4Trigger outputs/Power syncing

Your Sonata AR30 or DR30 can automatically power on or switch into Standby, a matching Sonata CD30 CD player or DV30 DVD player. The Sonata CD30 and DV30 comes with a trigger lead for this purpose.

To enable this feature:

1.Switch off all Sonata units.

2.Connect one of the provided trigger lead between your source equipment and the corresponding trigger connection at back of the Sonata AR30 or DR30 unit (e.g. connect the Sonata AR30 or DR30 CD trigger output to the Sonata CD30 trigger input).

3.Switch all Sonata units back on.

Now, when the CD or DVD sources are selected on the Sonata AR30 or DR30, the appropriate Sonata source equipment will switch on. Conversely, when a different source is selected, the appropriate Sonata source will go into Standby, also when the Sonata AR30 or DR30 is put in standby mode, all the Sonata units will also go into Standby.

5Audio inputs

Also available in the Sonata range are the CD30 CD player and DV30 HDMI DVD player.

These can, if desired, be connected to the unit’s corresponding CD and DVD inputs using good quality stereo RCA/Phono leads (not supplied) as shown.

Aerials

Note: Sonata AR30 and DR30 are supplied with a temporary aerial for initial use. For permanent use, outdoor aerials are highly recommended.

AM loop aerial

Connect each end of the single length antenna to the antenna terminals. Place the antenna as far from the main system as possible to prevent unwanted noise and to obtain optimum reception. If the AM loop aerial provided does not receive sufficient reception, it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM aerial.

FM aerial

Connect the supplied aerial to the FM 75 ohm socket. Extend and move the aerial lead around until you get the best reception. For continued use, we strongly recommend using a 75ohm outdoor FM aerial.

SIRIUS ready (US version only)

The SIRIUS socket allows the connection of a SIRIUS satellite radio reception module (require subscription). Consult your dealer for more information.
