Source Audio Connection - Russound XStream X5 Installation Manual

Source Audio Connections
Connect the source output using a quality digital cable. Connect the digital audio output from the source
to digital input on the XStream™ X5. Typical applications using the digital inputs are shown below. The
connection type is selected in SCS software.
Digital input – automatic selected source enabled feature
The X5 can be programmed to enable automatic switching of the digital source inputs. This feature will
automatically select and play the digital source when there is an active digital connection made to the X5.
The X5 zone will turn on when the TV digital signal is active. If using a keypad in that zone, the keypad will
also turn on and indicate the source TV on the keypad display. If the My Russound app is being used as the
control of the X5, the app will indicate that the zone is on and the TV source is active. Additionally, if you
were listening to music from one of the onboard streaming services, the X5 will automatically switch the
audio to the TV when an active digital signal is present.
To enable or disable this feature, programming edits must be made within the SCS dealer programming
tool. The feature is easily set up by using the wizard. Once the wizard has finished, sources connected to
the X5 will be visible in the configuration tree. Choosing X5 Settings from the programming tree will open
the X5 configuration settings for that zone. Once on the X5 Settings page, the S/PDIF Input configuration
can be enabled or disabled.
To enable the auto selected source feature, chose the connection type, coaxial or digital, and use the drop
down box to highlight the source that will be used to sense the digital signal. The source chosen will be
the device the keypad and the My Russound app will show as active. In most cases this will be a TV.
The X5 is audio device only. Sources will be routed through the TV inputs and the digital audio con-
nection from the TV will connect to the X5. (See the connection diagram on the next page)
