3. Connections
The D5RH is part of an integrated system that requires the use of other components. Depending on
the system design, these components may include:
• D5KP Amplified Keypad - at least one per zone required
• D5IP Source Input Wall Plates - one per zone where a Local Source is desired
• D5XH Expansion Hub - for systems containing from 5 to 28 zones (each D5XH add up to six
zones)
• Xantech Outdoor, Ceiling and In-Wall Speakers
• Xantech IR Emitters and accessories
This section describes the connectivity between these various components and the source audio
components that comprise the system. Each D5RH system is unique and not all connections will be
made in every installation.
Important Safety Note: Make sure that the D5RH is powered OFF before making any connections.
Source Audio Inputs
The D5RH supports a total of four System Sources which are available to each of four zones and can
be sent to up to a total of twenty-eight zones using D5XH Expansion Hubs. There are two types of
Source Inputs. Source 1 and 2 both have Digital Coaxial and Digital Optical connections.
Source 3 and 4 both have three types of connectors: Analog (RCA), Digital Coaxial, and Digital
Optical. For each audio source that is connected, use only one of these connection options.
Analog
Use stereo RCA-type audio patch cables to connect an audio source to the D5RH’s Source
Input 3 or 4 as shown in Figure 3.1. Use this method for sources that do not have Digital Audio
Outputs. NOTE: Make sure to put the COAX/OPT/RCA switch in the RCA (down) position.
