The MAP-1200PRE provides 6 x stereo unbalanced line level source inputs
which can be accessed by any zone. Inputs 1~3 provide RCA jacks for
connecting the audio sources with RCA outputs.
Inputs 4 and 5 provide inputs on 3.5mm stereo jacks and input 6 also provides
one Digital Optical input for digital source like TV ARC, DVD and CD players or
cable/ satellite boxes.
Always use good quality shielded RCA cables to connect sources to the
MAP-1200PRE and keep RCA cables as short as possible to avoid RF interfere.

The MAP-1200PRE comes with 6 POE enabled keypads. This allows for source
control from each specific zone as well as IR routing to the appropriate source
devices once selected. The MAP-1200PRE also comes with a hub that allows for
all 6-keypads to be connected to the amp via Cat5e/6.

There are two Infrared (IR) emitter outputs on the rear panel. These outputs are
used to control the connected source components remotely through the
MAP-1200PRE IR system.
For example, connect an IR emitter to IR Emitter output jack of the controller,
and then connect the flasher to the IR receiver window on one of connected
sources. Now you can use the source remote control in any zone and control
your source through the keypads remotely. The keypad should have the
corresponding source selected for the IR to work. Repeat this for another
Infrared (IR) enabled sources for complete IR source control.

INFRARED EMITTER OUTPUTS

The MAP-1200PRE allows 6 sources to be distributed to up to 18 zones on 3
different units using the provided ribbon cable to connect between units. To do
this first each unit needs to be addressed according using the MASTER/SLAVE
switch. There are 3 positions for this, Master, Slave 1, and Slave 2 which help
to identify each unit.
11
Once each unit is correctly addressed, use the provided ribbon cables to connect
the OUTPUT of the original MASTER unit into the INPUT of Slave 1. To cascade
the sources into a third unit, using the provided expansion ribbon cable, go out
of the OUTPUT port from the device addressed as SLAVE 1 INTO the INPUT port
of the device addressed as SLAVE 2.

CONNECTION DIAGRAM
There are two RJ-45 jacks on the rear panel of this amplifier for the connection to
Ethernet.
Please use a good quality Cat5e/5 cable, and follow the connecting diagram
below.
1. Connect the LAN port on the rear panel of controller to the local Wi-Fi Router.
The Ethernet connection mainly for Wi-Fi control via APP or other control devices.
2. Connect another port (TO DEVICE) on the rear panel of controller to the smart
TV or other Network devices.
The port simply works as SWITCH function as long as the LAN1 port enabled to
Ethernet.
Note: When controlling via ETHERNET, please make sure the ETHERNET/RS232
switch is set at ETHERNET position.
