Multi Zone
ZONE2 or ZONE3 Pre-out Connections
•If another power amplifier or pre-main (integrated) amplifier is connected, the ZONE2 or ZONE3 pre-out (variable or fixed level) connectors can be used to play a different program source in ZONE2 or ZONE3 the same time (vpage 68 ~ 71).
•When using an S-Video cable or a video cable for connection between the AVR-3808CI and an input device, connect to the video connectors.
•The ZONE2 video out is only for ZONE2.

NOTE
•For the audio output, use high quality pin-plug cords so that no induction humming or noise is produced.
•For instructions on installing and operating separately sold devices, refer to the respective devices’ operating instructions.
•To conduct multi-zone playback, see “Amp Assign / Multi Zone Connections and Operations” (vpage 68 ~ 71).
External Controller
RS-232C connector
This connector is used for an external controller.
b If you wish to control the AVR-3808CI from an external controller using the RS-232C connector, perform the operation below beforehand.
q Turn the AVR-3808CI’s power.
w Turn off the AVR-3808CI’s power from the external controller.
e Check that the AVR-3808CI is in the standby mode.
•When using in combination with an RF Remote Controller (RC-7000CI, sold separately) or RF Remote Receiver (RC-7001RCI, sold separately) two-way communication with an RF Remote Controller is possible.
The AVR-3808CI’s status information as well as iPod and Internet audio music files can be browsed watching the RF Remote Controller’s display. For details, refer to the operating instructions of the respective devices.
•When used in combination with an RF Remote Controller or RF Remote Receiver, make the settings at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “2Way Remote” – “Used” (vpage 35).
Trigger output jacks
The power of an external device equipped with a trigger input jack can be turned on and off in association with operations on the AVR-3808CI. For details, see GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “Trigger Out 1” or “Trigger Out 2” (vpage 35).
• Output level: 150 mA/12 V
Check the trigger input conditions of the connected device.
• If the trigger input level of the connected device is higher than 150 mA/12 V and depending on the short-circuiting conditions, the AVR-3808CI’s protection circuit may be activated, in which case “TRIGGER PROTECT” appears on the display. If this happens, turn off the AVR-3808CI’s power and disconnect the connected device.
