Quick Start Guide - part A for the set-up of the Revox M51 and M100 Multiuser modules
This quick start guide covers the set-up and operation of the Multiuser modules for the Revox M51 and Revox M100 Hi-Fi
systems. The Multiuser modules now make it possible to integrate these Hi-Fi systems as a power amplifier into the Revox
Multiuser system. They are registered in the system like a V219 amplifier and can also be accessed with the various remote
controls as well as with the Multiuser app.
M51 Multiuser Module
1. In one M51 there can either be the Multiuser module (VOX+1) or a Multiroom module (MTR)
installed. Both modules must not be installed at the same time. A look into the version list of the
setup menu provides clarity.
2. The Multiuser module is located in slot 5. Using other slots may result in errors.
3. The 5.1 decoder module of the generation 2 and 3 is supported within the Multiuser system. The
software version has to be 2.01 or higher. These versions are available with Release no. 2.6.1.B0
in the new M51-Programmer Tool as well as in the M-Scope software.
4. All the Multiuser and 5.1 Decoder modules that were delivered before February 2017 must first
receive an update with the M51-Programmer Tool so that they can be updated with the M-Scope
Bootloader tool in the installed state afterwards.
5. After a successful update, the following or higher software versions should be displayed:
Note: The Revox M202 Ethernet interface is not required for the operation of the Multiuser system
M100 Multiuser sub-module
1. In one M100 there can either be the Multiuser sub-module (VOX+1) or a Multiroom module (MTR) installed. Both
modules must not be installed at the same time. A look into the version list of the setup menu provides clarity.
2. The Multiuser sub-module is located in the inner part of the M100. The installation may only be carried out by a
specialist, since the device must be opened and safety and ESD guidelines must be observed.
3. In order for the M100 to function correctly in conjunction with the Multiuser submodule, a check of the software
versions should be carried out via the M-Scope bootloader and, if necessary, an update should be carried out. For the
Mutltiuser submodule there is a new M51-Programmer as well as an M-Scope with the Release no. 2.6.1 B0 available.
4. After a successful update, the following or higher software versions should be displayed:

Configuration of the Multiuser modules
The Multiuser modules for the M51 and M100 require the Revox Voxnet Server software 2.1.0 r6 or higher with the
Synology OS DSM 6+. You can easily check which version is actually installed on your Voxnet Server within the Package
Center of the Synology NAS drive. Should there be an older version installed, please update. You can find out how to do this
in section B, from page 9 of this quick start manual.
The integration of the M51/ M100 into the Multiuser System is carried out in the same way as the V219 Multiuser amplifiers
via the Voxnet configurator . The Multiuser module signs in with the identifier M-Card and can be configured within a few
steps.
Configuration : room amplifier
Name: Device name for App display
Alias: Name for Voxnet Text programming
Configuration : source
Name: Device name for App display
Alias: Name for Voxnet Text programming
Configuration : timer
The Multiuser module has 4 timers (alarm clocks), which are only visible in the App.
The 4 timers within the configurator are assigned to the Voxnet Server.
Configuration : proxy
There are 3 proxies for each multiuser module available, which can be used to control external products/ devices – see
also the Voxnet Configurator user manual for more information.

Configuration : trigger
Room Trigger
This trigger executes commands if the operational state (standby / operational) of the M51/ M100 changes. Here, an on
command can be defined if the amplifier switches out of standby mode (it is irrelevant what caused the switch-on). The
off command is executed if the amplifier switches from active operation to standby mode.
Source Trigger
The source trigger reacts in a similar way to the room trigger. For certain sources of the M51 modules and M100 sub
modules an on and an off action can be defined for certain inputa. The on command is executed if, independent of the
cause, the corresponding input is activated. The off command is executed if the corresponding input was active and now
has been deselected through another source being played. Switching the M51/ M100 off also activates the off command
if previously, the source input was playing.
Note: The off command is not triggered as long as the corresponding source is playing in other rooms, i.e. the Source
command is not limited to the M51/ M100 where, for example, the source is installed.
In the menu Source Trigger there are 8 triggers [Source 1-8] for each Multiuser module with an on- and off command available. The
triggers are individually configured for each M51 / M100.

M51 trigger assignment
For the M51 trigger there is a slot selection [Slot 1-4 ] with a source selection [Input 1-4]. Since the slots of the M51 are freely
selectable, the various modules are defined as documented in the table below:
Input (Trigger]
Tuner (FMT-1)
1.551.080.00

1.551.080.01

Note:
Slot 6 is not supported by source triggers; Slot 7 is reserved for the 5.1 decoder module and is also not supported. The
Multiuser module (MUS) must be installed in Slot 5. Shaded sources (e.g. available at the tuner I/O module) do not change
the input order.
Other modules / sources (such as the digital sources of the 5.1 decoder module) are not supported in the Multiuser system.

M100 trigger assignment
If the slot M100 is selected, 4 sources are available from the M100 base system.
These are: Aux 1,Aux 2,Tuner,CD.
Other modules / sources, e.g. the digital sources Opto or Coax, are not supported in the Multiuser system.

RC5 Trigger
The RC5 trigger is based on RC5 (IR) codes that are sent to the Voxnet system either from the integrated IR receiver of the
M51/ M100 or the wall-mounted keypad V218 (via M201, M203, M200 interface). With the RC M100, RC 117 and the
teachable M208 and S208, Revox offers a range of RC5 remote controls that can be deployed easily in the Voxnet system.
Important note RC5 Codes
In opposite to the Multiroom system of the M series, all incoming IR codes will be directly passed to the Voxnet Server to
execute (trigger) actions if required. Therefore you should split the RC5 codes into to two divisions of RC5 addresses, one
for purposes of the Multiuser System and one for local sources of the M51/ M100 [ > Setup > Remote].The last ones can
be e.g. digital sources for the TV sound, which can not be imported into the Multiuser System.
Regardless of whether the commands are used globally or locally, they must appear in the list of the RC5-triggers of the
M51. This means that even a command that is used only for the call of the optical digital input must be listed in the RC5
trigger list.
Commands created using Voxnet text are assigned to the RC5 codes [Address + OpCode] in the RC5 trigger setup.
For convenience, Revox developed two RC5-trigger files for direct import with the configurator.

Buttons can have two commands assigned. In this way, for example, with a short press on the Off button the room is
switched off and with a longer press, the complete system, is switched off - see OFF and Sys Off above.

Button generator
There is the button generator for a quick way of creating button commands that are relevant for the Voxnet 218 wall-
mounted keyboard.
The Voxnet 218 has 4 pre-prepared RC5 code versions (see next page for Code Pages), that can be set directly through the
DIL switches on the rear of the printed circuit board on the wall-mounted keypad.
The button generator is started with the icon in the Configurator. All 4 possible Voxnet 218 wall-mounted keypad code
pages are displayed and you can make a mouse-click on one of the 10 buttons that you want to use for an RC5 command. A
new line is generated in the top line of the RC5 command list with the corresponding RC5 address and command. Now, a new
name and the desired button mode together with the command that is to be executed, can be defined. The new entry can be
applied with the üicon or deleted again with ×. The button generator can be hidden again by clicking on .
Normally, only one code page is used per RC5 trigger.
Voxnet 218 RC5 codes [Address] [Command]
The Code Page option for the Voxnet 218 wall-mounted keypad was introduced with software version 218-2 1.00. Four
different Code Pages can be selected through DIL switches 3 and 4 on the rear of the Voxnet 218 wall-mounted keypad - see
next page. To access the switches, uninstall the keypad and remove the plastic cover on the rear. The desired Code Page can
now be set using a small screwdriver. When the cover has been removed, you should observe the current ESE regulations, in
order not to damage the electronics.
