External Controller

RS-232C connector

This connector is used for an external controller.

b If you wish to control the AVR-5308CI from an external controller using the RS-232C connector, perform the operation below beforehand.

q Turn on the AVR-5308CI’s power.

w Turn off the AVR-5308CI’s power from the external controller.

e Check that the AVR-5308CI is in the standby mode.

•When using in combination with an RF Remote Controller (RC-7000CI, sold separately) and RF Remote Receiver (RC-7001RCI, sold separately) two-way communication with an RF Remote Controller is possible. The AVR-5308CI’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 and RF Remote Receiver, make the settings at GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “2Way Remote” – “Used” (vpage 41).

•When using the 2-way remote control unit, connect to the Port 1 RS-232C connector.

•If GUI menu “Manual Setup” – “Option Setup” – “2Way Remote”is set to “Used”, you cannot use port 1 of the RS-232C connector for the external controller.

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-5308CI.

For details, see GUI menu “Manual Setup” –

“Option Setup” – “Trigger Out 1”, “Trigger Out 2”,

“Trigger Out 3” or “Trigger Out 4” (vpage 41).

• Output level: 250 mA/12 V
