Component Video Outputs, even a Phono Input! URC’s DMS-AV (TSP-2000) provides state-of-the-art performance to every aspect of a home theater. It provides eleven audio & video inputs, as well as a Phono Input (MM), including five HDMI Inputs and seven 125-watt amplifier channels.
Overview Empower your Clients In use, the DMS-AV provides easy access to powerful features via the two-way interface found on most Total Control in-wall and hand-held controllers. The end-user, at a glance, can easily determine the source, volume and other settings, without relying on a front panel display that is often hidden in a closet or otherwise unreadable.

Although you can program the system with DHCP assigned to your URC devices, you run the risk of an IP conflict after a power failure or other router “glitch”. Thus, it is best to assign static IP to all URC devices. Click the DHCP column for each device including the DMS-AV, wait for the IP Status window to load (this takes a few...
You must drag the DMS-AV (named FR Audio Video Settings to make sense to the end-user) to the correct input on the Family Room TV. If you have any other TVs, or non-URC audio devices with inputs and zones to be assigned to them, make sure you complete those connections as well, before moving on to Step 8.
