The Finesse and Power To Please A Household...
The CT610, CT600 and CT310 serve the same goals; to bring to the entire house the same performance
and sound quality B & K has brought to audiophile home theaters and music listening rooms. A level of performance that up to now could only be achieved by a stack of B & K preamplifiers and power amplifiers.
Legendary B & K warmth, dynamics, and detail make critical listening possible in every room of the house.
New innovations in automation make operating an entire house full of audio/video equipment a matter of one
touch, every time!
Typically, the CT310 is used for systems with one to three stereo zones and the CT610/600 is used for systems with up to six stereo zones. The CT310 offers a unique solution for systems having a zone with a premium pair of speakers, in addition to the 55 watts per channel in Zones B & C, Zone A can supply 150 watts
RMS per channel. CT610/600/310's can be daisy chained to accommodate independent control for up to
126 zones with 9 shared sources!
Please visit B&K on the web at www
.bkcomp.com for information on our full line of hand assembled B &
products, including digital preamplifiers, receivers and high current power amplifiers for the best in movie and
music reproduction. High quality amplifiers start at 125 watts per channel in 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 channel
options. For the most demanding listener, our 200 watt per channel amplifiers offer 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 channel
options. All of B&K’s home theater amps are class A pre-driver with a class A-B mosfet output stage to supply even the most challenging speakers with massive amounts of driving current. Toroidal transformer power
supply, computer grade capacitors, and discrete circuitry using 1% metal film resistors provide superior
dynamics and sound quality. B&K, Simply Better!
The CT310 provides three independent listening zones. Zone A
provides 150 watts per channel to a
premium pair of speakers, while
zones B & C provide 55 watts per
channel of amplification.
The CT610/600 supplies six
independent listening zones
while providing 55 Watts
per channel of amplification.

CT610/600/310 Features and Benefits
Separates Performance
The CT610/600/310 receivers are born into the heritage of twenty years experience designing and building
high current low distortion high-end separates. Every design, concept, and tested part, unifies the vision that
critical listening happens when the music matters. It doesn't matter where you are or what room you are in.
With a B&K Multi-Zone receiver, any room gets the solid deep bass, the warmth, and the transparency of
B&K. Extraordinary preamplifier build quality using 1% Metal Film resistors and computer grade electrolytic
capacitors lend the CT610/600/310 preamplifier section precision, linearity and dynamics that will reveal
every detail your source components can provide. The ultimate reason to own B&K is the astonishing revolution in performance you'll enjoy. Available in 17” (standard) and 19” (rack mount) black or silver faceplates.
Built-In Intelligence
The CT610/600/310 receivers work quietly behind the scenes to provide simple automation and flexibility for
everyday living. Using unique Personal Action Macros
TM
and B &K 's SmartZoneTMsystem, the
CT610/600/310 instantly recalls your favorite settings without any additional external automation systems.
The intelligence is built in.
A Single Keypad in Each Room - Multi-Zone From One Central System
The CT310 provides three independent listening Zones, the CT610/600 provides six. In each zone the user
can freely select sources, raise and lower the volume, adjust the bass or the treble without affecting users in
other zones! All the performance and ability that a dedicated stack of high-end separates would give a user in
each room, without any of the visible clutter. The multi-zone receiver and all shared sources can be concealed in a cabinet or rack in one central location. Only a keypad need be seen in any zone!
Connect Up to Nine Shared Sources
More than any other single feature, the nine input capability frees the system architecture from restriction.
Now, designs can include multiple CD changers or multi-output hard drives. Nine inputs enables your system
to grow in the future and accommodate any new technology. Built-in IR routing allows any of the source components to be identical, yet still be controlled independently without problems.
Video For The Entire House
The CT610/600/310 receivers incorporate a composite video matrix, delivering a pristine picture to every
room in the house. One touch to your remote control or keypad enables you to select from up to ten video
sources (nine shared and one dedicated to each zone).
Twin AM/FM Tuners Allow Simultaneous Listening to Two Radio Stations
Is it time for the news or the sports? With a B& K Multi-Zone receiver, there are no arguments, no compromises. The CT610/310 supplies two AM/FM tuners enabling two radio listeners to hear what they want without disturbing each other. The CT600 provides one internal tuner.
Six Dedicated Zone Inputs
Each zone has its own dedicated local Audio/Video source input. This input can detect when a source is
being played and automatically turn the zone on and/or switch from one of the nine shared sources. All the
user needs to do is turn on the local source, simple!

CK1.2 Keypad Features and Benefits
Automation Everywhere!
Keypads Automate the Central System with Local TVs and Components
The CK1.2 keypad can accommodate control of up to twenty devices with four pages of custom labeled buttons per device. Each button can be programmed with a single IR command (pre-programmed from the database or learned) or it can be programmed with a macro of up to 190 steps (steps can include IR commands,
delays of .1 to 99.9 seconds, and jumps to another page). A vast database of more than one thousand brands
instantly programs IR Codes for most products. B& K Batch Learning does the rest in a fraction of the time of
any other system. The CK1.2 also features RS-232 status feedback and input syncing for the zone in which it
is operating. Macros can be programmed using the fastest macro programming method available, simply
click on the button to make it a macro step. Once one keypad is programmed, the rest can be cloned by simply downloading to each keypad. Each keypad stores its program on an EEPROM so even if the power is
lost, the memory is good for up to 10 years.
Point Any Remote Control at the Keypad
The integrated IR pass-through sends the commands of any IR remote control to both locally installed components and the central system. If your client wants to use a remote control in any room, they can simply
point it at the B& K keypad.
Status Feedback to Keypads
RS-232 feedback from the CT610/600/310 to the keypads will keep the keypads in synchronization with the
source that is selected. The keypad will stay in sync with the source that is selected, regardless of how it was
selected (by a remote control, the front panel controls or the keypad itself). The keypads will also display
zone status when the backlight button is pressed. Status feedback includes zone radio station or input name,
volume, bass, treble and loudness levels. Additionally a 12VDC status signal lights up the Green Status LED
whenever the zone is on.
Multiple Keypads With One Zone
Keypads can be used in a daisy chain application to accommodate up to 6 keypads per hardware zone. Any
keypad has the ability to control any zone regardless of whether it is daisy chained (slaved) off another keypad. Slaved keypads are perfect for large rooms that require user interface at both ends. Keypads have successfully been tested up to 1000ft using CAT5-E cable.
CT610/310 Front Panel
1. The front panel Vacuum Florescent Display (VFD) displays what zone you are controlling.
2. The Volume Control adjusts volume of the displayed zone.
3. Stereo headphones with a standard ¼ inch plug connect here. The receiver must be on and
in HEADPHONE Mode for proper headphone operation. Headphone mode available in Zone A.
4. The Master Power Switch is only used to completely power off the CT610/600/310. Normally,
use the Sleep button to turn the CT610/310 on or off from the front panel. There is very low
electrical consumption when the unit is “sleeping” (35 watts drawn during sleep).

Code-Set 128 Simply Explained
Code-Set 128 is a special code-set which
allows individual control of the Hardware Zone
that the IR Data is received by. It will not function
when received by the unit’s front panel. I.e., Two
keypads are plugged into Zone A & B’s Control
I/O Ports, when the remote comes into IR view
of the keypad in Zone A, the 128 Code-set
remote will only control Zone A, when in Zone A.
Take that same remote into Zone B and it will
only control Zone B.
CT-1 System Integrator P/N: 52615
The CT-1 is used to link multiple CT products together using IR as the communication interface. One CT-1
can accommodate 3 CT products, 9 shared sources, a CK1.2 Keypad and one home theater piece. The CT-1
makes operation of shared identical sources possible between multiple CT products, it also makes future
expansion of a system simple. Please refer to the System Expansion section of this manual for more information on using the CT-1.
RJ-45 to 5 position Phoenix Adapter P/N: 21419
These adapters allow termination into RJ-45 for easy
connection into the back panel of a CT product.
Standard Category 5 cabling can be used to install the
keypads. These adapters are available through

Placement and Ventilation
The CT610/600/310 incorporates built in power amplifiers and requires at least 3" of free air space above the
unit. If built into a rack, please insert at least one rack space of vent panel immediately above the unit.
Default Operation
The factory default of a B& K CT610/600/310 is designed for simplicity and functionality right out of the box!
Default settings will allow for simple functions such as zone power, volume control, input changing and video
connections to be checked as soon as they are connected. No programming required!
Connection Strategy
Connecting a CT610/600/310 is a daunting task at first glance. However, the secret to a great looking and
easy to service installation is to be as deliberate as possible. Make the installation SERVICEABLE as well as
neat! Dress the wires in groups according to purpose:
·AC Power lines tied together and attached to the cabinet/rack on the opposite side of the signal
cabling. Any component without enough slack in the power wire to enable rotating it or extracting it
should have its length extended with a dedicated extension cord.
·Speaker wires tied together and attached to the cabinet/rack on the opposite side of AC Power lines.
·Antennas should be routed so that they can be positioned later.
·IR emitters should be routed and tied down, but NOT attached to source components. Remember,
emitter position is best done with the system powered up! Emitter wires can safely be run adjacent to
AC Power cables.
·Combine Keypad/IR Sensor cables together with any Dedicated Zone Input cables that originates in
another zone. Tie each Zone Control cable together with its dedicated source. Tie everything
together; make sure there is a service loop of free cable and dress on the opposite side of the AC
Power cables.
·Combine all cables coming from the sources, label each cable and connect them to the nine inputs.
·Combine all buffered outputs and connect to additional preamplifiers/receivers in the system.
·If you are utilizing any external power amps, combine the zone line outputs and connect to each
amplifier in turn.
Always leave enough slack in the ends of the cable so that the CT610/600/310 can be rotated in its shelf or
pulled out of the shelf. Don't leave all the wires tied down so tightly that the components cannot be rotated or
extracted from the rack without huge difficulty.

Speaker Connections for CT610/600/310
The CT610/600/310 connects to speakers via six - 4 position plug-in Phoenix connectors. Speaker wires are
all home run from each zone to the back panel of the CT610/600/310. Simply unplug the connector from the
rear of the receiver, strip the speaker wire approximately ¼" and insert the bare end into the gate on the connector. Use a small flat blade screwdriver
to tighten the connection to each conductor. Connectors accommodate up to 12gauge wire.
Make sure to observe polarity as you
hold the connector upside down to
connect Left and Right as shown. Two
guide tabs also insure proper orientation.
Speaker Connections for a CT310
The CT310's Zone B and Zone C connectors terminate using the 4 position plug-in Phoenix connector.
However, the Zone A speakers can be connected either via the same plug-in Phoenix connector or via 5 way
binding posts for premium speaker wire (the Zone A amplifier is 150 watts per channel, Zone’s B & C output
is 55 watts per channel).
AC Power and Line Fuse
Before connecting any cables, verify that the CT610/600/310 powers up. Check functionality of the receiver by
connecting the AC power cord and powering on the receiver with the main power button. When the front
panel display lights up, power the system down once it has finished the boot up process. Disconnect the AC
power cord at the rear of the CT610/600/310 for safety. You can re-connect once the system connections are
complete.
If you need to check the fuse, follow this procedure:
1. Power off the unit and unplug the power cord.
2. Push up on the fuse release tab.
3. Pull the entire fuse holder out.
4. Remove the fuse from the fuse holder and measure the fuse
with a meter. You cannot tell if it is blown by looking at it.
5. Replace only with fuse of same value. CT610/600/310 use
12A Slo-Blo fuses for main A/C.
Caution! A blown fuse is usually an indicator of an installation or service problem. If fuses continue to blow, call B& K Components
Customer Service at 1-800-543-5252 or contact an Authorized B & K
Service Center for assistance.

Keypad Connections
Keypads connect to the CT610/600/310 at the Control Terminals. There is a five position phoenix terminal for
each of the hardware Zones labeled A-F on the CT610/600 and A-C on the CT310.
Termination of the Keypad cables to the Control Terminals can be done in one of two ways:
Strip the keypad cable and terminate five wires to the five terminals of each Zone. If you are using a CAT 5
cable connected to an RJ-45 at the Keypad, there are extra connections for Ground,12V and IR data, (identified by the colors in parenthesis) to utilize the 4 twisted pair. These can be left un-terminated however for
maximum signal strength they should be connected. It is not important which wiring standard is used, (CAT5
A or CAT5 B), however the T568B is illustrated here:

If the cables have already been terminated in RJ-45 plugs, order the accessory "RJ-45 to 5 Position Phoenix"
(P/N 21419) separately from B&K. Plug the RJ-45 plug into the adapter and screw the adapter in place on
the phoenix plug. Be sure to match the labels on the CT back panel to the labels under the pins of the
adapter. Additional keypads for any zone can be connected to the slave output on the keypad back panel.
Keypads should be programmed in series order starting with the Master Keypad, then slave 1, etc...
Each of the 5 terminals for the keypad control ports are
defined as follows:
+12VDC - Use this terminal to power the sensors and keypads for this zone. Each control card is limited to 1
amp capacity per three zones in each vertical array. See the next page for examples.
GND - Use this terminal as a common ground for data, control and power.
RS-232 XMIT - This terminal transmits RS-232 (BKC-DIP) information. This pin allows RS-232 status feed-
back to the CK1.2 keypad or other RS-232 capable devices. It can be configured with Tab 11 of BKcSuite.
The CT610/600/310 cannot receive RS-232 via this terminal.
DATA IN - This terminal is an OPTICALLY isolated IR data port feeding both the flasher port of the selected
input (unless routing is set to ALL) and the B& K CT microprocessor for B& K commands.
CTRL OUT - The 12VDC 200mA outputs are used to control external amplifiers, relays, screens or devices
that activate when a voltage is detected. The default action is that the voltage is ON when the Zone is ON,
OFF when the zone is off. This is controlled by going into the Advanced FULL Setup Tab 9 in BKcSuite. The
12VDC controls can be modified to the following choices:
Zone On - The 12V Control Out is on if the corresponding Zone is on (This is Default).
Zone Active - The 12V Control Out will turn on only if the Zone is on AND the CT610/600/310 can
detect an audio or video signal on the selected input for that hardware zone.
Zone Off - The 12V Control Out will turn on only if the corresponding hardware Zone is off.
Selected Input - The 12V Control Out is on only if this input is selected (switched to) by the user.
Note that when this option is selected the input check boxes, in BKcSuite, are active (no longer
grayed out). Check the inputs that you want to turn on the Zone Control Out.
Headphone - Only Zone A of a CT610/310 allows you to set the Control Out to be triggered by headphone
mode. Setting the Zone A Control Out to enables you to connect a separate Zone A power amp and still have
it turn off automatically when the user selects headphone mode from a keypad or remote controlling Zone A.
Note: CT600 has no headphone option.

CT310 has one power supply card for keypads, IR sensors and 12VDC control outs. Anything connected to
the +12V zone keypad output, a zone control out or a common control out must have its power consumption
noted and added up. The total must not draw more than 1 amp for a CT310.

Adding Additional Keypads in the Same Zone.
When rooms are interconnected or are open to each other (for example: interconnecting family room, kitchen,
and dining areas are common in many homes) you may opt to expand a zone to include several rooms.
Many keypads can be connected in a daisy chain from the master keypad in that zone. The master is the
keypad which is home run back to the CT610/600/310. To daisy chain keypads, simply connect a CAT5
cable terminated into RJ-45 between the two keypads. All the chained keypads need be programmed separately . Daisy-chained keypads can be programmed for independent zone control using the appropriate codeset.
The home run (master) keypad is connected using the MASTER [IN] on the keypad back panel. From the
Master Keypad's SLAVE[OUT] connect to the second keypad's MASTER [IN]. You can continue the daisychain to as many as four keypads per zone control terminal. When programming daisy chained keypads,
each keypad must be programmed separately. Always program chained keypads in series order starting with the Master keypad, then the first slave, etc.

Any source that is desired to be shared throughout the system should be connected to one of the 9 A/V
Source Inputs. Up to nine sources can be "shared" throughout
any
zone in the entire system. Internal tuners
in the CT receiver products do not utilize an input. Each of the nine shared sources should be connected as
follows:
Use the analog audio and composite video
from the source. The CT610/600/310 does
not process any digital signals. Composite
video and analog audio can be distributed
throughout the system.
Mount the IR Emitter on the
front panel, in front of the
IR receptacle of the source.

IR Flasher Emitter Output
Each of the nine shared sources can be controlled from any zone in the system using the CT610/600/310's
built in IR routing circuitry. When the IR Flasher outputs are set to “selected input,” (Default) IR is routed from
the keypads in each zone to the corresponding source according to the input selected for that zone. This
way multiple identical sources can be controlled without changing the source's IR code. For the system to
operate properly, an IR emitter connected to the IR output must correspond to the source input, i.e. IN 6 with
IR 6. The IR outputs are compatible with any standard 1/8” (3.5mm) miniature flasher/emitter from Niles,
Xantech, Elan, Sonance or Speakercraft, etc. The IR outputs operate at 5V and can supply up to 10mA of
current (475Ω internal output resistance). Carrier frequency ranges from 32 kHz to 42kHz. Make sure to use
IR shields when working with multiple identical sources in the same rack.

The IR outputs are factory default set for selected input operation thus requiring the device input and IR out
to match. Simultaneous or “All Inputs” flash can be configured for the 9 IR outputs using either the OSD
menu or BKcSuite. When using matrix video switching (i.e. audio and video from different inputs), IR routing
will follow the audio input only for that zone.
Buffered Outputs
Line level, impedance matched, (buffered) outputs are provided in order to pass source signals
from one unit to another. Each of the 9 shared
A/V inputs has a buffered output. These outputs
are buffered in order to minimize signal degradation as the signal passes from unit to unit in
series. Essentially they can eliminate the need
for Y-cables. The Buffered outputs will primarily
be used for sharing of sources between other
whole house units or home theater systems.

Zone Line Outputs
Zone line outputs are used to run the audio and/or video into each zone. Composite video outputs supply
video to monitors in each zone. Zone A's video output provides access to the on screen display for unit
setup. The setup menu is only accessible through composite video output of zone A. Line level audio outputs are supplied for each zone in order to provide a means for external amplification in any zone. These line
outputs can be configured either fixed at line level, or variable to match the volume level of the receiver’s
internal amplification (see next page). Factory default is set for line level fixed output. An external amplifier
can be controlled with the 12VDC control out from the zone that it is connected to. When line levels are set
to fixed, audio will continue to output regardless of the zone being off. An external volume control is needed
for this application. The video signal will shut off when the zone is shut off.
An example of external amplification and video connection in Zone A is provided below. Note that
the amplifier control voltage is supplied directly from the Zone Control terminal on the CT600 back
panel. If desired, this control voltage can be supplied from the back panel of the CK1.2 Keypad terminated to the Alternate Master [IN]. The figure below shows the fixed/variable jumper is set to
fixed; the wall mounted volume controls will control the externally amplified speakers while the keypad selects the source for the zone. The Keypad controls the volume of the Zone A amp channel.

Dedicated Source Inputs (Local)
Dedicated source inputs are used for local sources that are dedicated only to that individual zone. Typically
this feature is appropriate for sources that are physically located in the zone, such as DVD players or satellite
boxes in bedrooms or dens. By running well shielded audio and video cable from the local source back to
the CT610/600/310, the user can utilize the auto-sense capability built into these inputs. The CT610/600/310
will immediately auto-detect the audio or video signal from a Dedicated input and switch that zone to its dedicated input. This feature is factory default set on, however it can be turned off to simply add an additional
input for that particular zone only. Dedicated source inputs are identified on the back panel by the zone to
which they are associated, i.e. IN A, IN B, etc. When sources are auto-detected, built in software stores the
state the zone was in before the Dedicated input detected a signal, this way when the signal is switched off
the zone is returned to its previous state.
Dedicated inputs require a second audio/video home run home from the zone back to the CT Receiver.
Changing Line Level Outputs From Fixed to Variable
An internal jumper is used to change the output between line level fixed or variable. This adjustment is typically useful when using additional external amplification. Open the chassis and locate the blue jumper on the
audio card for the Zone Line Outputs. The jumpers are in line with each channel on the back panel. The
right position is fixed (F) line level, the left position is variable (V) volume control. When set to variable the
volume level of the output is matched with the volume level of the receiver amplifier output. The jumper has
the ability to change only the left (L) or only the right (R) side of each zone if desired. Note: When these outputs are set to fixed, the last used source will continue to transmit audio only regardless of the zone being
powered off. An external volume control is required for this application.

BK&
SBIMPLY ETTER!
Local IR Source Control
Local source control is accomplished by connecting IR emitters to the Alternate Master [IN] of the keypad.
Local control is not limited to one source, as many as four IR emitters can be wired in series directly from the
keypad. NOTE: Additional resistance will need to be added when running emitters directly from the keypad.
Resistance will vary depending on the distance of the run and the size of the wire used. Typical in line resistance will range from 50Ω for long runs to 150Ω for short runs. 12V Control voltages for local amplifiers or
other voltage sensing devices may also be terminated directly to the keypad’s Alternate Master [IN] using the
12V control and ground. If resistance is not added, control of
shared
sources may be lost.
PLAY 8:33
Multiple emitters should be connected in SERIES!
Most common brands of emitter can
be used, however all Emitter output
more consistent levels when connected in series. Parallel connections may work “some of the time”.
Series connections are recommended for consistent operation!
Standard 2 conductor 16 gauge
speaker wire is ideal for long runs
from the keypad to a Local TV or
device using an IR emitter. Utilizing
CAT 5 cable will also work well.
Note: Additional resistance
needs to be added when running
a flasher directly off a keypad.
Resistance will vary depending
on length of run usually between
(50ΩΩ- 150ΩΩ). The resistor needs
to be wired in series with the
flashers. This can either be on
the + or - side of the connection.
You will know if you need additional resistance if the keypad is
not able to control the shared
sources connected to any of the 9 IR
outputs.

Common Control Triggers
The B& K CT receiver line incorporates common control triggers that can be used for whole house events
such as telephones and doorbells. Two common controls on the CT610/600 (one on the CT310) allow up to
24VAC or DC voltage sensing. Referred to as Page/Events, typical applications might involve a doorbell and
front door security camera. For example, when the doorbell is pressed, the CT610/600/310 will switch all
zones to the specified A/V source input that the camera is connected to. The user can specify which zones
should or should not respond to either or both Page/Events. Wiring diagrams for specific applications are
available through B&K. Please visit our website or contact our Customer Service Department for specific
applications. The diagram below illustrates the installation of a front door security camera coupled with a
doorbell. The Page/Event is default set to switch to input 8 when a voltage is detected through Common
Control 1 IN- and IN+.
