Zone 2 and Zone 3—Continued

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, 100 milliamperes max).

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

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 sig- nals 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.
