A trigger source refers to what the trigger takes it cue from: either the system changing back and forth from standby to operate, or an independent

IR command (learned in the teach remote menu). Each of the two hardware triggers may be set independently of the other.

The type refers to whether the output of the trigger is a level (constant) trigger or a pulse (simulating the action of a momentary-closure contact switch). The vast majority of trigger-compatible equipment on the market today is looking for a level (continuous when “on”) trigger; the pulse option is provided for the occa- sional exception to this rule.

Internal settings within the Audio Video Preamplifier determine whether the elec- trical result of these triggers is a nominal 5V or 12V, or even the closing of a dry contact relay (should you require to source more current or a higher voltage than the Audio Video Preamplifier can provide). If this last is the case, you can use control trigger 1 as a switch by placing it in series with an external power source such as a “wall wart” power supply.

The default settings from the factory are as follows:

•trigger 1 = 12V level when not in standby (0V when in standby)

•trigger 2 = 12V level when not in standby (0V when in standby)

The three switches that determine what combination of 5V, 12V or relay your AVP2 uses are located inside your AVP2 and must be set by a qualified installer.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the AVP2! 69

If you need one of the internal settings changed to support your installation, please contact your dealer.

The infrared remote input jack on the rear panel of the AVP2 may be pro- grammed to respond to either local commands (e.g., duplicating the functionality of the IR receiver in the AVP’s main display) or remote commands (e.g., from an IR repeater, intended to affect only the remote signal path). (Refer to the Remote IR and Remote Turn-onsection of your AVP2 manual for more information.)

The factory default setting is remote. If your installation of the AVP2 prevents IR commands from reaching the AVP2 (as when behind closed doors, for example), and if you are using an IR repeater to pass IR commands to the system, you may wish to set the IR input on the rear panel to local, in which case you would also want to “hard-wire” the AVP2 to your IR repeater. To make this software change, follow these steps:
