SCS-C5 Configuration Software

Programmable options with SCS-C5 software

The necessary software (SCS-C5) to program and configure the system is available via download from the Doc Center at www.russound.com. With your PC laptop, you can configure the system prior to connecting with the MCA-C5 controller. The software has a Source Setup Wizard to aid in the setup and basic configuration of the sources. Once configured, the system information can be saved to a file. Reports can also be generated for a hard copy back up of the system configuration.

Items to be programmed with SCS-C5 software include:

Zone and Source Names - a list of predefined names for both are available and will be visible upon keypads and in reports. Custom naming is also possible following the character parameters.

Source Exclusion - defines the set of sources available to each zone.

Party Mode Participation - whether the zone can participate in Party mode.

Zone and Source Linked Groups - Two groups of each type are allowed per controller. Groups share source selection and party mode participation.

All ON Participation - defines whether or not the zone will respond to the All ON command.

Page Source - Source 8 can be selected as a page source.

Page Event mode - defines whether a zone will respond to a page event. Page Volume - sets the volume of a page event in each zone.

Power Management of Sources - enabled / disabled per source. If enabled the source will turn on when the first zone is turned on or the home theater trigger has 12 VDC present. The source will turn off 5 minutes after the last zone is turned off, or 5 minutes after input is discontinued from the home theater trigger. This feature uses IR commands and audio signal sensing to power up sources and initiate audio to confirm source power states.

Internal AM/FM Tuner on Source 1 - If the tuner is utilized, any input via the Source 1 input ports on the rear of the unit needs to be disabled.

Sound Controls - Adjust Bass, Treble, Balance, and Loudness initial settings.

Fixed / Variable Line Output - Determines if zone preamp output gain is at a fixed level or controllable with the zone volume adjustment.

IR Keycode Learning - allows IR codes to be learned, saved, and managed.
