11	CONNECTING AN INFRARED REPEATER SYSTEM TO THE P 3

The External Remote Input jack is for a wired infrared repeater system or system controller. It eliminates the need for a stick-on front panel IR flasher. There is also a Loop Out jack to loop or “daisy chain” to an additional infrared remote-controlled component.

What You’ll Need:

•An infrared receiving eye

•A power supply for the IR system

•A connecting block from the external IR system’s manufacturer

•One cable with a 1/8” mini-plug on each end

Before Connecting

Remove power to all the components in your audio system.

To Connect

1Plug the receiving eye into the input on the connecting block.

2Plug the power supply into the connecting block.

3Push one of the 1/8” mini-plugs into the connecting block.

4Push the plug at the other end of this cable into the External Remote In jack on the P 3.

5Plug an IR flasher or other IR repeater into the P 3’s External Remote Loop Out jack to control another component if desired.
