HowdoIndtheIPaddressofmyMDA?
We recommend using Anthem’s ARC Genesis software or us-
ing a utility called Fing. See section 2.2 for additional details.
I’m connecting my DVD player to the MDA using a TOS in-
put, but even if the disc is playing, I do not hear any sound.
The MDA digital input only supports a PCM stream. Access
your DVD player setup menu and change the output format
to PCM.
I have a subwoofer connected to the MDA using an RCA
jack, but even if I’m playing music with lots of low-fre-
quency content, the subwoofer does not work.
Enable the subwoofer (the default setting is o). See section
2.4 for additional information.
I’m sending commands to the MDA using the serial port,
but the MDA does not react.
Make sure to congure your controller to 115200/8-N-1. Make
sure to send the terminator “;” at the end of the command. CR/
LF are not required.
I’mconguringapairofspeakersinstereobridgemode
on zones 1 and 2. I have my left speaker on zone 1 and
my right speaker on zone 2. My source’s left channel is
attached to the Analog 1 left input and its right channel
connected to the Analog 2 right input. I only hear sound
fromtheleftchannel.WhatamIdoingwrong?
Inputs and speakers (even bridged speakers) operate inde-
pendently of one another. Attach your source’s left and right
channels to the Analog 1 inputs and set Zone 1’s Input Source
to Analog 1. When in bridge mode, Zone 1 becomes the “mas-
ter,” so source selection, volume change, tone control, are all
done by accessing the Zone 1 panel. All settings in Zone 2 set
before selecting Stereo Bridge mode are no longer relevant.
My CD player analog output level cannot be controlled
and defaults to a very high level (2 Vrms). When playing
music, the MDA seems to be clipping very often. How can
thisbeavoided?
The MDA allows you to change the trim of any source. Select
the Inputs pane and set the trim level between -6 dB to -9 dB
for the source where your CD player is connected.
How does the MDA work when the On Mode switch is set
toAuto?
When the MDA is in standby, it monitors all analog and digital
connectors to check if the unit needs to turn on:
• Analog connectors are monitored for a signal higher than
-60 dBV (1 mVrms).
• Digital connectors are monitored by checking if there
is any bit toggling on the coaxial or Toslink inputs. The
MDA doesn’t check for a specic level to achieve <1/2W in
standby, only activity.
When in operation, the active channels are monitored. When
the level drops below -60 dBV (for either analog or digital in-
puts) for the amount of time programmed in the Auto-O de-
lay, the zone turns o. If all zones are o, the unit will go in
standby.
