Russound MCA-C5 - Manual (Page 19)

19 Russound MCA-C5 User and Installation Manual
Source Audio Connections
On the MCA-C5, sources 1 through 8 have standard stereo audio inputs and
loop outputs. All source inputs have audio signal sensing. These sources can
be programmed during zone setup to be global sources, or zones can be
individually programmed to restrict access to sources.
There is an internal AM/FM tuner that, if enabled, will occupy source 1. The
tuner is enabled with the SCS-C5 software. If utilizing the internal tuner, do not
connect/configure another source on source 1.
Connect each source output using quality RCA signal cables. Connect the Left
and Right Audio outputs from each source to the corresponding inputs on the
MCA-C5 controller.
The buffered loop-through outputs are used to loop to additional controllers
or other AV switching systems (e.g., home theater receiver).
SOURCE CONNECTIONS
RNET Source Data Connections
The RNET Link In and Link Out can be used to connect the MCA-C5 to other
specified Russound RNET-enabled source equipment. The connection is made
using a CAT-5e patch cable from the Link Out of the controller and into the Link
In of the RNET-enabled source. Another CAT-5e patch cable can be used to link
out of that source and link into another RNET-enabled source in the system.
Use a standard CAT-5e patch cable with an RJ-45 connector on each end.
Along with RNET data signals, the RNET Link In and Link Out port passes
source IR signals. To avoid potential cross-talk between the source-specific IR
repeating signal lines, the cable can not exceed 18 inches in length.
