1. Power mode switches

The Power mode switches correspond to each of the Power Zones. These switches are used to control how the power zones respond to the front panel power button. They can be set in the following ways:

•Always On [ON] - With the switch in the ON position, the zone will receive power as soon as the Power Director 3.5 is plugged into a power source. Power will continue to pass through this zone even if the Director is switched off (standby mode).

•Switched [SW] - In the SW position, the zone will receive power as soon as the Power Director is switched on (operate mode). No power will pass to this zone when the Director is in standby mode.

•Delayed [DL] - In the DL position, the zone will activate three seconds after the Power Director is in operate mode. No power will pass to this zone when the Director is in standby mode.

2. Circuit Breaker

In the event that the connected gear draws more than 15 amps of current the circuit breaker will trip and no power will pass through any of the outlets. To reset the circuit breaker press the toggle switch.

3.IEC Power Input

15Amp male IEC inlet.

4.DC Trigger (input)

The Director is equipped with a DC input trig- ger. The DC trigger will control the power status of the Director. See the DC Trigger section for more information.

5. Coaxial Pass Through

The coaxial pass through will provide surge protection from abnormal voltage situations on CATV or satellite lines. The coaxial pass through will pass the full bandwidth of HDTV signals.

6. Power Zone: Analog

The Analog Power Zone can be used to connect any type of equipment. For best results prod- ucts such as preamplifiers, phono equipment, tuner or tape equipment should be grouped on the same Power Zone.

7. Power Zone: Digital/Video

The Digital/Video Power Zone can be used to connect any type of equipment. For best results the Digital/Video Power Zone should be used to connect any digital equipment and display devices. Products such as DVD/CD players, PVRs, Satellite or CATV tuners, Television sets or front/rear projectors should be grouped on the same Power Zone.

8. Power Zone: Amplifier

The Amplifier Power Zone can be used to con- nect any type of equipment. For best results the Amplifier Power Zone should be used to con- nect any amplifiers or subwoofers.

Note:

The names regarding the Power Zones are simply suggestions. Each zone is identical (except the number of outlets). To provide the most effective isolation follow the guidelines listed above.

For optimum performance, it is recommend that analog equipment be grouped separately from digital equipment. Items with very high power consumption should use separate zones.
