Wired Network Setup
How to connect your MRX/AVM to your network. A network connection is required for accessing the Web UI, streaming content, and for running Anthem Room Correction. Ethernet Connection: The simplest way to connect your MRX/AVM to your network is by connecting it via Ethernet cable. This option isn’t always available, but it will provide the quickest setup and most secure network connection. To connect via Ethernet, simply take an ethernet cable that is connected to your network and plug it into the MRX/AVMs Ethernet port on the rear of the unit.
Wireless Network Setup
NOTE: When using a wireless connection (WiFi or Bluetooth), both antennae
must be connected to the unit.
iOS Wi-Fi Connection: Ensure your Apple device is connected to the
wireless network you wish to connect the Receiver/ Processor too.
- Enter the Wi-Fi Settings Menu.
- Locate MRX/AVM under “Set up new AirPlay speaker.”
- Select the unit you wish to connect and allow it to connect to your network.
NOTE: The Receiver/Processor will appear as MRX/AVM in the AirPlay
speaker menu.# Android Wi-Fi Connection: Download and open the Google Home
application. You should be prompted that there is a device available for
setup. If not, tap “x” followed by “Setup a Device”. Select the MRX/AVM and
follow the instructions on screen. To listen to cast audio from any supported
application on your MRX/AVM, ensure your device is connected to the same
network as the MRX/AVM. Tap the Chromecast built-in icon from within the
application and select the MRX/AVM as the playback device.
NOTE: If you connect to your network before connecting speakers, you will
not hear the connection chime.

Anthem Web User Interface
The Anthem Web User Interface is a new addition to the MRX/AVM line. With your
MRX/AVM on the network you can adjustmenu settings with a device connected to
the same network as the MRX/AVM; a phone, tablet or computer will work as it
resizes to the screen you are using. To access the Anthem Web User Interface,
you will first need to identify your MRX/AVMs IP address. This can be found by
entering the MRX/AVM Front Panel Menu: Setup Menu > Network/Control > IP
Configuration. Once you have your IP address you will need to use a browser
such as Safari or Google Chrome. After opening your browser, enter the IP
address into the URL bar.
Front Panel Menu
To access and navigate the Front Panel Menu, you will either need to use the
Remote or the Front Panel Buttons.
Remote: Press SETUP to enter the menu. Once in the menu, you can use the
UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and ENTER buttons to navigate and make changes.
Front Panel Buttons: Press MENU to enter the menu. Once in the menu, you
can use PREV/NEXT/VOLUME KNOB and SELECT to navigate and make changes.
Inputs
Virtual Inputs: Anthem products use “Virtual Inputs.” What this means is that
no physical input is tied to any input that is
made or created, you can create and specify combinations you want. For
example, you can make an input using HDMI 1 for video and HDMI for audio then
make a second input using HDMI 1 for video and RCA for audio or another
example would be to make 2 separate inputs using the exact same audio and
video inputs but different speaker profiles. You can make up to 30 different
Virtual Inputs allowing for a lot of customizability. For more details on
Virtual Inputs, see our full manual at: manuals.anthemav.com/mrx-
avm/en
Premade Inputs: While the virtual inputs allow for customization, your
MRX/AVM comes with premade inputs so you can turn it on and use it without any
menu setup. These are HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4, HDMI 5, HDMI 6, HDMI 7,
eARC, Streaming, Bluetooth, Optical 1, Coax 1, Analog 1, & Phono (AVM Models
Only). These inputs can be deleted or modified atwill but let MRX/AVM be used
without any knowledge of virtual inputs needed.
