IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read Information—All the safety and operating information should be read before the appliance is operated.
Follow Information—All operating and use information should be followed.
Retain Information—The safety and operating information should be retained for future reference.
Heed Warnings—All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be heeded.
Wall Mounting—Mounting of this appliance should be done only by an authorized installer.
Ventilation—The appliances should be situated so that their location or position does not interfere with their proper ventilation.
These appliances should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. These appliances should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
Non-Use Periods—Appliances that are left unattended and unused for long periods of time should be de-energized.
Power Sources—The appliances should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instruc-
tions or as marked on each appliance. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your authorized ELAN dealer
or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization—Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one blade wider than the other blade. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
polarized wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician
for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Water and Moisture—To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, these appliances should not be used near water ––for
example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Power Cord Protection—Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Telephones—Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electrical shock from lightning. Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak if the leak is in the vicinity of the ELAN electronic equipment
because of risk of fire or explosion.
Cleaning—Unplug the apparatus from the power outlet before cleaning. Use only a dry cloth to clean the apparatus.
Power Lines—An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding—If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to these audio products, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the U.S. National Electrical Code, and Section 54 of the
Grounding
Diagram
ANTENNA
LEAD-IN WIRE
Canadian Electrical Code, provide information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
See the grounding diagram (right).
Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this could
result in fire or electric shock.
Object and Liquid Entry—Never insert objects of any kind through the

openings of these appliances, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or
short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the appliance through openings in the enclosure.
Servicing—Do not attempt to service these appliances yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Damage Requiring Service—These appliances should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
• A power supply connection or a plug has been damaged or
• If liquid has been spilled into the appliance or objects have fallen into the appliance or
• The appliance has been exposed to water or moisture or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance or
• The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
Replacement Parts—When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts speci-
fied by the manufacturer or that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards. The Master Control Unit battery should be replaced only after turning the power off and only by an authorized
installer.
Safety Check—Upon completion of any service or repairs to this audio product, ask the service technician to perform safety
checks to determine that the audio product is in proper operating condition.
Lightning Storms—Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Attachments and Accessories—Use only attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Cart, Stand, Tripod, Bracket or Table—Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip over.
Disconnect Device—Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device
shall remain operable.

2. Control Connections & Settings
Control Connections - IR
There are two IR pathways into the V883 - the 3.5mm IR IN port on the rear and the
IR Receiver on the front. The IR OUT port passes out any IR signal that is sent to the
V883’s rear IR IN port or the front IR Receiver.
IR IN Port
Most ELAN multi-room applications will utilize the rear IR IN port for IR control. Use
a 3.5mm mono interconnect cable to connect between an IR OUT port (typically an
‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V883. In this
confi guration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent
to the V883.

IR Receiver
Use the built-in IR Receiver located on the front of the unit when utilizing hand-held
IR remotes, IR distribution systems, or when it is otherwise not possible to connect
to the IR IN port. IR commands can be sent from a distance using a hand-held IR
remote or IR “blaster”. Use a standard IR mini-emitter placed directly over the
V883’s IR receiver when used in conjunction with most IR distribution networks.

IR OUT Port
Any IR signal that is sent into the V883 through the IR IN port or IR Receiver is passed
out of the IR OUT port. Use the IR OUT port to link multiple V883s or as a convenient
way to send signals to additional IR controlled devices, or to IR distribution products
such as ELAN’s IRD4 Amplified IR Connection Block, as shown below.

Control Connections - RS-232
Use the SERIAL PORTS when a computer or third-party RS-232 controller will be
used to control the V883. When using ELAN devices like the VIA!2-SS1, VIA!SC-4, or
VIA! Touch Panels, it is best to use VIA!NET to control the V883.
