ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
The FM jack is a standard screw on F-type
connector. The AM is a push type. Strip ¼ inch
of insulation off your AM antenna wires and
insert one wire end into each hole while holding
the tabs down. Release the tabs to lock in the
AM antenna wires.
CONTROL OUTPUT / IR INPUT
Control Output -
This connection is to be used for
controlling other equipment such as an external B&K
Components, Ltd. amplifier, projection screen, etc.
Connect your control cable to the Preamplifier Tuner using
a mono 3.5 mm jack shown at left. The plug must be
wired as tip (+) and the long barrel section (-).
The Control output is programmable for each source in your system (see “Advanced Setup”). However, the
Preamplifier Tuner provides the following factory preprogrammed setup that should serve for most standard
system applications.
Control
- HEADPHONE - On (+12 VDC) when the unit is on and not in Headphone mode, Off when the unit is off
or in Headphone Mode. This mode may be used for controlling external amplifiers or powered sub woofers in an
audio zone.
Note - The control outputs can output a maximum of 50 mA. Check to see that the source you are connecting to
the control out requires 50 mA or less current.
WARNING - Not all manufacturers adhere to the +12 VDC control specification. Check to see if your
sources control inputs are +12 VDC compatible. Do not connect your Preamplifier Tuner’s control outputs
to a source with control or remote inputs rated at +6 VDC or other voltage rating. Damage to your source
may result.
IR Inputs -
Your Preamplifier Tuner can be controlled by a directly connected IR repeater system in combination
with or in place of the supplied remote control. Connect your IR input cable to the Preamplifier Tuner using a mono
3.5 mm jack shown above. The plug must be wired as tip (+) and the long barrel section (-). The input is standard
38 kHz modulated IR type with a voltage range of +6 to +12 VDC.
