote
control. But the IR eye on the LyncPad serves another very important function as well- it passes IR commands from the
standard 38K frequency band to the Lync and then on to your other centrally located equipment with the use of the included
IR emitters. In other words, you can control a centrally located device simply by pointing the IR remote control for that device
at any LyncPad.

The Lync controller includes 5 Routed IR emmitter outputs and 1 Global IR emitter output. Routed IR means that IR signals
are routed only to the Source currently selected on a LyncPad. This allows you to have two of the same source (such as
two DirecTV or Cable boxes) but only control the one you want. Global IR will output all of the IR signals allowing you to
control a device even if it is not selected on the Lync. The eye on each LyncPad will pass IR signals to the source selected
AND out through the Global IR output. The IR eye connected to the IR IN on the back of the Lync will only pass IR signals
out through the Global IR output.

Connecting IR Emitters to devices
Although the previous diagrams show the IR emitters placed
near the devices that you wish to control, these diagrams are
meant to basically show how the emitters/receiving eyes t into
your whole-house audio setup.
The emitters are packaged along with double sided tape which
allow the emitters to attach directly to the devices you wish to
control. These emitters should be placed directly onto the IR
receiving eye of the devices. The diagrams below show speci-
cally where these IR emitters should be placed.
The IR emitters shown have a ash-back feature built into the
device to visually signal when a command has been “passed
through” the system. This ash-back indicator is located on the
top side of the emitter. The actual emitting eye within the emitter
is located on the bottom portion of the emitter. This is why the
emitters should be attached on top of the device’s receiving eye
that you wish to control.
To Whole-house
Audio Contoller

Use the double-sided tape included with the IR emitter
to attach the emitter to the devices’s IR recieving eye.
This emitter is attached in the appropriate location. The emitter ca-

Now that your system is installed you are ready to begin enjoying the convenience and exibility of the Lync whole-house audio
control system.
Using the LyncPad keypad
The LyncPad is designed to be user-friendly so that it is not intimidating and anyone can use it the rst time.
NOTE: The LyncPad will enter “sleep mode” after apprx 20 seconds of inactivity. To “wake up” the LyncPad, simply press any
button. Once awake, the following functions are ready to be used:
Volume: (two buttons) The top button increases volume and the bottom button decreases volume. The volume level is displayed
on the LCD screen with a range of 0 to 60. This wide range is designed to accommodate audio components of varying xed
output levels. You can press these buttons once for a gradual increase or gain, or press and hold the buttons down for continuous
increase or gain.
Should you discover that one or more of your source components has a lower xed output level than the rest
of your components (as is common with some MP3 players and computers), HTD offers two “gain boosters”
(models LGB-1 and LGB-4) that are extremely helpful in improving the quality of the sound and in balancing all
source levels to a common baseline. Call or email us for more information or check out the whole-house audio
accessories section on our website, www.htd.com.
Source: (two buttons) Use the top and bottom source buttons to scroll through the sources. The Source Name will be displayed
on the LCD screen. HTD can provide free PC software to allow you to rename the Sources to be shown on the LCD screen.
Mute/Power: Press this button to turn the LyncPad on. Once powered on, press the button to mute the speakers in that zone.
When muted, the LCD will ash the word “MUTE”. When a zone is muted, the speakers in that zone are not available for intercom
communication. Press and hold this button for approximately 1 full second to turn off power to the LyncPad (note: if you continue
holding for another 2-3 seconds, all keypads will be powered off- see “ALL OFF” below). When a Lyncpad is powered off, the
speakers in that zone are not available for intercom communication.
All ON/Party Mode: It is possible to turn all of the zones to the same source from any LyncPad. This is called “Party Mode”. Select
a source on the LyncPad. Then press and hold either source button for approximately 3 seconds until the word “Party” is displayed
in the upper left section of the screen. All LyncPads not in DND mode will be powered On (if not already on) and switched to this
source. The volume level in each zone will remain at its previous setting. The volume on the originating LyncPad does not affect
other LyncPads. Simply select a different source on any LyncPad to take that LyncPad out of Party Mode.
All OFF: Starting with a LyncPad that is powered on, press and hold the power button for approximately 1 second to turn the
LyncPad off. Continue holding for another 2 seconds and all LyncPads will power off. Release the power button. Please note that
a LyncPad in DND mode is not affected by the actions of other LyncPads and will not power off when using the All Off function
from another LyncPad.
Do Not Disturb (DND): Press the DND button to put a zone into Do Not Disturb mode. The letters “DND” will appear in the upper
right corner of the LCD display. As the name implies, in this mode a zone is not affected by: intercom, party mode, all off, and
system mute. Press the DND button again to remove a zone from DND mode.
Using the built-in MP3 player: Connecting a USB ash drive (max size 8GB) full of your favorite songs gives you another source
for everyone to enjoy. Songs should be saved in MP3 format. USB hard drives are not supported. See gures below and on next
page.

Using the Remote Control
We provide a simple infrared remote control that has the same functionality (without the intercom feature) as the LyncPad. The
one exception is separate Power and Mute buttons.
Using Your Own Remote Control
You may want to use your own universal or learning remote control to control the LyncPad functions as well as the functions of the
centralized components. To do this, you will need to purchase at least one of our Remote Controls and then follow the instructions
provided with your learning remote control to teach it to control volume, source selection, power, and mute.
Using Hand-Held Audio Components with Variable Output
Mobile or hand-held audio components, such as an MP3 player or iPod®, can easily be connected to a Source Input Panel or
directly to the 3.5mm (1/8”) input jack on the LyncPad using a patch cable with a 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo plug. The “output” on
these devices is often the stereo headphone output jack. This output level is variable, meaning the output level is controlled
by the component’s volume control. It is usually best to set the volume on these devices somewhere between half-way up and
maximum when using them with the Lync system. However, in some cases you will need to reduce this output level in order to
prevent distortion (especially if operating on battery power). Docking stations for these devices usually provide a xed output
level with slightly better sound quality.
Accessing and Using the LyncPad Settings Menu
The LyncPad has the ability for the user to adjust bass, treble, balance, font color, back-
ground color, brightness during operation, and brightness during sleep mode.
All of the above custom settings can be accessed by entering the LyncPad’s “Settings
Menu”. This is easily accomplished by pressing and holding for 7 seconds the DND
button located on the front of the LyncPad. Once the “Settings Menu” has been ac-
cessed, you will able to alter settings on the LyncPad. From within the settings menu,
the Source Buttons on the front of the LyncPad to navigate up and down through each
feature. Select a feature by pressing the DND button. The Volume buttons on the face
of the LyncPad adjust the settings for each feature. To save your settings and return the
LyncPad to its normal operating state, press the Talk button.

How to Use (cont.)
Note: during setup, if no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds, the LyncPad will automatically save your settings and return to
the LyncPad to its normal operating state.
Adjusting Treble:
Once a feature is selected, use the Volume buttons to increase or decrease treble. Use
the DND button to accept changes and return to the previous settings menu.
Adjusting Bass:
Once a feature is selected, use the Volume buttons to increase or decrease bass. Use
the DND button to accept changes and return to the previous settings menu.
Adjusting Balance:
Once a feature is selected, use the Volume buttons to adjust balance left or right. Use
the DND button to accept changes and return to the previous settings menu.
NOTE: Balance, Treble, and Bass will only affect the variable output within its zone.
Adjusting MP3 Mode:
You have the ability to determine whether the Lync MP3 player will continously
loop once it has played all available MP3s or whether the player will stop. This fea-
ture is located within the LyncPad Settings Menu. Within the Settings Menu, use the source buttons on the LyncPad to
navigate to MP3 Mode and use DND to select it. Once you are within the MP3 Mode settings use the volume buttons to
select “ON” or “OFF”. Use the DND button to accept changes and return to the previous menu.
Adjusting Font Color and Background Color:
The background and font color on each LyncPad can be individually adjusted. From
within the Settings Menu, navigate to and select the Panel feature. Within the Panel set-
ting menu (see image at right), use the source buttons to navigate up and down to the
appropriate feature, use the volume buttons to adjust the settings for each feature, and
use the DND button to save and return to the previous menu.
NOTE: it is impossible for the Font and Background Colors to be set to the same color.
Adjusting Operation and Standby Brightness:
Once the “Settings Menu” has been reached, use the source and DND buttons to navigate and select the Panel Menu.
Use the source buttons to navigate to the desired setting. Each setting can be adjusted using the volume button and
set using the DND button or simply by navigating to another feature. The “Brightness of Operation” feature is used to set
the brightness of the LyncPad screen during normal operation mode. The “Brightness of Standby” feature is used to set
the brightness of the LyncPad screen once the Lyncpad has gone into “Standby” mode. Note: Although the Brightness
of Standby only shows 5 available settings there are actually 6. The nal setting being all the way to the left. This setting
actually turns the display screen completely off during Standby mode. Obviously this setting is not available for the Bright-
ness of Operation feature.
Resetting the LyncPad:
The LyncPad can be reset to its factory default settings by navigating to the Panel feature within the settings menu, and
then selecting “ON” next to the RESET option.
