Digital input – automatic selected source enabled feature
The X5 can be programmed to enable automatic switching of the digital
source inputs. This feature will automatically select and play the digital source
when there is an active digital connection made to the X5. The X5 zone will
turn on when the TV digital signal is active. If using a keypad in that zone,
the keypad will also turn on and indicate the source TV on the keypad display.
If the MyRussound app is being used as the control of the X5, the app will
indicate that the zone is on and the TV source is active. Additionally, if you
were listening to music from one of the onboard streaming services, the X5
will automatically switch the audio to the TV when an active digital signal is
present.
To enable or disable this feature, programming edits must be made within
the SCS dealer programming tool. The feature is easily set up by using the
wizard. Once the wizard has finished, sources connected to the X5 will be
visible in the configuration tree. Choosing X5 Settings from the programming
tree will open the X5 configuration settings for that zone. Once on the X5
Settings page, the S/PDIF Input configuration can be enabled or disabled.
To enable the auto selected source feature, chose the connection type, coaxial
or digital, and use the drop down box to highlight the source that will be used
to sense the digital signal. The source chosen will be the device the keypad
and the MyRussound app will show as active. In most cases this will be a TV.
The X5 is an audio device only. Sources will be routed through the TV inputs
and the digital audio connection from the TV will connect to the X5. (See the
connection diagram on the next page)
