INFRARED (IR) SECTION
16.) Source Output #1 through 4 - This 1/8 2 conductor jack is for the IR emitters and are locked
source specific. This is useful in for instance, if you have 2 or more of the same brand CD player,
since the same IR command will work on both, this ONLY sends the IR command to this particular
source. Nearly any brand of emitter will work. There are four source specific IR jacks.
This connector is duplicated for the remaining 3 outputs and function exactly the same as the first
one.
17.) Sum Output #1 through 4 - This 1/8 2 conductor jack is for the IR emitters and are summed
across the IR buss. This will allow normal operation of different components that dont share the same
IR commands. There are four sum output IR jacks.
This connector is duplicated for the remaining 3 outputs and function exactly the same as the first
one..
18.) AC Power - This is where the AC power cord connects to the unit. It is a detachable 3 prong
I.E.C. plug. Never remove the ground lug on the plug or electrical shock and damage to the unit could
result.

INSTALLATION NOTES
# Use Category 5 8-conductor cable. It is not necessary for it to be shielded but be careful with
your cable runs. Avoid running a tight parallel with AC wiring. Be careful if stapling the wire to secure
it in place.
# Use high quality RJ-45 connectors and make sure you use a high quality crimp tool. The crimp
of the RJ-45 connectors is crucial in making the system work properly.
# Avoid tight or sharp turns near the ends of the RJ-45 connections to the controller or main
units. This can put excessive strain on already small wires.
# Note when stacking multiple units: Audio sources connect via the distribution outputs. Wall
controllers combine via the Master Controller Out jack. Make a short jumper and connect to the second
units Master Controller In jack to allow the party mode master controller to access all zones. For
the IR Emitters, we strongly suggest using a Y adapter for the emitters that attach directly from the
sources and then to the second units IR outputs. This allows the source specific functionality to be
utilized by the second MDS-6. An additional controller can be run per zone by using a RJ-45 Y
adapter before the main unit.
