INSTALLATION

POWER CONTROL CONNECTIONS

The TRIGGER jacks are used to remotely turn-on other devices in your system when the Cinema 11 is ON. Power is applied to the MAIN Trigger Output jack when the Cinema 11 is turned on from the Standby Mode.

We recommend that this jack be used to turn on a power amplifier such as the Cary Audio Cinema 5 or Cinema 7B, but it may also be used to activate compatible products such as projection screens, lights or blinds.

Connect a 3.5mm mono mini-plug between the Trigger 1 jack on the rear panel of the Cinema 11 and the low voltage trigger jack of the device to be controlled to enable remote turn-on of that component. The Trigger 2 or 3 jack is activated when the Zone 2 Multi-room system is turned on and should be used for control of amplifiers used to power the speakers installed in the remote zone. It will remain activated as long as the Zone 2 Multi-room system is on, even when the Cinema 11 is in the Standby mode for the main room.

REMOTE CONTROL

The IR INPUT 1 jacks allow you to extend the on-board remote control sensor on the Cinema 11's rear panel so that you may continue to control the Cinema 11 even when it is installed behind solid or smoked cabinet doors or when the front panel sensor is otherwise not visible to the remote control.

To extend the remote sensor connect an optional remote sensor to the IR INPUT 1 jack.

The IR INPUT 2 jack is provided to enable remote control of the Cinema 11's multi-zone system through the use of an optional remote sensor in the second zone. Connect the sensor to the IR INPUT 2 jack using a 3.5mm mono mini-plug and the wiring specified by the sensor's manufacturer. (many companies offer external IR receivers for this purpose)

POWER CONNECTION

Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input on the rear panel of the processor. Do not use a power cord other than the one supplied with the Cinema 11. It is designed for use with the Cinema 11 and should not be used with any other device.

CAUTION: Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet, ensure all connections to the processor have been made correctly.

WARNING: Never disconnect the power cord from the Cinema 11 while the other end is plugged into an AC outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always connect the power by plugging into the AC outlet last and disconnect by unplugging from the AC outlet first.
