Onkyo PR-SC5508 instruction manual Using the 12V Triggers, Trigger OUT B and C

Using the 12V Triggers

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trigger-capable components automatically when they are selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that they activate when a connected component is selected as the input source for the main room, Zone 2, Zone 3 or any combination of rooms.

When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts and 150 milliamperes max. at TRIG- GER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at

TRIGGER OUT B and C).

Hookup

•Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller’s 12V TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger input on a connected component.

When several components are turned on simultaneously by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of components, a large amount of current may be drawn momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger delay is eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component is turned on.

Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last component to be turned on will accom- plish this.

1	Press RECEIVER followed by SETUP.
	The main menu appears on screen.
	If the main menu doesn’t appear, make sure the
	appropriate external input is selected on your TV.

	ENTER.
	The “Miscellaneous” menu appears.
3	Use q/wto select “12V Trigger A, B or C Setup”,
	and then press ENTER.

The “12V Trigger A, B or C Setup” screen appears.

4 Use q/wto select “Delay”, and use e/rto select:

`0sec (Trigger A: default),

1sec (Trigger B: default),

2sec (Trigger C: default), or 3sec.

When “0sec” is selected, the trigger signal is output as soon as the input source is changed.

5 Use q/wto select an input source, and use e/rto select an option.

`Off:

No trigger signal is output. A 12-volt trigger signal is output when the connected component is selected as the source for:

`Main (Trigger A: default): Main room.

`Zone 2 (Trigger C: default): Zone 2.

`Main/Zone 2:

Main room or Zone 2.

`Zone 3: Zone 3.

`Main/Zone 3:

Main room or Zone 3.

`Zone 2/Zone 3: Zone 2 or Zone 3.

`Main/Zone 2/Zone 3 (Trigger B: default): Main room, Zone 2, or Zone 3.

6 When you’ve finished, press SETUP.

The setup menu closes.
