9IR Input and Output
Your Classé preamplifier includes two
for either operate or standby. These codes may be used in “macros” for sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the preamplifier in the larger context of a complete system.
The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with your authorized Classé dealer.
Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and output of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. They are used with standard IR receivers, distribution amplifiers, and emitters (available from your dealer) to translate the remote’s IR signal to an electrical signal and vice versa. The big advantages here include being able to easily route the signals anywhere they might need to go and the reliability of a solid electrical connection.
Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you usually must control many products, your preamplifier 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 preamplifier is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Volts DC, with the tip of the
