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 [e-mail].

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 par­ticular 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.

Connecting the LyncPad

Connect a properly terminated Cat5 or Cat6 cable to either of the two RJ-45 ports on the back of the LyncPad. The “multi­LyncPad 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 daisy­chain 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.

“Shorting Bars” -

only adjust if con­necting more than
one LyncPad into
the same zone.

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.

Zone 3

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.

Connecting a LyncPad & Optional Source Input Panel

Important:

Cat5e cable must be terminated to RJ-45 connectors following the 568-A or 568-B standard. (See page 23)
