5DC Trigger Input and Output

Many audio/video components can supply a DC control voltage to associated equipment in order to induce desired behavior. Your Classé DVD transport can take advantage of these capabilities in order to be switched between operate and standby automatically, usually in concert with the A/V preamp itself.

The 1⁄8th-inch mono mini-jack Trigger In provides for remote-controlled turn-on (that is, toggling between operate and standby) of the transport.

Two 1⁄8th-inch mono mini-jacks provide individually controllable DC trigger outputs which can be used for any of a number of purposes, as described in The Menu System. For example, your dealer can program Trigger Out to toggle your Classé power amplifier between operate and standby with your CDT-300.

The remote Trigger In will respond to the presence of 5–12VDC, with tip polarity as shown below:

Similarly, the Trigger Outs will create a 12VDC signal that can support up to 100mA of current.
