Caring For the D5SH4 Clean only with a dry soft cloth. It is important to properly care for your D5SH4 Digital Audio Distribution Hub. Follow these guidelines to ensure your device is preserved and protected. • Do not expose the D5SH4 to rain, liquids or moisture for an extended period of time.

1. Introduction Exceptional Performance The D5SH4 Digital Audio Distribution Hub is capable of providing a complete 4 source, four zone audio distribution system. Additionally, the D5SH4 has the capability to expand to additional zones using a second Digital Audio Distribution Hub.

Planning Before installing the D5SH4, 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.

Local sources are only available within the area that they are installed. They will not be available to other areas of the house as they are not distributed by the D5RH, D5SH, or D5SH4. Run lengths of CAT-5 from any local (in-room) source to the Amplifier Keypad located in that area. The D5KP must be connected to an external power supply or a distribution hub (for power).

A D5IP Source Input Wall Plate is required to add a Source to the Digital Distribution Hub. A run of CAT-5 terminated to T-568A standard (see Figure 2.1) is required between the D5SH4 Digital Audio Distribution Hub and the location designated for the D5IP. Connections between a source component and the D5IP are detailed in Figure 3.1 to Figure 3.2.

Figure 3.1 to Figure 3.2: Local Source to D5IP Connections NOTE: Multi-channel digital audio formats (5.1, 7.1 etc.) are not supported by the D5IP and D5SH4. However, many 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”...

IR OUT Connect a standard IR Emitter (283D emitter, for example) from the IR OUT port on the front of the D5IP to the IR receiver on the front of the audio source (see Figure 3.4). 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 (see Figure 3.4).

9 Insert the wires into the terminal, paying close attention to polarity (+/-). 10 Tighten the screws on the D5KP’s PWR IN terminal. 11 Connect the terminal strip back onto the AUX POWER OUT connector on the D5SH4. Figure 3.5: AUX POWER OUT Connections USB Port (USB IN) The USB IN port is designed to allow upgrades to the D5SH4’s firmware.

D5KP Speaker Connections The D5SH4 routes digital audio to connected D5KP Amplifier Keypad where the audio is amplified and sent to in-room speakers. WARNING!: The D5KP’s amplifier is capable of powering a single pair of 8-6 Ohm speakers. DO NOT connect speakers with a rating of less than 6 Ohms! DO NOT connect more than one speaker to either speaker connector of the D5KP.
• MASTER/SLAVE • UNIT ID • KEYPAD PAIRING MASTER/SLAVE The D5SH4 can be selected as a master or slave unit. This configuration is reserved for future upgrades. Default setting is ‘OFF’ SWITCH 1 UNIT ID (HUB NUMBER) Each D5SH4 has a corresponding DIP switch setting relative to the other chassis.
