5Russound DMS-3.1 Installation Manual
Introduction
Russound’s DMS-3.1 is a digital media streaming device that is capable of
playing digital audio content from various sources. Streaming refers to the
delivery method of the content rather than to the content itself. Based on
the installation method, the DMS-3.1 can play a wide variety of content for
your listening pleasure. Software upgradable, your DMS-3.1 will support new
features as they become available.
The DMS-3.1 has three separate streaming media players with corresponding
analog audio outputs that can feed multiple ampliers. This allows
independent content selection by dierent rooms simultaneously.
The DMS-3.1 is an AirPlay accessory that can stream audio content from
AirPlay enabled sources such as an Apple iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad that
is running iOS 4.2 or greater. In addition, computers running iTunes 10 or
newer can stream content via AirPlay to the DMS-3.1. AirPlay will override
any selected source of audio content currently playing on any of the three
streaming outputs.
The DMS-3.1 is connected to the Local Area Network in a home via a
hardwired Ethernet connection for access to digital audio content. If used with
a C-Series controller and a supported user interface, the DMS-3.1 can access
and playback digital audio les from LAN connected DLNA / UPnP media
servers. Additionally, if connected to the internet and used with a C-Series
controller and supported user interface, the DMS-3.1 can stream content
from SIRIUS Internet Radio service and have access to thousands of streaming
internet radio stations from around the world.
A built-in AM/FM tuner with RDS feedback adds local radio as a listening
choice, and USB ports accept connections from USB storage devices using
FAT16 and FAT32 le formats for audio content playback if used with a C-Series
controller and supported user interface.
Rack Mounting
The DMS-3.1 can be rack mounted using the included rack-mount ears and
hardware. The unit will take up one rack space.

FRONT AND BACK PANEL FEATURES
Power LED
The Power LED is lit solid red when the DMS-3.1 is powered on. This LED
can also indicate other DMS-3.1 status information as described under Status
Indication section at the end of this manual.
Power switch
Turns the streamer on/o. This switch does not disconnect the main power
feed; this requires that the power cord be unplugged from the outlet.
Front panel USB port input
The front panel USB port corresponds to Stream 1 for playback of digital
audio les from connected storage devices such as hard drives and ash
memory devices.
Ethernet port
The Ethernet connection provides the link for the DMS-3.1 to the network
for control and access to content. For AirPlay use, the DMS-3.1 must be on
the same network as the AirPlay source. If used with a C-Series controller, the
DMS-3.1 requires a connection to the same network for control and displaying
metadata on keypads and touch screens. RJ45 Ethernet port supports
10/100BASE-T connectivity for TCP/IP communication over the Local Area
Network (LAN) with other devices and to the internet.
There are two LEDs on the Ethernet port of the DMS-3.1 that indicate the
status of the network connection. These are described under Status Indication
section at the end of this manual.
AUX USB port for rmware updates
The AUX USB port supports rmware updates from a USB drive. This port does
not support music playback.
12VDC trigger in/out
The 12VDC Trigger input is not used at this time for the DMS-3.1 but any
connection made to this will be passed through to the output.
Audio output
There are 4 sets of stereo RCA audio outputs to connect the DMS-3.1 to an
audio system. One for each of the three streams and one for the AM/FM tuner.
Source ID switch
There are 4 Source ID switches on the DMS-3.1 that correspond with the
three streaming modules and the built-in AM/FM tuner. Each switch must be
set to a unique value so that no two are the same. This will ensure that each
is identied separately for AirPlay use. If the DMS-3.1 is used with a C-Series
controller, each switch value must correspond to the conguration settings of
the controller for proper source identication and communication.
Back panel USB port input
The back panel USB ports correspond to Stream 2 and Stream 3 for playback
of digital audio les from connected storage devices such as hard drives and
ash memory devices.
FM antenna connection
The FM antenna connects to the F-type coax connection.
AM antenna connection
The AM loop antenna connects to the GND (ground) and AM spring
terminals.
AC input
Voltage is autoswitching for 100V to 240V operation 50-60 Hz. This receptacle
accepts a 3-prong IEC 320 type connector. A detachable 3-terminal power cord
is included.

8 Russound DMS-3.1 Installation Manual
STANDALONE APPLICATION
The DMS-3.1 can be used in standalone mode solely as an Apple AirPlay
device. The DMS-3.1 must be on the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the
AirPlay enabled source of the content that is to be streamed.
In a standalone conguration, the DMS-3.1 audio outputs are connected
directly to the audio inputs of an audio receiver or multichannel amplier
(shown) which will power the speakers located in dierent rooms of the
home. In this conguration, only content received from an AirPlay enabled
device will be available for playback.
The DMS-3.1 source ID switches will assign a unique name to each stream for
identication within the list of AirPlay speakers from you can stream content
to. On the AirPlay enabled source, press the AirPlay button [AirPlay icon
here] to select the stream on the DMS-3.1 which you wish to send content
to. Note that iTunes permits streaming of content to one or multiple AirPlay
speaker locations while iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad can stream to a single
AirPlay speaker location only. If using a Russound user interface, ‘AirPlay’ will
be displayed during use and the AirPlay stream will override any other mode
currently in use on the DMS-3.1.

user interfaces to access all features and provide amplication for speakers in
multiple locations. Use standard RCA audio patch cables to connect the audio
outputs of the DMS-3.1 to the source inputs on the C-Series controller.
For proper operation with C-Series controllers, the DMS-3.1 source ID
switches need to be set to correspond to the source inputs used on the
C-Series controller. These settings must match the C-Series controller system
conguration programmed through SCS-C5 software.

10 Russound DMS-3.1 Installation Manual
ETHERNET CONNECTION
The DMS-3.1 requires an Ethernet connection to the same Local Area Network
(LAN) on which reside any AirPlay sources and if used, any DLNA / UPnP Media
servers and C-Series controllers. This permits the devices to communicate
to deliver content, metadata, and control data. Internet access on the LAN is
required for streaming content from any online services.
The DMS-3.1 requires a DHCP enabled router to obtain its IP address on the
LAN as it does not directly support conguration of a static IP address. The LAN
must support a minimum of 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet and is recommended to
have a rewall enabled for security purposes. A standard CAT5 Ethernet patch
cable that is terminated with RJ45 ends in a straight through arrangement is
used to connect the DMS-3.1 to the network.

Content on a USB storage device such as portable hard disk drive can be
accessed by simply connecting it to one of the three USB ports on the DMS-3.1.
The USB storage device used must be formatted for a FAT16 or FAT32 le
system. These are the most common le storage systems used today.
Note that each USB port corresponds to one of the three streams and content
will be accessible through that stream only.
Both Media Server and USB modes of playback will use the menu/le
structure presented by the source of the content. Essentially, the list of folders
and les being determined by the storage device can vary based on the
particular device and organization method used when storing les on them.
Because of this, some folders may be visible that aren’t related to music such as
Photos or Movies but only compatible music les within them will be displayed
by the DMS-3.1 for selection.

WARRANTY
Warranty
The Russound DMS-3.1 is fully guaranteed against all defects in materials
and workmanship for two (2) years from the date of purchase. During this
period, Russound will replace any defective parts and correct any defect in
workmanship without charge for either parts or labor.
For this warranty to apply, the unit must be installed and used according
to its written instructions. If service is necessary, it must be performed by
Russound. The unit must be returned to Russound at the owner’s expense and
with prior written permission. Accidental damage and shipping damage are
not considered defects, nor is damage resulting from abuse or from servicing
by an agency or person not specically authorized in writing by Russound.
This Warranty does not cover:
• Damage caused by abuse, accident, misuse, negligence, or improper
installation or operation
• Power surges and lightning strikes
• Normal wear and maintenance
• Products that have been altered or modied
• Any product whose identifying number, decal, serial number, etc. has been
altered, defaced or removed.
Russound sells products only through authorized Dealers and Distributors
to ensure that customers obtain proper support and service. Any Russound
product purchased from an unauthorized dealer or other source, including
retailers, mail order sellers and online sellers will not be honored or serviced
under existing Russound warranty policy. Any sale of products by an
unauthorized source or other manner not authorized by Russound shall void
the warranty on the applicable product.
Damage to or destruction of components due to application of excessive
power voids the warranty on those parts. In these cases, repairs will be made
on the basis of the retail value of the parts and labor. To return for repairs,
the unit must be shipped to Russound at the owner’s expense, along with a
note explaining the nature of service required. Be sure to pack the unit in a
corrugated container with at least three (3) inches of resilient material to
protect the unit from damage in transit.
