Quick Guide

This section explains basic settings and connection procedures for constructing an MTX/MRX system
using the MRX7-D. Some of the steps may not be necessary for your system; if so, proceed to the next
step.
Preparations
Use MTX-MRX Editor to make the required settings before you
actually install and connect the equipment.
1. Prepare a computer in which to install MTX-
MRX Editor.
2. Install MTX-MRX Editor in your computer.
For details on installation, refer to "MRX Setup Manual."
NOTE
Use MTX-MRX Editor V2.0 or later if you're setting up an
MTX/MRX system that uses the MRX7-D.
3. If you want to play back music or other audio
files from the MRX7-D itself, prepare an SD
memory card.
Copy the audio files to your SD memory card. For details on
SD memory card handling, refer to "Using the MRX7-D to
play audio files saved on an SD memory card" (page 21).
4. Start up MTX-MRX Editor.
For details on installing and using MTX-MRX Editor, refer
to "MRX Setup Manual" and "MTX-MRX Editor User's
Manual."
5. Set up the entire MTX/MRX system as directed
by the wizard.
Make settings such as the number of connected MTX/MRX/
XMV/Exi8/EXo8/DCP devices, and the UNIT ID and YDIF
mode (Cascade mode or Distribution mode) for each device.
For details on YDIF, refer to "Features" (page 8), and "o
[YDIF] connectors" in "Controls and Connectors" (page 12).
Print out the schematic diagram shown at the end of the wiz-
ard, and use it when you make the actual connections and
settings.
6. The audio signal flow in the MRX7-D and the
principal parameters to be set are as follows.
Make the settings in the order shown.
For details on each item, refer to "MTX-MRX Editor User's
Manual" and "MRX Designer User's Manual."
Open the "MRX Designer" window.
Place necessary components.
Connect the components.
Set the component parameters.
Compile.
7. Make DCP settings.
Assign the parameters of the MRX7-D to the switches and
knobs of the connected DCP units. Here you can also spec-
ify the brightness of the DCP's LEDs. For details on how to
make DCP settings, refer to "MTX-MRX Editor User's
Manual."
8. As necessary, make settings for devices
other than the MRX7-D.
For details, refer to "MRX Setup Manual."
9. Specify and store a preset.
You can use presets to change the volume of zones and the
audio source to play (e.g., SD memory card or CD player)
in a single action. To prevent problems such as a sudden
increase in volume when the MRX7-D is operated, we rec-
ommend that you store the preset with the output level low-

ered to "-infinity ( )." For details on presets and how to
recall them, refer to "Recalling (switching) presets" on
page 19, and "MTX-MRX Editor User's Manual."
10. Save your settings and close MTX-MRX Edi-
tor.
A project file with the extension ".mtx" will be created.
