Initial Hardware Install Test - Russound CAS44 Owner's Manual

It's important to conduct an initial test to determine that the hardware components are working properly.
1. Connect the speaker wires from Zone #1 to the CAS44 Zone #1 speaker output connectors.
2. Connect a keypad (KP4, KPL) to Keypad Port #1 on the rear of the CAS44.
3. Connect a source to the Source #1 Input on the CAS44 using RCA Audio patch cables.
4. Plug a 1584.1 dual IR emitter into one of the Common IR Jacks and adhere one emitter end to
the source equipment's IR window.
5. Plug in the main power cords for the CAS44 and the source.
6. Turn on the main power switch on the CAS44 and the source.
7. Manually command the source to provide audio or use the source remote control.
8. Press the power button on the KP4 or KPL keypad and select Source #1.
9. To be sure of proper placement of the IR emitter on the source component, aim the source
remote control at the keypad for Source #1 and try to control the source. Adjust the emitter over
the source's IR receiver if necessary.
Congratulations – you should now hear the source through the speakers in Zone #1.
If there is no sound, follow these diagnostic steps:
1. Check the source to see that it is operating properly.
2. Check the RCA Audio cable connections from the source to the Source #1 Input on the CAS44.
3. Check the speaker connections and verify that they are correct and are connected to the
Zone #1 speaker outputs.
4. Check to see that the keypad is connected to the Zone #1 Keypad Port and verify the CAT-5 is
properly terminated at both ends.
If none of these steps produce successful results, call Russound Tech Support for further assistance.
