Infra-red (IR) connectors

The trigger connectors (Trig Z1, Trig Z2 and Trig Z3) provide an electrical signal whenever the amplifier is switched on and the relevant zone enabled.

Use for remotely turning on and off power amps or source equipment for Zone 3. On = 12V, Off = 0V.

The trigger signal can be used to switch on and off compatible pieces of home entertainment equipment, for example, you could set up a trigger to turn on your television and DVD player whenever the unit was switched on.

Sockets with the prefix ‘Z2’ or ‘Z3’ refer to connections used in multi-room installation. For more information on these connectors, see page 50.

This output is an electrical combination of the Z1 (or front panel) + Z2 + Z3 infra-red signals above. It can be used to drive external IR emitters or can be connected directly to other Arcam equipment which have an IR input.

A supplier of infra-red receivers and emitter accessories and systems is Xantech. See www.xantech.com for more information, or ask your Arcam dealer.

NOTE

The IR inputs on the unit are designed for modulated signals. If the external IR receiver demodulates the IR signal, it will not work. Also the unit does not provide power for external receivers on the IR jack, therefore an external power source will be required.
