IV. Connecting the EZ Port to the Essentia amplifier
When the EZ Port is installed in the wall the only part visible should be the faceplate and a single RJ45 jack. The supplied pre- terminated network cable can then be plugged into the jack on the EZ Port and into the network connection on the back of the Essentia amplifier, Fig. 4. Any CAT5 cable terminated using 568A or 568B network wiring will suffice should you need a longer connection.
V. Attaching Audio Source Equipment to the Essentia Amplifier
Each piece of audio source equipment is connected to the Essentia amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables. Attach the RCA cable to the corresponding audio output on the source equipment and to the desired source input on the back of the Essentia amplifier, Fig. 5.
VI. Connecting the IR Emitters
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred from the Essentia amplifier to the source equipment via mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are supplied with your Essentia System. The emitter is plugged into the corresponding source IR output on the Essentia and then placed over the IR receiver window on the source component, fig. 6. The IR outputs are individually routed to sources
The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that is sent from any of the zones. This is used to connect the NuVo T2 Tuner, which has a single IR direct input to control both tuners to the Essentia System or an IR blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of components. This is done by plugging a single mono 1/8” patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the Direct IR input.
