Using the 12V Triggers

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trigger-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, Zone 3 or any combination of rooms.

When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT goes high (+12 volts and 150 milliamperes max. at TRIG- GER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at

TRIGGER OUT B and C).

Hookup

Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller’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 components, a large amount of current may be drawn momentarily. 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 signal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last component to be turned on will accom- plish this.

 

 

1

Press RECEIVER followed by SETUP.

 

The main menu appears on screen.

 

If the main menu doesn’t appear, make sure the

 

appropriate external input is selected on your TV.

 

 

2

Use q/wto select “12V Trigger A, B or C Setup”,

 

and then press ENTER.

The “12V Trigger A, B or C Setup” screen appears.

4 Use q/wto select “Delay”, and use e/rto select:

`0sec (Trigger A: default),

1sec (Trigger B: default),

2sec (Trigger C: default), or 3sec.

When “0sec” is selected, the trigger signal is output as soon as the input source is changed.

5 Use q/wto select an input source, and use e/rto 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 (Trigger A: default): Main room.

`Zone 2 (Trigger C: default): Zone 2.

`Main/Zone 2:

Main room or Zone 2.

`Zone 3: Zone 3.

`Main/Zone 3:

Main room or Zone 3.

`Zone 2/Zone 3: Zone 2 or Zone 3.

`Main/Zone 2/Zone 3 (Trigger B: default): Main room, Zone 2, or Zone 3.

6 When you’ve finished, press SETUP.

The setup menu closes.
