MRC88m & XT1
Multi-Room Controller and Tuner Integration

DESCRIPTION

This document describes how to integrate the XT1 with the MRC88m, using Dragon-Drop software.
For this example, we are going to connect the XT1 to the MRC88m as Source Input 1, and are going
to use the COM RS232 port of the MRC88m for communications with the XT1.

Connect the RED and WHITE analog stereo connectors from the XT1 to the appropriate SOURCE 1
inputs of the MRC88m.
Connect the RS232 port of the XT1 to the COM port of the MRC88m, using the RJ45-to-DB9
connector included with the XT1. No additional adaptors are necessary.
