PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The TSV-E5 is a full-featured color touchscreen for Russound E-Series
multiroom systems. It includes a comprehensive suite of features with enhanced
source control functions and display options. Mounting options allow the
TSV-E5 to be conveniently located virtually anywhere.
Intended for use as a integrated control interface for the multiroom system,
the TSV-E5 allows complete control of all sources from one location. Its display
is large enough to provide easy access to all system features, yet small enough
to fit most multiroom applications.
For maximum convenience, TSV-E5 touchscreens can be used anywhere
system keypads would be. The TSV-E5 connects with a single CAT-5e cable to
provide enhanced information and zone control.
The touchscreen will also support IR commands sent with the HHR-E5 and
RFR-E5 (in local IR mode) remote controls.
The TSV-E5 offers the following features:
Large-format 8.4" (21.3 cm) color display•
Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer•
Displays digital video feeds from IP based cameras•
Shows images from assigned IP camera when doorbell is pressed•
Connection via single CAT-5e cable•
Remote IR receiver input•
In conjunction with the SMS3 Media Server, you can add, change, or•
delete selections from pre-existing themes, as well as change the ratings
to play songs more or less often
A number of web widgets to show news, weather, and sports•
Definitions
Widget: A widget is a means of having information or controls in a convenient
one touch tool. Common examples of widgets include weather guides, news
feeds, sports score trackers, clocks, and system controls, as well as a means of
monitoring your IP cameras. The TSV-E5 has a select group of widgets available
to be configured on the home screen.
Care
It is important to take proper care of the screen to maintain the best image
contrast and color viewing for the product’s life. Do not use sharp objects on
the touchscreen. Finger presses or a soft stylus is recommended. Keep the
face of the touchscreen clean. From time to time, wipe the face with a clean soft
cloth. Don’t use abrasive materials, thinners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents
or materials. Common glass and non-abrasive household cleaners may be used.
Spray the cleaner on the cloth, not directly on the unit.
The back of the unit will be warm to the touch. This is normal and does not
indicate any problem.
