To set up DN-508MX with your sound system:
1.
If you are using any audio source with RCA outputs (Blu-ray
®
players, stereos, etc.), use
standard RCA cables to connect them to the
ST inputs
on the rear panel. Your audio sources
must be line-level (no phono-level turntables).
2.
If you are using an amplifier or other audio source with outputs that can be wired into standard
Euroblock connectors, connect them to the
mic
/
line inputs
on the rear panel.
3.
Use standard Euroblock connectors to connect the loudspeakers of your different zones to the
line outputs
on the rear panel. Each group of 5 connections corresponds to 2 zones. Each zone
has a hot (
H
) and cold (
C
) connector, and each pair of zones shares the ground (
G
) connector.
4.
To manage DN-508MX using its web interface,
connect the
Ethernet port
and your computer
to a network switch or router using standard Ethernet cables. If your computer is wirelessly
connected to your router, connect just DN-508MX to that router. Alternatively, connect DN-
508MX’s
Ethernet port
directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.
5.
To manage DN-508MX using serial communication,
connect the
remote port
to your
computer using a 9-pin D-Sub cable. Use a third-party utility to manage DN-508MX.
Alternatively, connect the
RS-422
port to a third-party utility using a standard analog telephone
cable with RJ45 connectors.
Tip:
We recommend using the web interface to control DN-508MX rather than serial
communication. It is much easier to use the web interface via IP communication than a third-
party utility via RS-232C or RS-422 serial communication.
6.
Use the included power cable to connect DN-508MX to a power outlet.
7.
Power on all of your audio sources (Blu-Ray
®
players, stereos, microphones, amplifiers, etc.).
8.
Power on DN-508MX.
