Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Mercury® Audio System. The multi-room audio system provides the versatility of controlling music played in different areas of a property; from the living areas to the bathroom, and even the garden! Installing these systems facilitates a new level of luxury for the property owner, affording the exibility of selecting which sounds they want to listen to, where and when.

Listen to your music from any room in your home, any time!

• Listen to four individual sources simultaneously.

• Create the perfect mood by playing your favourite playlist throughout the entire house for your whole family to enjoy. Classical in the lounge, blues in the kitchen, and rap in the kids room - all at the same time.

• Control your music via your iPhone, iPod or iPad, a wall mounted controller or remote control from multiple sources, including your MP3 player.

• The Hamilton multi-room music systems make it easy to listen to your entire music collection from anywhere in your home.

• Control your Skybox, using the IR remote via the wall plate.

In the box

• Mercury MRA4 Audio System hub.

• Power supply lead.

• Yellow CAT5 cable (for initial system testing of Control Plates).

• RCA to 3.5mm Jack audio cable.

• Wall mounting template.

• Mercury IR remote control (batteries included).

• 1x wall mounting kit including 3x M8 40mm dome head screws and 3x brown rawl plugs.

If any of the items above were not in the master pack when originally opened, please call Hamilton Litestat on 01747 860088 and ask for technical support or email technical @hamilton-litestat.com.

Thank you again for purchasing your Mercury® Audio System.

Initial system test set-up using Mercury® control plates

See diagram on page 5

• Connect the supplied CAT5 cable to the audio system through control plate 1 port. Then connect the CAT5 cable to the wall plate.

• Set the dip switch on the back of the plate to zone 1.

• Connect 1 speaker into the zone 1 speaker outputs.

• Connect the supplied 3.5mm jack to RCA cable to audio source 4 and connect any portable audio source (mp3 player or smart phone are ideal).

• Connect power supply lead to audio system.

• Turn the system on at the main switch by the power lead terminal.

• Using the connected control plate press ‘source 4’

• You should now hear the music from your connected device being played though the speaker.

Trouble shooting

If you don’t hear the connected audio source:

• Ensure the volume is tuned up on the control plate

• Ensure the volume is tuned up on the Source device

• Check ALL connections. Ensure the source device is connected to ‘Source 4’ and ‘Source 4’ is selected on your control plate.

This initial set up is a simple, quick, and reliable way to set up your Mercury Multi-Room Audio System. It is also a good way of testing any connection or multiple accessories for larger installations. The system is designed to be adaptable and can be expanded once a basic installation is up and running.
