CONFIGURING THE S170, Trigger Setup

CONFIGURING THE S170

Using the [Cursor] (down) key scroll down to the <Digital input> menu item. Use the [Cursor <>] keys to assign a digital input to the current source. The digital inputs will appear in order: Coax1-4, OPT 1, and Opt 2, followed by Off. You would set a source’s <Digital input> to “Off” if you wished to ensure that that source would not play an incoming digital bitstream.

NOTE

You may freely assign any digital input to any source position, and you may assign a digital input to two or more source positions. For example, with your DVD/CD player connected to the COAX1 digital input, you might choose to assign COAX1 to both the “CD” and “VIDEO1” inputs, renaming VIDEO1 to “DVD.”

The following characters are available:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z * - . / :

Using the [Cursor] (down) key scroll down to the <Component video> menu item. Use the [Cursor <>] keys to set Component video to “On” or “Off.” When a source is set to Component video “On,” the video signal present at the S170’s COMPONENT VIDEO IN (Y-Cb-Cr) jacks will be sent to its COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks whenever that input is selected.

• OSDs do not appear on the component-video output.

TRIGGER SETUP

The S170 is equipped with two 12-volt trigger outputs that may be used to turn on, activate, or otherwise control ancillary components or systems, such as power amplifiers, projector-lifts, lighting systems, and more. A trigger's function could be as simple as powering up and down your NAD S250 power amplifier, or as complex as readying an entire home-theater room for use. Each trigger may be independently configured for delay-before-trigger, duration of trigger, and polarity (+12v or -12v) of its output. Trigger #2 is equipped with two parallel output jacks, for convenience in controlling multiple components or systems. For more technical information on the S170's 12-volt trigger outputs, see Appendix 1, or consult your installing NAD audio specialist.

Simple 12-Volt Trigger Configuration Example: Powering the NAD S250 Power Amplifier

The following example employs the S170's 12V Trigger #1 to turn the S250 amplifier on and off in concert with the preamplifier.

Using the 12V Trigger cable supplied with the S170 connect the S170's rear-panel 12V TRIGGERS jack marked #1 to the 12V TRIGGER input jack on the S250 power amplifier. Note that this custom cable provides an 1/8th-inch mini-plug on one end for the S170, and a special, DC-style plug on the other to fit the S250 amplifier's trigger input.

>From the OSD Main menu, select the <Trigger setup> item using the remote's [Cursor up/down], and [Enter] keys. The <Trigger 1> listings should appear as follows (these are the defaults):

-polarity . . . . . . . . . . . . .Posit. -delay . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .No -duration . . . . . . . . . . . .Infin.

If any other settings are in place, use the remote's [Cursor up/down] and [Cursor <>] keys to change them to the above conditions.
