PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Russound®CAV6.6-S2 System to enhance your home with distributed
audio and video. This system’s state-of-the-art features and components blend seamlessly with your
unique lifestyle and preferences.
Besides distributing and controlling six A/V sources to six rooms (zones), your CAV6.6-S2 System
offers many features that increase your enjoyment of living. Here are several features that you may
find particularly beneficial.
Favorites
The UNO
TM
-S2 keypad’s F1 and F2 buttons are preset favorites. These easy-to-set buttons make it
possible to hear your favorite radio station or watch your favorite satellite channel at just the
right volume in your room with just a button push. Want something new? Just re-save the Favorite
with a new choice.
Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb mode prevents unwanted interruptions in your room and stops changes to your
selected A/V source. You may have a nursery or study that you want to keep quiet, or maybe you are
watching a DVD and don’t want it interrupted. Simply set the Do Not Disturb mode to “on” using the
User Menu, and be free from paging, Party Mode interaction and system-wide functions like “All On”
or “All Off.”
Party Mode
Ready to set the mood? In Party Mode, you just pick the source and the sound settings and hear the
music throughout all the rooms. The Master keypad simultaneously controls all the keypads in all the
rooms to effortlessly select or control the components. A great benefit of the Party Mode feature is
the ability to transfer the Master keypad mode to any keypad in the system. If the living room is the
center of the party, use that room’s keypad as Master. If the party moves to the sunroom and porch,
that room’s keypad can be set to Master instead.
Front (Aux) A/V In
This handy feature lets you easily hook up an additional temporary audio/video source through the
front of the controller. This way, your teenager can set up a game console when his friends come
over, and easily take it down without having to leave the games set up in the living room. Or your
family can watch the video camera playback of the holiday gathering while everyone is still there.
Here at Russound we are proud to continue providing innovative and intuitive A/V product solutions to
the world. When you link the industry-leading CAV6.6-S2 system with Russound’s commitment to its
products and customers, you have truly made – “the right connection.”

INSTALLER
GETTING STARTED
Unpacking the System Components
• Keep the original carton and packing materials
for future shipment or storage.
• Check for any visible signs of damage. If
you encounter any concealed damage, consult your Russound dealer before proceeding
to install the unit.
• Retain the sales receipt as it establishes the
duration of the limited warranty and provides
information for insurance purposes.
CAV6.6-S2 System Components:
• 1 (one) CAV6.6 Controller/Amplifier
• 6 (six) UNO-S2 System Control Keypads
• 1 (one) UNO-LRC1 Learning/Preprogrammed
Remote Control
• 6 (six) 845.1 Micro Emitters
Tools needed for installation:
• Drill with a 1/2” x 6” drill bit
• Keyhole saw
• Flat head screwdriver (medium size)
• Phillips Screwdriver (cordless recommended)
• 110 punchdown tool (included)
• Modular RJ-45 crimper and connectors
• Pair of diagonal cutters or wire strippers
• Stud finder
• Steel wire fish tape
• Cable staples
• PLASTIC double-gang electrical work boxes
System Installation Considerations
There are several factors to consider before
installing the Russound CAV6.6-S2 system:
• What are the intended listening zones, and
what zones require audio and video distribution
or audio only?
• Are A-BUS
®
sub-zones needed? A-BUS subzones are only available for zones 1 - 4. The AKP2 amplified keypad can provide direct source
selection for only the first four sources when in
‘Multi’ source mode.
• What system options and accessories might
be required for features such as paging, local
sources, etc.?
• From where in each zone will the user prefer
to control the system? Where will the keypads
be located? Where will the speakers be located?
• Where will the source equipment be located?
The CAV6.6 must have proper ventilation above
and below for air circulation and heat dissipation.
A rack-mount location may require fans and vents.
Connection Tips
• It is recommended that the CAV6.6 and the
source equipment be plugged into a dedicated
20-amp circuit with an isolated ground. A power
line conditioner can reduce interference problems caused by noise found in some electrical
systems.
• Disconnect all live power cords before making
connections to the controller.
• Verify that all connections and polarity are
correct.
• Keep all power cords away from all signal
cables to prevent humming from induced noise.
• Choose reliable signal cables/patch cords.
• Label all wires with room location at both ends
of the wire.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
RJ-45 Connections
The CAT-5 T568A wiring standard shown on the right is used
for the RJ-45 terminations.
Keypad Wiring
For the UNO keypad, the following connections
are used to terminate the CAT-5 wire to the 110
punchdown on the keypad:
CA
T-5 WIRE COLOR TYPE
Brown . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V
Brown/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . . +12V
Green . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ground
Green/White. . . . . . . . . . . . Status In

Blue . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM A
Blue/White . . . . . . . . . . . . . . COM B
• To determine the amount of CAT-5 wire
required for the system installation, first
decide how many keypads will be used, then
determine the distance between each intended keypad location to the intended CAV6.6
location. The maximum recommended wire
run length is 250 feet for each UNO Keypad.
• Make sure that the entire wire path
between keypads and CAV6.6 is clear and
not obstructed by a floor ceiling joist, or
masonry wall which can’t be drilled through.
• Confirm ahead of time that you can drill an
outlet hole easily and in an unobtrusive spot
to connect wires with the CAV6.6.
• Label wires with keypad and room location.
This simplifies CAV6.6 hook-up once the keypads and speakers are installed.
• If you plan to use an additional IR receiver
with an UNO keypad, first determine the location of the IR receiver, then measure the distance from the intended location to the UNO
keypad location. Incorporating optional IR
receivers will require additional wire. Consult
the selected IR receiver model’s manual for
the specific wire needs.
Speaker Wiring
• Standard 16-gauge 4-conductor stranded
speaker wire can be run up to to 125 feet;
14-gauge wire can be run up to 250 feet.
• When running wire, pay particular attention
to the following areas:
• Avoid locations concealing pipes, heating
ducts and AC wiring in the general vicinity.
• Avoid running wires close to house electrical wiring for any distance. If you have to run
them parallel, make sure to space the wires
at least two feet from the AC line.

Keypad Location
The best infrared remote performance is achieved
with the keypad away from any direct sunlight,
plasma TV, and low voltage lighting controls. Also
consider convenience when choosing a location.
Choose a place that is easily seen from the position where a person is most likely to be located.
Check whether or not you can route the wire to
the location you have chosen.
Keypad Installation
To install a double-gang keypad, you will need to
use a UL/CSA approved plastic double-gang
electrical box (Do not use metal boxes).
Route CAT-5 wire to the junction box from the
CAV6.6.
Use the supplied 110 punchdown tool to connect each wire to its corresponding color
labeled on the punchdown terminal.
Ensure jumper settings on keypads are in the
run positions.
Mount the keypad in the electrical box and
attach the cover plate. Repeat the steps until all
keypads are installed.

CAT-5 Connection
The UNO-S2 Keypad uses a 110-punchdown
terminal to provide a simple installation and
strong connection for CAT-5 cable’s eight conductors. Punchdown terminals require the use of
a punchdown tool which has been provided with
the keypad kit. Attach the CAT-5 cable to the
110-punchdown terminal on the UNO-S2 Keypad
as shown, matching the conductor colors to the
connection color guide. The keypad will not
operate properly if the terminations deviate from
the required connection order.
Caution:
Take care when using an impact 110 punchdown
tool, as this may overspread the contact points.
Use of the impact tool may propel stray bits of wire
and jacket into the keypad’s chassis and possibly
cause a short in the circuitry. Gently shake or blow
air through the keypad chassis to remove stray wire
before the keypad is installed into the junction box.
OS Update Port
The OS Update Port is is used to update the
UNO-S2 Keypad operating system software in
the future. When an update is released, it will be
available online through the Document Center at
www.russound.com.
Look for the Technical
Documents under Multi-source/Multi-room products. The programming cable is available from
Russound, Part #2500-120633.
Jumper Setting
The jumper settings on the back of the UNO-S2
Keypad can be set for “Run” and “OS Update.” The
jumper setting must be in the “Run” position before
the keypad is mounted into the junction box, and
must remain set in “Run” to operate the keypad.
The jumper will be set to “OS Update” only while
updating the keypad’s operating systems.

The UNO-S2 keypad has an External IR Receiver
In terminal for connecting an external IR receiver
such as the Russound SaphIR 858, 862 Eye, or
860 Phantom. Use 2 twisted pair wire with
one pair connecting GND (GROUND) and IR (SIGNAL) and the other pair connecting ST (STATUS)
and V+ (+12VDC). If the wire has a shield, connect it to ground at the UNO-S2 only.

The UNO System Keypad Ports are located on
the back of the CAV6.6 in the top left corner.
Connections made at the UNO Keypad Ports are
made using CAT-5 T568A RJ-45 wire configuration. CAT-5 is color-coded for ease of installation. For a clean installation when wiring from an
UNO System Keypad Port use an RJ-45 CAT-5
patch cable to connect from the keypad port to
an RJ-45 Wall Plate (optional). Using the same
CAT-5 T568A RJ-45 wiring configuration, use
CAT-5 from the RJ-45 Wall Plate to the keypad.
If using more than one keypad on a zone, connect a SA-ZX3 UNO System Keypad Splitter
(optional) directly to the UNO System Keypad
Port instead of going through the wall plate.
Always use the CAT-5 T568A RJ-45 wire configuration when wiring any of the UNO System
Keypad Ports.

The CAV6.6 supports up to six audio/video
sources. The Source Inputs are located at the
back panel. Connect each source output using
quality RCA signal cables. Connect the Video, and
the Left and Right Audio outputs from each
source to the corresponding inputs on the
CAV6.6 controller. Label each cable with the
name of the selected source and the Source
Audio/Video input number located on the CAV6.6.
Source IR Connections
Each source component has a designated IR
port on the back of the CAV6.6. This IR port is
directly below the Source Audio/Video
Input/Output Connections.
1. Using an IR emitter (the Russound 845.1 is
recommended) attach the end of the emitter
with the 1/8
”
plug to the IR emitter port below
the source input.
2. Remove the adhesive back at the other end
of the emitter and attach the emitter over the
source component’s IR window.
3. In order to control this source component
with IR, the source must be selected at the keypad receiving the command.
