Configuring manual RF sync

The manual RF sync mode is recommended for multi-room installations with multiple RF groups.

That way you can avoid receivers from one location synchronizing with receivers from other locations.

If master and follower are not conf i gur ed and synchronized properly, considerable distortion of the audio transmission can occur.
Please observe the following aspects:
  • Always configure the RF groups by location, that means all receivers of one location together.
  • Define only one receiver as the master receiver for the location.
  • Always configure one location at a time, one after another.
  • Make sure to leave the master receiver switched on all the time.
  • Alternatively, switch all receivers of one location on or off together using a multi-outlet power strip.
In order to configure a manual RF snyc:
  1. Navigate to the Locations view.
  2. Select all devices of one location by clicking on the name of the location.
    The Device List opens with a multi selection of all devices of that location.
  3. Open Properties > RF Settings on the selected device(s).
  4. Click Edit to configure the settings.
  5. In the Mode drop-down select Manual.
  6. In the Master drop-down select the receiver you want to define as master for this RF group.
    All other receivers of the selection will automatically be set as followers.
  7. Make sure to select the master receiver from the From selection list.
    The selection comprises all receivers of that location. When defining the RF group per location, as recommended, the master needs to be part of that group.
    If the Rack Receiver and the Multi Channel Receiver are used in one RF group, the RF synchronisation of the receivers must be configured separ at el y under Properties > RF Settings by device type.
    The From existing masters list shows other receivers which have also been defined as master receivers, but which are part of other RF groups in other locations.
  8. Choose a master from that list only if you want to configure a different setup, e. g. adding a mobile rack, which is configured as a proper location, to a certain other location.
    Only devices with Manual RF sync mode are listed here. Devices with Automatic RF sync mode are not listed here.
  9. Click OK to save the settings.
    After defining the master receiver, all receivers of that location will be restarted.

    The RF Sync properties box underneath the Device List in the Properties -> System tab will display the status information of the selected devices. All selected receivers are indicated with a blue dot. If the dot is grey, the receiver is not part of the selection.

The automatic RF Sync has been configurated successfully.

If the RF sync setup is not ok, errors will be displayed in this properties box as well. For details, see Troubleshooting for RF sync.
