Russound BGD1 instruction manual Installation, Connections, Setup for Rnet Control

Connections

Note: The BGD1 iBridge Dock requires the use of an RAVD1 RNET A/V Decoder at the audio system, regardless of which system is used.

1.Locate devices. Place the iBridge Dock where the iPod will be located. Place the RNET A/V Decoder with the audio system controller.

2.Run cable. Install CAT-5 or CAT-5e cable between the Dock and Decoder locations, up to

300feet (90 m). If desired, use modular wall plates and RJ-45 patch cables for a neater appearance.

3.Connect iBridge Dock. Crimp an RJ-45 con- nector on the source end of the CAT-5 cable, fol- lowing the T568A standard as shown. Plug the con- nector into the RNET A/V jack on the Dock. (If using a wall plate, punch down the CAT-5 per the T568A standard and use a straight-through patch cable between the Dock and the wall plate.)

4.Connect RNET A/V Decoder. Crimp an RJ-45 connector on the system end of the CAT-5 cable, following the T568A standard as shown. Plug the connector into the RNET A/V jack on the Decoder. (If using a wall plate, punch down the CAT-5 per the T568A standard and use a straight-through patch cable between the Decoder and the wall plate.)

Installation

Setup for RNET Control

1.Connect Decoder to RNET system. With the audio system turned off, use an RJ-45 patch cable to connect from either RNET Link jack on the De- coder to an RNET Link jack on the system or an RNET source component. Use an RCA patch cable to connect from the Decoder’s audio outputs to a source audio input on the RNET system controller.

Note: The Decoder’s video output does not function in RNET mode.

2.Select Dock source input. Set the source/ function selector switch on the Dock to the number of the source input the Decoder is connected to on the RNET system.

3.Power Dock and Decoder. Plug the power adapters into AC power receptacles and connect their output leads to the device power jacks.

4.Dock iPod. Put the iPod in the Dock with the appropriate iPod adapter.

5.Turn on audio system. Power up the audio system and select the source input you’re using for the iPod. As long as the iPod is playing, you should hear it through the audio system.

6.Program RNET system. Follow the RNET sys- tem’s programming instructions to configure the iPod source as a peripheral device. If the system includes UNO-TS2 touchscreens, also use the Screen Setup feature in the UNO-TS2 Options menu to configure the iPod as an “iPod (iBridge)” source type to assign the correct screen template.
