Features and Benefits:
The DMS-OUT is loaded with features designed to provide the best audio experience. Enjoy features such as:
●3rd Party Room Linking: When connected to a 3rd Party AVR, the DMS-OUT allows this device to become a DMS Zone. All DMS Zones provide the ability to link zones
together and control a single menu for volume of individual or all linked zones.
●Fixed or Variable Output Settings: The DMS-OUT allows for fixed or variable volume control. When set to variable the 3rd party AVR controls the audio level settings.
When set to fixed the DMS-OUT controls the audio level settings.
●3rd Party Volume Pop-Up: In conjunction with supported 3rd Party AVRs, the DMS-OUT creates a basic and simple volume pop-up menu that provides real time two-
way feedback and control of volume and mute.
●3rd Party Audio Device Integration
DMS-OUT grants 3rd party devices the ability to use sources that are available from DMS Audio Streams.
●Flexible Power Source
Use the supplied 5V DC power adapter or take advantage of the DMS-OUT’s PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability using CAT 5/6 wiring.

Parts & Pieces:
Contained within the DMS-OUT box:
●1x DMS-OUT device
●1x 5V DC Power Adapter
●1x Wall Mount
●4x Mounting Screws
Requirements:
As with all Total Control products, the DMS-OUT is not a plug-and-play device. It
requires programming by a certified Total Control programmer to function properly.
Be sure the system contains at least one (1) of the following:
●MFS-8 or MFS-POE8
●MRX Advanced System Controller
●URC Interface (TRC, TKP, or URC Mobile 2.0 devices)
DMS Room Linking:
The DMS-OUT permits 3rd party AVRs to “link” with other DMS Zones. Doing so creates
a volume pop-up menu providing feedback to control volume of all linked rooms as well
as individual rooms.
Receive real-time two-way feedback on:
●Power Status
●Volume
●Mute Status

3
Rear Panel Description:
The following section defines all the outputs available on the rear panel of the DMS-OUT.
5V DC Input:
Provides power to the DMS-OUT. PoE may be used as a substitute.
Analog Output:
Standard RCA out (analog) connector.

4
Digital Output - Optical:
This input uses standard S/PDIF Optical TOSLINK connector.
The DMS-IN/OUT converts Dolby Digital
5.1/DTS 5.1 to a 2.0 Stereo DMS Stream.
Digital Output - Coax:
Standard Digital Coax connector.
The DMS-IN/OUT converts Dolby Digital
5.1/DTS 5.1 to a 2.0 Stereo DMS Stream.

5
LAN Port:
This 10/100 Ethernet port supports PoE and connects to the URC Audio streams on
the local network. This is also how the DMS-OUT receives commands and
sends audio.
The DMS-OUT does not support a wireless
(Wi-Fi) network connection.

6
Top Panel & LED States:
There are three (3) LED lights at the top of the DMS-OUT which can provide users with
basic and troubleshooting information.
Status LED:
●Off: Unit has no been programmed with a Total Control file.
●Yellow: Unit has been programmed with a Total Control file; however, it is
not creating a DMS Audio Stream.
●Blue: Unit has been programmed with a Total Control file and is creating a
DMS Audio Stream through the network.
Power LED:
●Off: Unit is not receiving power.
●Blue: Unit is receiving power via 5V DC adapter or PoE.

7
Network LED:
●Off: Unit is not connected to the local area network (LAN) and cannot
receive data.
●Blinking Green: Unit is connected to the local network (LAN), but has not
received an IP address.
●Green: Unit is connected to the local network (LAN) and has an IP address.
Bottom Panel Description:
Located beneath the DMS-OUT is a Reset button. This button is recessed so use a
paperclip or something similar to press the button.
●Rebooting the DMS-OUT: A momentary press of the Reset button reboots the
DMS-OUT, similar to unplugging it from the power supply.
●Factory Default: Press and hold the Reset button for 10 seconds or longer to
default the unit. If factory defaulted the DMS-OUT requires re-programming.

Wiring the DMS-OUT:
Follow these steps to prepare the DMS–OUT for programming:
1. Power the DMS-OUT with the supplied 5V DC adapter OR using PoE through
the LAN port.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the LAN 10/100 port to an LAN port (1-8)
MFS-8/MFSPOE-8
●5V DC adapter is not required when using PoE.
