Before You Start
The Wireless Extender is an important element of the RC9001 and makes it possible to
control A/V equipment via RF in the entire house.
In order to use the Extender in a wireless Network:
•Configure the Extender: connect it to the PC and use the Configuration Tool.
•Install the Extender: connect it to external A/V equipment, like a TV or receiver.
The Extender can be used in two ways:
Stand-alone Mode
This is the so-called ‘Ad-Hoc Mode’: a router is not required.
Stand-alone Advantages:
• The Extender is easily configured and installed.
• It operates independently from other networks and network settings.
Refer to the chapter
‘Stand-alone Connection’
on page 4 to configure the Extender in Stand-alone
Mode.
Note If you want to use a Multimedia server, like the Escient Fireball, in combination with one or
more Extenders, the Extenders have to be configured in Network Mode.
Network Mode
This is the so-called ‘Infrastructure Mode’: the Extender is used in a network with a router.
Network Advantages:
• A network allows the use of repeaters, which enlarges the range of the RC9001 System.
• When using a dedicated Network, the Extender can operate independently from settings
in other networks.
• The Extender in Network Mode can be given a fixed IP address, which increases reliability.
• The network connection can be encrypted.
Refer to the chapter ‘
Network Connection’
on page 4 to configure the Extender in Network Mode.
Note An Extender that has been configured in Stand-alone Mode can always be reconfigured for use
in Network Mode and vice versa.
You can use up to 16 different Extenders in the same Network.

Configuring the Extender
Note Before you start configuring the Extender, check for firmware updates in the Downloads section
on http://www.marantz.com in the Home Entertainment section of your region.
Refer to the chapter ‘Firmware Update’ on page 9 for further details.
Stand-alone Connection
To configure the Stand-alone Extender:
1Plug in the Extender’s power adapter.
The Extender will start up. When start-up has finished, the Power and WiFi LEDs are green.
2Use the default switch settings of the Extender:
Note • If there is already an Extender with ID 0, set the Extender ID switch to an ID that is not
used yet.
• If there is any interference with other products in or around the house, the
Configuration switch can be set to a different RF channel.
• Make sure the same Extender ID and RF channel are used on the Extender and the
Control Panel.
3Configure the Control Panel’s configuration file so that the Control Panel can work
with the Extender. For more details, refer to the Wizz.it Ex Online Help.
Network Connection
In the case of a network connection, the Extender is made part of the wireless Network.
There are two ways to use the Extender in a network:
•Wired connection
•Wireless connection

To configure the Network Extender:
1Connect the Extender to the PC with the
configuration cable (this is the crossed
Ethernet cable enclosed).
2Set the switches correctly:
Note • If there is already an Extender with ID 0, set the Extender ID switch to an ID that is not
used yet.
• Make sure the same Extender ID is used on the Extender and the Control Panel.
3Plug in the Extender’s power adapter.
The Extender will start up. After startup, the Power and Ethernet LEDs are green and the Busy
LED is red/green blinking.
4Open the browser.
5Type the IP address of the Extender 192.168.8.80 (printed on the back of the Extender)
in the address bar of the browser.
The Configuration Tool opens in the browser.
6Follow the onscreen instructions and make sure you have the following information at
hand:
• If the Extender will be connected wirelessly to the Network: the SSID and
encryption settings (WPA encryption is currently not supported.)
• If the Extender will be operating with a fixed IP address: the IP address,netmask and
default gateway.
Tip To ensure optimal performance, use a dedicated network for all communication.
This makes the Network independent from other network traffic and changes in
network settings.
7Disconnect the Extender from the PC.
8Connect the Extender to the Network:
• For a wired connection, connect the Extender to the router by means of a straight Ethernet
cable.
• For a wireless connection, you do not need to connect any more cables.
9Set the switches correctly:
The Extender will restart. After startup,
• In a wired network connection, the Power and Ethernet LEDs are green and the Busy LED
blinks green when it’s processing a code or a macro from the Control Panel.
• In a wireless network connection, the Power and WiFi LEDs are green and the Busy LED
blinks green when it’s processing a code or a macro from the Control Panel.

Configuring the Extender through a Router
When the Extender is already installed and connected to external A/V equipment, it is possible to
configure it through a router via a straight Ethernet cable. It is not possible to configure the
Extender wireless via the router.
1Connect the Extender to the router, and the router to the PC, as indicated below.
2Set the Extender’s Configuration switch to 3.
3Open the Wizz.it Ex on the PC.
4In the Tools menu, select Extender Discovery.
The Extender Discovery tool appears, with a list of all the detected Extenders in the
Network.
5Select the Extender that you want to configure and click on the Configure button.
The Configuration Tool opens in the browser.
6Finalize the configuration, as described in the instructions on page 5.
Installing the Extender
Warning
Keep the Extender away from heat sources such as amplifiers.
Before connecting the Extender to external A/V equipment,
make sure that the antenna is placed correctly.
Connecting the Extender to A/V equipment
For the Extender to transmit an IR signal, you need to connect it to the A/V component via the
IR Output on the back of the Extender. In contrast to previous Marantz Extenders, the RX8001 has no
IR blaster.
To connect the Extender to A/V equipment, use one of the following cables enclosed with the
Extender:
• a Dual IR emitter;
Place the
antenna in an
upright position.
Extender
Straight
Ethernet cable
Router
Insert the mini-jack
connector of the
Dual IR emitter in
the IR output of
the Extender.
Attach the
emitter to the
infrared receiver
of the A/V
component.
Tip When the Extender is not recognized by the Extender Discovery tool, configure the Extender
directly with the configuration cable, as described on page 5.

Adjusting the Power Level of the IR Outputs
At the back of the Extender, there are 4 dipswitches, one for each IR output. Use these dipswitches
to configure the power level of the Dual IR emitters and the mini-jack cables.
For example, flip the dipswitch down to lower the power level when the Extender is connected to
an external IR bus system.

Troubleshooting
What Do the LEDs Indicate?
Insert one mini-jack
connector of the
mini-jack cable in
the IR output of the
Extender.
Insert the other
mini-jack
connector in the
A/V component.
There is an IP conflict
There is another A/V component in the network that is using the same fixed IP address as the
Extender. Change the IP address of the Extender in the Configuration Tool.
If the problem persists, check the router settings.
The IP address cannot be determined
• When using the Extender: make sure that the Extender is connected to the router with a straight
Ethernet cable.
• When configuring the Extender: make sure the PC is not using a fixed IP address but is using
DHCP instead.
