MOON Stargate Processor

Rear Panel Connections (continued)

The “RECORD OUT” section has two audio/video outputs that you may use to connect to a VCR or a tape deck for example. The audio outputs are fixed line level; they are not affected by the processor’s volume control setting. The video outputs are Composite Video and S-Video for each of the two “RECORD OUT” connections; These video outputs provide no OSD information. There is also a digital output available on an optical Toslink connector located near the “DIGITAL INPUTS”. It may be used to connect to a CD-R recorder for example.

The “2nd ZONE” section has one fixed output, one variable output and one second zone dedicated input that is accessible only from the “2nd Zone”. The “2nd Zone” has limited access to which input source may be selected; The dedicated “2nd Zone” input, CD, Tape or the AM/FM Tuner.

Control Signal Connections

The input labeled “IR INPUT” (Infra Red Remote Control) is designed to receive an electrical signal corresponding to the infra-red signal of a remote device such as a repeater that may be installed in the “2nd ZONE”.

The “RS-232” port allows you to control the Stargate from a distant programmed controller (such as a Crestron system). All information about the “RS-232” codes is available upon request or in PDF file format from our website: www.simaudio.com. This “RS-232” port can also be used to download software revisions for possible future upgrades; When available, all registered buyers will be informed.

There are three (3) trigger outputs that can be used to control other components. Two are associated with the main zone and one with the “2nd Zone”. Each of them activates when their respective zone is turned on. The output labeled “12V TRIGGER” is a rated at 200mA. The outputs labeled “2nd ZONE TRIGGER” and “MAIN ZONE” are dry contacts rated at 1A each. All three of these triggers operate with a 5 second delay.

The following four (4) pages show examples of both typical source connections and amplifier/speaker configurations. Don’t hesitate to contact your retailer/custom installer for recommendations if you are unsure of which setup is best for your system.
