Parasound JC 2 manual Remote Control Functions

OPERATING YOUR JC 2 continued 11

We use independent high-resolution Japanese TKD gain control potentiometers to trim the volume of each channel for a balanced sonic image. In most cases you will simply leave the Left and Right knobs fully clockwise where the potentiometer wipers make direct contacts and are out of the circuit.

Note: The Left and Right Level Controls are intended only for very precise adjustment over a 10 dB range and they will not reduce channel output levels to zero when they are turned fully counter-clockwise.

Invert Indicator

When this illuminates, the polarity of the Main Outputs are being inverted 180° out of phase from the input signal. The polarity invert feature can be turned on or off from the remote handset. For more information on when to use this feature see the Frequently Asked Questions section of this manual.

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The JC 2 remote control has a range of approximately 20 – 25 feet (6 – 7.5 meters). Use only AAA alkaline batteries in the handset and insert them according to the + and – polarity markings in the battery compartment.

On and Off Buttons

These have the same function as the On-Off button on the front panel. These separate buttons enable programming unambiguous “hard” off and on commands into a system controller or to create a macro sequence for a learning-type remote control.

Mute Button

Pressing the Mute button once mutes the signal at both Main Out jacks and the Inverted Out jacks. The red Mute light will flash on the front panel while mute is engaged. Press the Mute button a second time to cancel mute.

Note: It does not mute the signal at the Record out jacks.

Volume ▲ and ▼ Buttons

These buttons control the rotation of the front panel motorized

Level control, to increase and decrease listening volume levels.

Input Buttons

Press the input button of the source that you wish to hear.

Trigger Off & On Buttons

Pressing these On or Off buttons will activate Triggers 3 and 4 located on the rear panel. The triggers output 12 volts which can be used to turn on power amplifiers or other components that are equipped with a trigger input. Triggers 3 and 4 are always off when the JC 2 is off, but they can be turned on or off when the JC 2 is on by using these remote handset buttons.
