2Optionally, use a second cable with dual 3.5mm mono mini-plugs to connect the 12V DC trigger pass through on the GDV-870 to the 12V DC trig-

ger input on a compatible device (e.g., a motor- ized screen or another AV component).

Notes:

•The 12V DC trigger is simply a “trigger” and not a relay driver. Some motorized screens will require an outboard device to be used in association with the 12V DC trigger. See the screen manufacturer’s instructions or ask your dealer or distributor.
