Russound MCA-C5 User and Installation Manual
Programmable options with SCS-C5 software
The necessary software (SCS-C5) to program and congure the system is
available via download from the Doc Center at www.russound.com. With your
PC laptop, you can congure the system prior to connecting with the MCA-C5
controller. The software has a Source Setup Wizard to aid in the setup and basic
conguration of the sources. Once congured, the system information can be
saved to a le. Reports can also be generated for a hard copy back up of the
system conguration.
Items to be programmed with SCS-C5 software include:
Zone and Source Names - a list of predened names for both are available
and will be visible upon keypads and in reports. Custom naming is also
possible following the character parameters.
Source Exclusion - denes the set of sources available to each zone.

mode.
