[4] M219-Link

M217- Display connection

The external display M217 can be connected to the M219-Linkconnector, which can give the listener basic information about the current music programme.

Connection is made using a straight through (not crossed), 4-core telephone cable with an RJ11 plug (6P4C-Modular) connected to the M219 LINK socket.

* Comment

A3-core cable with screening is recommended. In this case, no further cable would be necessary if you added an additional display at a later stage.

[5]IR-LINK

Connection for IR receiver or wall-mounted remote control

If it is not possible or not required that the M219 is controlled directly with a remote control, a wall-mounted remote controller (e.g. M218) or and external IR eye (MR-204) can be connected to the IR-LINKconnector.

Connection to the IR receiver or the wall-mounted remote controller is made using a screwable Phoenix plug connector.

REVOX recommends the use of a 3-core, screened cable* (microphone cable), where the screening is used as an earth. This cable may not be longer than 40 meters. Please refer to the label for the correct cabling:

the maximum number of IR receivers per M219 is 5.

IR commands

The M219 accepts all RC5 or RC6 commands and carries out those that are intended for it. All others are transferred on to the Multiroom central unit.
