SOURCE CONNECTIONS

RNET Source Data Connections
The RNET Link In and Link Out can be used to connect the MCA-66 to other
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.

Source Audio Connections
On the MCA-66, sources 1 through 6 have standard stereo audio inputs. 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.
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-66 controller.
