System Installation Considerations There are several factors to consider before installing the Russound CAV6.6-S2 system:

•What are the intended listening zones, and what zones require audio and video distribution or audio only?

•Are A-BUS®sub-zones needed? A-BUS sub- zones are only available for zones 1 - 4. The A- KP2 amplified keypad can provide direct source selection for only the first four sources when in ‘Multi’ source mode.

•What system options and accessories might be required for features such as paging, local sources, etc.?

•From where in each zone will the user prefer to control the system? Where will the keypads be located? Where will the speakers be located?

•Where will the source equipment be located? The CAV6.6 must have proper ventilation above and below for air circulation and heat dissipation. A rack-mount location may require fans and vents.

Connection Tips

•It is recommended that the CAV6.6 and the source equipment be plugged into a dedicated 20-amp circuit with an isolated ground. A power line conditioner can reduce interference prob- lems caused by noise found in some electrical systems.

•Disconnect all live power cords before making connections to the controller.

•Verify that all connections and polarity are correct.

•Keep all power cords away from all signal cables to prevent humming from induced noise.

•Choose reliable signal cables/patch cords.

•Label all wires with room location at both ends of the wire.
