What's in the box?

Your CasaTunes PLUS includes the music server, power adapter, network, audio and control cables. Everything needed to install your CasaTunes music server

Music Server Connections

Connect the network cable to the port labeled LAN. Do not plug the network cable in to the POE port unless your music server is equipped with the CT-PLUS-POE option
If your matrix amplifier is controlled using RS-232 (serial), then plug in and connect the USB-to-serial cable from your music server to the 9-pin serial port on your matrix amplifier
Using the cables provided, connect streams S1-5 and OPT to your matrix amplifier source inputs
We recommend connecting all the audio cables, even if your music server is not licensed for all streams. Later, if the customer decides to add more streams, CasaTunes can update the music server license remotely without the need to visit the customer's location
If you are installing a CasaTunes matrix amplifier then complete the steps in the matrix amplifier QuickStart guide before proceeding

If you selected System Mode, the next steps are to configure the source and room settings for each matrix source and room, respectively

For non-CasaTunes, third party sources select Unsupported Source as the Source Type
Next, select Rooms to configure your rooms
Tap on each room to change the name, show or hide, and to configure the various properties for the room

If you selected Streamer Mode, then configure the stream settings for each stream

Once connected, you should unplug your wired network connection from the music server. CasaTunes defaults to using the wired connection if there is both a wired and WiFi connection
