1.
Power off all components before
making any connections.
2.
When making connections, confirm
RCA cabling maintains Right and
Left status for all analog audio
system connections. This will reduce
potential connection issues.
3.
Whenever possible, isolate power
cords from signal cabling to prevent
ground-induced hum. Bundle cables
as same-type, do not mix.
4.
Use high-quality interconnect cables.
Inexpensive cables do not fare well
in an elevated temperature rack
environment, breaking down over
time to create signal loss or hum.
Typically, they are badly shielded
with poorly fitting RCA connectors.
5.
For analog cable runs in excess of 20
feet, consider using a transmitter-
receiver extension kit that is capable
of delivering audio noise-free over
Category cabling. Some kits can
convert 3D immersive soundtracks
into two-channel stereo for site-wide
distribution and intelligible listening.

6.
When using the A or B coaxial (RCA)
digital inputs, use high-quality
cables with the correct impedance
designed for digital audio use. Proper
RCA-type digital audio cables are
75 Ohms impedance, with both the
center conductors and the shielding
crimped, not soldered, to the RCA
connector to maintain 75 Ohm
impedance. A cable designed for
digital audio will also be capable of
handling the high frequencies that
comprise a digital signal. For these
reasons, do not substitute analog
audio cables for digital audio cables.
7.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the
RJ45 Ethernet Port on The Director
M6800D to the network.
8.
Open your browser and open the
Web Interface within the unit. All
controls and features of the unit will
be displayed.
9.
Enter the Matrix and Consult the
Oracle to find out what is next Neo.
