FRONT AND BACK PANEL FEATURES Power LED Source ID switch The Power LED is lit solid red when the DMS-3.1 is powered on. This LED can also indicate other DMS-3.1 status information as described under Status Indication section at the end of this manual. There are 4 Source ID switches on the DMS-3.1 that correspond with the three streaming modules and the built-in AM/FM tuner. Each switch must be set to a unique value so that no two are the same.
STANDALONE APPLICATION The DMS-3.1 can be used in standalone mode solely as an Apple AirPlay device. The DMS-3.1 must be on the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the AirPlay enabled source of the content that is to be streamed. In a standalone configuration, the DMS-3.1 audio outputs are connected directly to the audio inputs of an audio receiver or multichannel amplifier (shown) which will power the speakers located in different rooms of the home.
AUDIO CONNECTIONS WITH C-SERIES CONTROLLERS The DMS-3.1 can be used with a Russound C-Series controller and supported user interfaces to access all features and provide amplification for speakers in multiple locations. Use standard RCA audio patch cables to connect the audio outputs of the DMS-3.1 to the source inputs on the C-Series controller. For proper operation with C-Series controllers, the DMS-3.1 source ID switches need to be set to correspond to the source inputs used on the C-Series controller.
ETHERNET CONNECTION The DMS-3.1 requires an Ethernet connection to the same Local Area Network (LAN) on which reside any AirPlay sources and if used, any DLNA / UPnP Media servers and C-Series controllers. This permits the devices to communicate to deliver content, metadata, and control data. Internet access on the LAN is required for streaming content from any online services. The DMS-3.
AM/FM ANTENNA CONNECTIONS, 12V TRIGGER IN / OUT AM Antenna 12VDC Triggers Connect the included loop antenna for AM reception to the back panel, attaching the GND (ground) and AM ends to the appropriate connections. It is recommended to use an external outdoor or attic-mounted long wire antenna for best performance for AM reception. Use a 75-ohm to 300-ohm balun at the AM connection on the unit, and attach the 75-ohm coax cable to the balun. The DMS-3.1 provides a loop through for a 12VDC trigger signal.
USB DEVICE PLAYBACK If used with a C-Series controller, the DMS-3.1 can be used to playback audio files directly from a connected USB 2.0-compliant storage device. The three USB ports are each associated with one of the three streaming modules in the DMS-3.1. The front panel USB port corresponds to stream 1 while stream 2 and stream 3 have USB ports on the back panel. Content connected to a particular USB port is only available to its associated stream output.
MENU NAVIGATION WITH RUSSOUND USER INTERFACES When used with a C-Series controller and supported user interface, the four audio outputs of the DMS-3.1 are accessed from either a source list or through a dedicated button on keypads or touchscreen devices. Each of the DMS3.1 outputs will be displayed using the name configured through SCS-C5 configuration software. The MDK-C5 ‘Home’ button returns the user to the Main menu for the C-Series controller.
SIRIUSXM INTERNET RADIO Listening to SiriusXM Internet Radio SiriusXM Internet radio permits one instance of streaming content per subscription though users can listen to a shared audio output when used with a C-Series controller. So while, the same user account credentials can be entered into all streaming modules of the DMS-3.1, only one can stream content at any given time.

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) and DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) protocols permit network connected devices to discover each other and share content and control.
DIGITAL MUSIC FILE PLAYBACK Listening to Network Audio Files (USB) USB - Now Playing Content on a USB storage device such as portable hard disk drive can be accessed by simply connecting it to one of the three USB ports on the DMS-3.1. The USB storage device used must be formatted for a FAT16 or FAT32 file system. These are the most common file storage systems used today. Note that each USB port corresponds to one of the three streams and content will be accessible through that stream only.
