pairs you connect.
4)Calculate the system impedance:
EXAMPLE:
SYSTEM IMPEDANCE = |
| SPEAKER IMPEDANCE |
| |||
NUMBER OF SPEAKER PAIRS | ||||||
| ||||||
2Ω SYSTEM IMPEDANCE | = |
| 8Ω SPEAKERS |
| ||
4 PAIRS OF SPEAKERS | ||||||
|
| |||||
5)Since you have determined the system impedance you can now calculate the jumper setting needed to pro- tect your amplifier.
EXAMPLE:
JUMPER SETTING = | AMPLIFIER’S MIN. IMPEDANCE (step 1) | |||||
| SYSTEM IMPEDANCE (step 4) | |||||
4X JUMPER SETTING | = | 8Ω | AMPLIFIER | |||
| 2Ω | SYSTEM |
| |||
|

NOTE: All volume controls in the system should be set to the same jumper setting.
5. Operation Instructions
1)Make sure the amplifier or receiver is turned Off and it’s volume set to minimum.
2)Connect 12 Volt power to the Smart Select System (see Figure 2)
NOTE: The 12 Volt power supply (Russound part No. 1201A) must be connected through the Russound Smart Select™ Power Interrupter Module (Figure 2). You may also power the SSVC system directly from the Smart AC™ Power Controller (See Smart AC™ instruction manual).
3)The status indicator light should be illuminated red on all volume controls connected. This means that the vol- ume control is currently in Mute mode, and that the speakers are disabled.
4)Press the function control button once. The status indicator should now blink 3 times and then turn solid green. This means that the SSVC is now in Active mode, and that the speakers are enabled.
5)Repeat step 4 on all remaining volume controls.
6)Set the Smart Select™ volume to maximum (fully clockwise).
7)Turn On the amplifier or receiver and select a music source, such as tuner or CD player.
8)Slowly turn up the amplifier or receiver volume and set it to a comfortable (not maximum) listening level. Be careful not to overdrive your amplifier. If the sound becomes muddy or distorted, you have reached the limit of your amplifier’s or receiver’s volume capability and should quickly reduce the volume to avoid damaging your speakers and/or your amplifier or receiver.
NOTE: 12 o’clock on most receivers is close to full volume.
9) Adjust the volume of the SSVCs to the desired listening level.
10)To turn Off your speakers, press the function control button once. The status indicator will turn red and your speakers will be muted again. You may also turn the volume control knob to the full counter clockwise posi- tion to turn Off the speakers.
6. Smart Select™ Special Features Operation
In addition to On and Off control, the function control button can be used to send
To mute all volume controls (All Off feature)
1)On any SSVC, press the function control button until the status indicator light is red.
2)Press and hold the function control button until the status indicator blinks amber.
3)All connected SSVCs will now be in mute mode.
To enable all volume controls (All On feature)
1) On any SSVC, press the function control button until the status indicator light is solid green.
