To set up DN-508MX with your sound system:
1. If you are using any audio source with RCA outputs (Blu-ray
standard RCA cables to connect them to the ST inputs on the rear panel. Your audio sources
must be line-level (no phono-level turntables).
2. If you are using an amplifier or other audio source with outputs that can be wired into standard
Euroblock connectors, connect them to the mic/line inputs on the rear panel.
3. Use standard Euroblock connectors to connect the loudspeakers of your different zones to the
line outputs on the rear panel. Each group of 5 connections corresponds to 2 zones. Each zone
has a hot (H) and cold (C) connector, and each pair of zones shares the ground (G) connector.
4. To manage DN-508MX using its web interface, connect the Ethernet port and your computer
to a network switch or router using standard Ethernet cables. If your computer is wirelessly
connected to your router, connect just DN-508MX to that router. Alternatively, connect DN-
508MX's Ethernet port directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.
5. To manage DN-508MX using serial communication, connect the remote port to your
computer using a 9-pin D-Sub cable. Use a third-party utility to manage DN-508MX.
Alternatively, connect the RS-422 port to a third-party utility using a standard analog telephone
cable with RJ45 connectors.
Tip: We recommend using the web interface to control DN-508MX rather than serial
communication. It is much easier to use the web interface via IP communication than a third-
party utility via RS-232C or RS-422 serial communication.
6. Use the included power cable to connect DN-508MX to a power outlet.
7. Power on all of your audio sources (Blu-Ray
8. Power on DN-508MX.
