Use with control devices having an RS232 serial port (for example, Crestron and AMX touch screen controllers). This connection

is also used for upgrading the AVR500, AVR600 or AV888’s internal software.

more information about introducing the AVR500, AVR600 or AV888 into your computer network.

Ethernet

If an Ethernet cable is connected, the unit will automatically attempt to connect to your network.

You should use CAT5 cable plugged into the RJ45 socket labelled ETHERNET on the rear panel.

The unit only supports the direct connection of USB devices and will not support devices

connected through a hub. If regular access to the USB socket is required, you may find it convenient to use a USB extension lead.

See page 46 for details of supported file types.
