The RC-5 input makes custom installation easy and secure by accepting baseband RC-5 input commands from hardwired remote controllers.

54 12 VDC In and Out

The 12 VDC output sends a 12 Volt power on/off signal to other Krell components via a 12 V trigger cable, as well as to other devices that incorporate 12 Volt power on/off trigger input. The Home Theater Standard 7.1 has four programmable 12 Volt outputs: Out1, Out2, Out3, and Out4; and one input.

When the Home Theater Standard 7.1 is in the operational mode and a trig- ger is configured, the 12 VDC Out provides 12 V of DC output. When the Home Theater Standard 7.1 is in the stand-by mode or off, or if a trigger is not configured, the DC output is 0 V.
