Bluetooth Connection (Optional)
The MCA-66 supports a connection for the optional Russound BTC-1X
Bluetooth
module. The BTC-1X
Bluetooth
module can be located up to 300 feet
away from the MCA-66 using CAT-5 wire terminated via T568A, allowing the
user to connect their smartphone or tablet via
Bluetooth
within range of the
BTC-1X in their living area while the MCA-66 is remotely located.
The
Bluetooth
connection takes up Source 1 of the MCA-66's 6 sources.
Digital Audio Inputs
The MCA-66 supports digital source inputs, for both Coaxial and Optical
audio connections. The digital inputs are hard-wired to take up Sources 3, 4
and 5. Source 5 can be configured for either Coaxial or Optical digital input.
Source 3, 4 and 5 are configured for Analog inputs by default. These source
inputs can be configured to be digital inputs using Web-SCS or SCS-C5
configuration software.
Factory Reset
This button has two functions. A 3 second press and hold will restore
network settings to DHCP. A 10-second press and hold will reset the controller
to its factory default settings. A unit that has been reset to factory default will
have no configuration and will need to be unlocked and reconfigured by a
Russound Certified Installer.
Ethernet Connection
The Ethernet connection is used for configuration and programming as well
as for enabling control via the MyRussound App. The default connection
is DHCP, but it may be configured with a static IP address using the SCS-C5
software.
It is required for communication and controll of Russound IP sources such as
the DMS-3.1.
