SOURCE POWER SYNCHRONIZATION
WHAT IS SOURCE-POWER SYNCHRONIZATION?
The
For this feature to function as designed, you need “synchronization (sync)” between the
Source Power Sync makes it possible for the user to always have a source component turn ON when they need it on and to always have all the components turn OFF when they turn the System off.
Source Components that require Power Synchronization
Source components that utilize the same IR command for ON and OFF need to be synchronized. The power button for these source components sends the same IR command to turn the source components ON if they are OFF, and to turn them OFF if they are ON. It is necessary to “synchronize” these source components with the
The
Source Components that do not require Synchronization
Two types of components do not require synchronization: those with separate ON and OFF IR commands, and those with “latching power.”
Source Components with separate ON/OFF IR commands
There are source components that are included with and respond to separate ON and OFF IR commands. Synchronization is not required for them. When power commands are programmed as separate ON and OFF, the
Source Components with “Latching Power”
Some source components, like CD players and tape decks, are usually plugged into the switched AC outlet of the preamplifier/receiver that they are installed with. These components simply turn ON when the system’s receiver/preamplifier turns ON, meaning that they “latch” into an ON or OFF state and do not need an IR com- mand to turn ON or OFF.
Because they turn ON as soon as there is power on their AC cord, once the preamplifier/receiver is turned on, these components will be turned on as well. They do not need individual synchronization.
