Zone 2—Continued

Using the 12V Triggers 3

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trig- ger-capable components automatically when they are selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that they activate when a connected component is selected as the input source for the main room, Zone 2 or any combination of rooms.

When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts, 100 milliamperes max).

Hookup

• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV receiver’s 12V TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger input on a connected component.

When several components are turned on simultaneously by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of com- ponents, a large amount of current may be drawn momen- tarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger delay is eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes heard when a source component is turned on. Delaying the trigger sig-

nal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last component 5 to be turned on will accomplish this.

Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] but- tons to select “Delay”, and use the Left and Right [e]/[r] but- tons to select: 0 sec, 1 sec, 2 sec, or 3 sec.

When 0 sec is selected, the trigger sig- nal is output as soon as the input source is changed.

Use the Up and Down [q]/[w] but- tons to select an input source, and use the Left and Right [e]/ [r] buttons to select an option.

Off: No trigger signal is output. A 12-volt trigger signal is output when the connected component is selected as the source for:

Main: Main room. Zone2: Zone 2.

Main/Zone2:

Main room or Zone 2.

Note:

By default, all input sources on the 12V Trigger A Setup menu are set to Main, those on the 12V Trigger B Setup menu are set to Main/Zone 2, and those on the 12V Trigger C Setup menu are set to Zone 2.

When you’ve finished, press the [Setup] button.

The setup menu closes.
