Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you usually must control many products, your amplifier includes both an IR input (for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to pass along the same signal to the next product). This allows you to “daisy chain” your control wires from one product to the next.

The amplifier is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Volts DC, with the tip of the mini-plugs defined to be “positive” relative to the shank of the plug.

6 DC Trigger Input and Output

Many audio/video preamplifiers can supply a DC control voltage to associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé amplifier can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched between operate and standby automatically, perhaps in concert with the preamp/processor itself.

Two 1/8th-inch mini mono-jacksprovide this remote-controlled turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the amplifier. These jacks provide a simple pass-through of the control voltage from one to the other, allowing you to “daisy-chain” a series of amplifiers quite easily.

The remote trigger will be operated by the presence of 5–12 Volts DC, with tip polarity as shown below:

7RS 232 Control Port

This RJ-45 connector is used for external RS-232 control of your amplifier by systems such as AMX®, Crestronand Control 4.

For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation systems.
