Introduction Exceptional Performance The D5IP Digital Distribution System Input Plate allows a Local Source (a source located within a remote room away from the main distribution system) to be connected to the main distribution system. It can easily connect with the D5KP Keypad Amplifier and the D5SH Digital Distribution System Hub.

Planning Before installing the D5IP, it is essential to have a detailed and accurate system design. The first step to a good design is to map the system. It is advisable to mark up a copy of the house floor plan with speaker, keypad and equipment locations, etc.

D5IP Digital Audio Source Input Plate to D5KP Keypad and D5SH Hub The D5IP and all associated components are wired using CAT-5 terminated to the T-568A Wiring Standard (Figure 2.1). When pre-wiring, run lengths of CAT-5 from the pre-determined equipment location (the “head-end”) to each Amplifier Keypad location.

D5IP Connector Analog Audio Input (L/R) Digital Coaxial Audio Input IR Output Source Input Switch Digital Optical Audio Input Clipping Indicator LED 08905155A Function Connect analog audio source using RCA cables. Connect digital audio sources using Digital Coaxial cable. Source-specific IR port to control audio source.
The D5IP is designed to mount in a standard single-gang rough-in box (J Box). Mount the unit in close proximity to the location of the source that will be connected to it. Note: Do not mount the D5IP in the same rough-in box as the high voltage devices such as electrical outlets or switches.
Note 1: Make sure that the D5IP’s Source Input Switch is correctly set for the type of connection used. Note 2: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1, etc.) are not supported by the D5IP. Most audio/video sources allow you to change the digital output to PCM Stereo.

NOTE: Be sure the RCA/OPT/COAX switch is ‘middle’ and set to ‘OPT’. Note: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1, etc.) are not supported by the D5IP. Most audio/video sources allow you to change the digital output to PCM Stereo. In most cases, this will allow multi-channel audio sources to output a “summed” stereo signal through the digital output. Consult the audio/video source manual for details.

IR OUT Connect a standard IR Emitter (283D, for example) from the IR OUT port on the front of the D5IP to the IR receiver on the front of the audio source. For sources that have an IR Input port on the back of the unit, use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono interconnect cable instead.
4. Adjust the zone’s volume to a normal, comfortable listening level. 5. Observe the CLIP LED on the front of the D5IP. If it lights up constantly or consistently, the source’s output level is too high and needs to be adjusted.
