Linked Device

ProAmp8 can support Linked Device on the neo:X+ systems. The main feature is the ability to control the volume via the neo:X+ (through CEC) instead of going through the ProAmp8 web UI interface. It is compatible with neo:X+ by using the Sink Mode feature (under Audio Control).

This feature is currently not compatible with neo:8a, neo:6a and neo:4 Professional.

Make sure both neo:X+ and the ProAmp8 are connected to the local network. The system needs to detect each other to make the linking possible.

2. To use the Linked Device feature, make sure to connect to the correct output. Here is an example of the setup: a S/PDIF connector is connected via Input 9 (on the ProAmp8) and Output 2 (on the neo:X+).

3. Next, on the neo:X+ web UI, go to Video Routing and under the Output section, click on the icon.

4. Once the Output window is up, select the ProAmp8 on the Linked Device section and select Input 9 (as reflected as the Input on the ProAmp8).

5. To make sure it is working, login into the ProAmp8 web UI, then to Configuration and click icon to check if it is Output 2. Make sure they are connected to the neo:X+ correct output (which is Output 2 in this case).

6. Once both sides can see the connection, head over to neo:X+ Audio Control to test the volume control. By this time, the CEC volume control should be working.
