How do you put the MBX-AMP into IR learning mode to teach it the IR commands?
Entering IR learning is done by pressing and holding the Play/Pause and Volume+ buttons simultaneously for a few seconds until the
front panel LED starts blinking green slowly. Refer to the product manual for the full procedure. It only takes about a minute to
program all three commands: Volume+, Volume-, and Mute.
Can anything else be done by remote control on the MBX-AMP?
Yes. Russound added additional installer features that can be configured as needed into control systems or universal remote
controls, etc. or simply by using a Russound USRC remote control. If using these commands, make sure to disable low power standby
on the MBX-AMP by changing the Power Management-Idle Time to "None" in WebConfig. The following USRC remote control
commands are available and can be used at any time: Volume+ , Volume- , Mute, Toggle, Play, Pause, Stop, Next, Previous, Favourite 1
& Favourite 2.
Russound added the following command codes from the USRC Remote Control too (MBX-AMP International Variant):
USRC Key Function: 0 (Select Aux Line In), 1 (Select Digital Input), 2 (Select and Play Last Played UPnP Content), 3 (Select
and Play Last Played USB Content), 4 (Select and Play Last Played TuneIn Content), 6 (Select and Play Last Played vTuner
Content), 8 (Select and Play Last Played TIDAL Content) & 9 (Select and Play Last Played Deezer Content).
Are these IR features available on the MBX-PRE?
No, the IR features are only available on the MBX-AMP. The MBX-PRE works seamlessly with Russound controllers,
which can be IR controlled (via system keypads), so there was no need to include IR functionality into the MBX-PRE.
Audio Streaming Questions:
On TuneIn, I'm getting station art displayed instead of album art. Can I display Album Art?
This is a bug that will be fixed shortly via a software update. All TuneIn stations are currently (28/02/19) displaying Station Art rather
than Album Art.
What are the types of audio file formats that can be played by the MBX-Series products?
The MBX-Series supports the following audio file formats: MP3 (CBR, VBR), WAV (8, 16-bit),OGG Vorbis, FLAC (8, 16-bit). AAC, AAC+
(supports up to 24-bit/192 kHz). Hi-Res Audio of up to 24-bit/192 kHz is fully supported.
What streaming services are supported (MBX-AMP International Variant)?
Because the MBX-Series of products offer the unique combination of Bluetooth, ChromeCast Built-in for Audio and Apple AirPlay™
support in a single box, the audio content for streaming services is virtually limitless. Russound currently supports built-in
implementations of TIDAL, Deezer, TuneIn, and vTuner, with additional support for USB content on thumb drives or externally
