About the MRC88/MRAUDIO8X8 Quick Start Guide
 
The MRC88/MRAUDIO8X8 Quick Start Guide provides fundamental instruction 
for planning, installing, connecting and programming a basic MRC88 System. 
The MRC88 Series Controllers have features and options to accommodate 
functionality in the most basic or sophisticated of whole-house audio/video 
distribution and control applications. This Guide only provides instruction to the 
most basic application of a MRC88 System as used in a multi-zone audio/video 
system using standard MRC88 Keypads. 
 
Advanced options such as integrating Xantech SPLCD Touchpanels 
(SPLCD64V, SPLCD64G, SPLCD39G), Music Server (XMUSICW+), Dual Tuner 
(XDT), HD video distribution (HD44CC5), doorbell and paging interface 
(DPC100, DCSS, DCCBB, DCH4), RS232 control and routing (RS2321X8), 
adding local sources (ZAKIT, ZATRAN, ZA8REC), sub-zone expansion and 
integration of high-power and multi-channel amplifiers (PA435X, PA635X, 
PA1235X, PA4100X) can all be implemented in a MRC88 System, but are not 
covered in this Guide. Please refer to the MRC88/MRAUDIO8X8 Installation 
Instructions or the appropriate individual Xantech product manuals for 
instructions on integrating those products. 
 
Additionally, advanced programming instructions covering: macro programming, 
power management utilizing sensing modules and programming sensor triggers 
(SM Series Modules), RS232 control, zone linking, monitor lockout, and all other 
advanced programming options can be found in the MRC88/MRAUDIO8X8 
Installation Instructions and/or individual Xantech product manuals.
