120
Zone 2—Continued
The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V trig-
ger-capable components automatically when they are selected
as the input source. The triggers can be set so that they activate
when a connected component is selected as the input source for
the main room, Zone 2 or any combination of rooms.
When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT
goes high (+12 volts, 100 milliamperes max).
Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV receiver’s 12V
TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger
input on a connected component.
When several components are turned on simultaneously by
using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of com-
ponents, a large amount of current may be drawn momen-
tarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals A, B,
and C individually. Another application for trigger delay is
eliminating the “thump” noise that’s sometimes heard when
a source component is turned on. Delaying the trigger sig-
nal for your power amplifier so that it’s the last component
to be turned on will accomplish this.
