Connecting Peripheral Devices

Before Making REAC Connections

The S-4000M comes with five ferrite cores. Attach these to all REAC cables you connect to the S-4000M. Clamp the ferrite core
onto the cable at a location near the plug at the end of the cable, pressing down on the ferrite core until it clicks closed.

* When attaching a ferrite core, be careful to avoid pinching your fingers.
* When connecting a REAC device, use a cable that has a ferrite core attached to it.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damages to speakers or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices
before making any connections.

Connecting S-0808 Units to REAC Ports 1 - 4

Set the mode of the S-4000M to [MERGE] and connect the S-0808 units to REAC ports 1 through 4. The S-4000M configures all
REAC slave devices connected to REAC ports 1 through 4, so a REAC master device such as the V-Mixer sees the system as a single
REAC slave device.
On the S-0808 units connected to REAC ports 1 through 4, set the REAC mode to "Slave." For information about mode settings and operation in
the respective modes, refer to the owner's manual for the S-0808.
When connecting three or fewer devices, make the connections in sequence, starting from the lowest numbered REAC ports.
When communication is established between the S-4000M and the REAC master device connected to REAC port A, communication with the S-
0808 units connected to REAC ports 1 through 4 starts. When the S-0808 units connected to the S-4000M are detected and REAC communication
is established, the [LINK] indicators 1 through 4 of REAC STATUS flash. If these do not flash, try detaching and reconnecting the cables and
switching the power on and off.
When connections to REAC ports 1 through 4 are made, the input and output channel numbers of the respective S-0808 units
detected by the REAC master device are as shown below.

OUTPUT CH1 - 8
INPUT CH1 - 8
When S-0808 units are connected, the S-4000M also functions as their power-supply unit. This eliminates the need to connect external batteries
to the S-0808 units. When power supply to the S-0808 units starts, the [POWER] indicator of REAC STATUS lights up.
If the mapping of the input and output channels is different from the arrangement shown above, use the [AUTO MAP SLAVE UNITS] button to
redo the settings for the system. For information about how to make the settings, refer to "Resetting the System" (p. 20).
