Power Syncronization and Component Compatibility

2A. Power Syncronization

Infrared Turn On/Off Requires “Sync”

Every component which requires an infrared command to turn “On” or “Off” must be synced to the IntelliControl. Based on the “sync status” of the selected component, the IntelliControl will know whether or not to issue a “Power” or “On” command when a Master Key is selected. The same basic procedure applies to turning the system off. The IntelliControl monitors the on/off status of the components in either of two ways, “12V Sync” and “Video Sync”.

Components that Don’t Need Sync – Those with Latching Power

Components which “latch” into an “On” state when power is supplied do not need sync. The term “Latching Power” describes any component which has a Power button which “latches” into the “On” position and can be turned on automatically when AC power is supplied. “Single” and “5-disc” CD players, as well as most Tape Decks traditionally plug into the switched outlet of the preamp/receiver and do not require IR “power” or “On” and “Off” commands to manage their power. Check the power consumption of each devices in the system and total them. If all of the connected component’s combined power consumption exceeds the limitations of the preamp’s switched outlet, you must specify a Niles AC-6+ to switch the “On” and “Off”. See Figure 9

Figure 6 Using the Niles AC-3 (or AC-6+) to switch on source components featuring “latching” power via the Audio Control Voltage Output. (The Audio 12V is automatically activated whenever a source that utilizes the preamp is selected).
