Multi Room Audio Matrix Switcher and System User's Guide
4
The matrix switcher is the control centre for your MRA system. Using the matrix
switcher you can do the following:
• Select a music program for any audio zone in your home.
• Select any of the preset radio station selections for distribution to audio
zones.
• If you have the deluxe matrix switcher, you can send streaming audio
programs to the audio zones from a variety of sources, including a local
area network (LAN), or a USB memory stick.
• Connect a music player to the matrix switcher's front panel.
If you have the deluxe model matrix switcher, a PC running C-Bus Ripple
software controls the streaming audio feature using your LAN (refer to Section
2.4). Your system integrator will set up the program on your PC and you can
access the application Help files as needed.
1.2 Safety Information
Improper use of the equipment could cause serious injury. Please pay close
attention to the following warnings.
WARNINGS
There are no user serviceable parts inside the matrix switcher enclosure.
Replacing the fuse does not require opening the unit cover.
Use only the power cord supplied with the unit to connect to the mains supply.
Using the wrong power cord could cause electrical shock.
Do not let water or other liquids drip or splash onto the equipment. You could
receive an electric shock. If a spill occurs, unplug the power plug from the power
outlet immediately and call your system installer.
Do not cover the unit or block the vent holes on the matrix switcher, amplifiers,
or power supplies. Inadequate ventilation could result in overheating and the
possibility of injury due to fire or smoke.
The amplifiers can produce sounds loud enough to cause permanent hearing
loss. Prevent hearing loss by doing the following:
• Keep volume controls at low levels when selecting program sources or
when connecting local audio sources to an MRA amplifier.
• Plug the headphones into the MRA amplifier before placing the earpieces on
your head or in ears.
• Do not allow children to use the MRA equipment without adequate
supervision.
