SYSTEM CONTROLLER

YOU SHOULD KNOW

If the component you want to use to control your P 3 doesn’t have a 2.5 mm trigger output jack, you can cut off one plug and terminate the end of the wire. The lead with the red stripe is positive and the lead without a stripe is negative.

You cannot automatically turn on the P 3 by applying AC power to the unit. Therefore, the P 3 will not turn on automatically if it is connected to a switched AC outlet.
