Programmable options with SCS-C5 software

The necessary software (SCS-C5) to program and configure the system is
available via download from the Doc Center at www.russound.com. With your
PC laptop, you can configure the system prior to connecting with the MCA-C5
controller. The software has a Source Setup Wizard to aid in the setup and basic
configuration of the sources. Once configured, the system information can be
saved to a file. Reports can also be generated for a hard copy back up of the
system configuration.
Items to be programmed with SCS-C5 software include:
Zone and Source Names - a list of predefined names for both are available
and will be visible upon keypads and in reports. Custom naming is also
possible following the character parameters.
Source Exclusion - defines the set of sources available to each zone.
Party Mode Participation - whether the zone can participate in Party
mode.
Zone and Source Linked Groups - Two groups of each type are allowed per
controller. Groups share source selection and party mode participation.
All ON Participation - defines whether or not the zone will respond to the
All ON command.
Page Source - Source 8 can be selected as a page source.
Page Event mode - defines whether a zone will respond to a page event.
Page Volume - sets the volume of a page event in each zone.
Power Management of Sources - enabled / disabled per source. If enabled
the source will turn on when the first zone is turned on or the home
theater trigger has 12 VDC present. The source will turn off 5 minutes after
the last zone is turned off, or 5 minutes after input is discontinued from
the home theater trigger. This feature uses IR commands and audio signal
sensing to power up sources and initiate audio to confirm source power
states.
Internal AM/FM Tuner on Source 1 - If the tuner is utilized, any input via
the Source 1 input ports on the rear of the unit needs to be disabled.
Sound Controls - Adjust Bass, Treble, Balance, and Loudness initial settings.
Fixed / Variable Line Output - Determines if zone preamp output gain is at
a fixed level or controllable with the zone volume adjustment.
IR Keycode Learning - allows IR codes to be learned, saved, and managed.
