ETHERNET CONNECTION AND FACTORY RESET INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Ethernet Connection Installation The Ethernet connection is used for configuration and audio streaming as well as for enabling control via the MyRussound App or the XTS Touchscreen. The default network setting is DHCP-enabled, but the XZone70V can be configured with static IP addressing using Web Config.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW Important Considerations 1. Disconnect the power cord before making any wiring connections to the XZone70V. 2. Verify that all connections and polarity are correct. 3. Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming caused by induced noise. 4. Label wires appropriately, on both ends of the wire run. 5. Avoid running speaker wires or signal cables close to house electrical wiring for any distance.
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW At the top of the web browser, a notification will appear stating that the product must be unlocked by a Russound Certified Installer. Click on the unlock button and you will be taken to a page where you will enter your credentials. Enter your Russound Certified Installer Email Address and password into the fields shown and click “Apply”. Once your information has been validated, the XZone70V will unlock and be ready for configuration and use.
CONFIGURATION Configuration of the XZone70V is done through Web Config. Navigate to the XZone70V Web Config page (see Step 6 above) Web Config Setup Tab Front Panel LEDs – The front panel LED lights can be disabled for any installation where viewing the operational lights would be distracting, or where complete darkness is desired at night. The default setting is enabled. To disable the front panel LED’s, select “Disabled” for this option in Web Config. Note: Only normal operation LEDs are disabled.
NETWORKING SETTINGS (OPTIONAL) The XZone70V can be configured to use either a dynamic DHCP network address (Default) or to use a pre-assigned static IP address. Note that the XZone70V occupies two IP addresses on a network. One IP address is used for communication and control information (HOST) and one is used for the streaming services (STREAMER). Both IP addresses are set using the Admin > Networking selection from the Web Config menu.
CONFIGURATION STREAMING SERVICE ACCOUNTS (OPTIONAL) Note: Configuring accounts must be done before accessing any streaming source which requires an account such as SiriusXM, Pandora, or Spotify. If using more than one XStream Series device, different accounts may be entered for each zone if desired. Spotify® – Spotify account credentials are entered in the Spotify app on your phone, tablet, or PC. No additional information needs to be entered on the XZone70V.
CONFIGURATION Connections Microphone - A microphone with an on/off switch is recommended for use with the XZone70V. Connect the microphone using the Phoenix connector on the rear panel. Automatic Ducking - The XZone70V will automatically reduce the volume of any source when it detects an audio signal on the microphone input. Adjusting the Microphone Gain - There are two different controls for adjusting the microphone volume level on the XZone70V.
70/100V WIRING Wiring a 70/100V high impedance amplifier like the XZone70V is much simpler than a traditional low impedance residential amplifier. All connections are made in parallel and a thinner gauge wire may be used for a high impedance system than a low impedance system. Typical wiring would use a 16 or 18 gauge wire in a single run from the amplifier to all possible speaker locations (now or to be added in the future). A small loop can be left at each potential speaker location.
TROUBLESHOOTING General Troubleshooting Check for firmware updates available to make sure that your Russound product is always up to date and to take advantage of any additional features or supporting services that may be available. Many issues can be resolved by power cycling the XZone70V by disconnecting the power supply, waiting 15 seconds and re-connecting the power supply.
NETWORKING BEST PRACTICES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Networking Best Practices Some of the most common problems can be caused by improper network configuration and out-of-date firmware. Improper network configuration can prevent XStream Series devices from connecting and communicating on the network. The first step for troubleshooting is to check networking connections and power cycle the equipment to check for proper communication. A dedicated wireless 802.11n or better router is recommended.

During this period, Russound will replace any defective parts and correct any defect in workmanship without charge for either parts or labor.
