16IR INPUT

A 1⁄8" “mini” jack labeled ir input near the lower right corner of the rear panel provides direct access to the infrared control circuitry of the AVP2. It may be configured during setup (in an on screen menu) to interpret in- coming signals in either of two ways:

•Remote: when in Remote mode, the AVP2 will interpret any com- mand entering through the remote IR jack as being intended to affect the record/remote path only. This feature allows easy ac- cess to all sources connected to the AVP2 from elsewhere in the house with the addition of any commercially-available IR repeater.

•Local: when in the Local mode the remote IR jack responds to all commands, as the infrared receiver in the main display of the front panel would. This mode is most often used with an IR re- peater when the AVP2 and other components are placed inside of cabinets (preventing the normal IR receiver from receiving re- mote commands). (See The Setup Menu.)

The incoming signal for the remote IR input should conform to widely-ac- cepted IR repeater standards: that is, the signal present should be between 3-15 volts DC at less than 100 mA current, with a positive tip polarity, as shown below:

–+

5-12 volts @ less than 100 mA

Your Proceed dealer can help you take advantage of these design features to maximize your system’s versatility.

17DC TRIGGERS

Each of the two remote on/off triggers can be configured by your installer to provide either 5V or 12V DC trigger signals, either in response to the AVP2 coming out of standby into operate, or in response to an indepen- dent IR command. The tip polarity for each of these triggers is as shown below:

–+

5-12 volts @ less than 100 mA

These triggers provide some degree of control and automation over prod- ucts that lack more sophisticated communications capabilities. For example, you could have one of these triggers toggle your amplifier(s) on and off ac- cording to the operational status of the AVP2, while the other served to lower the screen for your projection television when a particular IR command was received.

By default, these triggers are programmed to provide 12V “level” signals that are tied to the state of the AVP2: 12V when operational, and 0V when in standby.
