Russound MCA-C5 User and Installation Manual

Programmable options with SCS-C5 software

The necessary software (SCS-C5) to program and configure the system is

available via download from the Doc Center at www.russound.com. With your

PC laptop, you can configure the system prior to connecting with the MCA-C5

controller. The software has a Source Setup Wizard to aid in the setup and basic

configuration of the sources. Once configured, the system information can be

saved to a file. Reports can also be generated for a hard copy back up of the

system configuration.

Items to be programmed with SCS-C5 software include:

Zone and Source Names - a list of predefined names for both are available

and will be visible upon keypads and in reports. Custom naming is also

possible following the character parameters.

Source Exclusion - defines the set of sources available to each zone.
Party Mode Participation - whether the zone can participate in Party

mode.

Zone and Source Linked Groups - Two groups of each type are allowed per

controller. Groups share source selection and party mode participation.

All ON Participation - defines whether or not the zone will respond to the

All ON command.

Page Source - Source 8 can be selected as a page source.
Page Event mode - defines whether a zone will respond to a page event.
Page Volume - sets the volume of a page event in each zone.
Power Management of Sources - enabled / disabled per source. If enabled

the source will turn on when the first zone is turned on or the home

theater trigger has 12 VDC present. The source will turn off 5 minutes after

the last zone is turned off, or 5 minutes after input is discontinued from

the home theater trigger. This feature uses IR commands and audio signal

sensing to power up sources and initiate audio to confirm source power

states.

Internal AM/FM Tuner on Source 1 - If the tuner is utilized, any input via

the Source 1 input ports on the rear of the unit needs to be disabled.
