Figure 9 – Removing the MRC88 Keypad from the wall

1.Insert the MRC88 keypad removal tool into the slot at the bottom of the keypad, as shown in Figure 9, being sure that the tool is inserted so that the “insert to here” line slides under the Keypad. This will reduce the risk of damage to the Keypad or the wall.

2.Twist the removal tool in either direction until the bottom of the Keypad pulls away from the wall, then carefully grip the edges of the Keypad with your fingers and pull it off the wall.

NOTE: Since the Keypad snaps into the mounting bracket and there are a large variety of wall textures, the Keypad may POP OUT or require some additional effort to pull it off the wall, depending on your particular installation.

CONNECTING THE MRC88 CONTROLLER/AMPLIFIER

When making connections to the MRC88 Controller be sure the power cord is unplugged. Proceed as follows, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 13 for a typical MRC88 system layout and interconnections:

SOURCE RELATED CONNECTIONS

The following relates to all source related connections to the MRC88 Controller Unit (A/V In/Out, IR Control, Sense Inputs etc.)

SOURCE COMPONENT CONNECTIONS

Audio Connections

(BASIC/ADVANCED)

Using good quality RCA-type patch cables connect the LEFT and RIGHT OUTPUT jacks of the source component (DVD, CD, Satellite receiver, etc.) to the appropriate source AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT INPUT jacks on the MRC88 - Figure 3-(22).. Do this for each source component.

(EXPANDED)

Using good quality RCA-type patch cables connect the source AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT OUTPUT Jacks of the ‘Primary Controller’ - Figure 3-(23).to the corresponding source AUDIO LEFT and AUDIO RIGHT INPUT jacks on the ‘Secondary Controller’ - Figure 3-(22).

Video Connections

(BASIC/ADVANCED)

Using good quality RCA-type video patch cables connect the VIDEO OUTPUT jacks of the source component to the VIDEO INPUT jacks on the MRC88 - Figure 3-(22). Do this for each source Component.
