12.2.3. Independent chime activation (remote control)

•A chime tone can be sounded when the broadcast of the sound source (Priority 3) connected to Inputs 1 – 3 not activated by remote control (CTRL IN 1,2,3) is started (and completed).

•Have a chime tone remotely transmitted from the unit's rear panel-mounted CONTROL I/O connector pin No. 9 "Chime activation." (See p. 45 "CONTROL I/O CONNECTOR FUNCTIONS.") Make a chime activation switch and connect it to between the pin and GND terminal.
