Other Rear Panel Connections
IR Input
Your P 5 is compatible with most popular infrared repeater systems for remote control operation
from another room or when the P 5 is installed in a cabinet where its remote handset signals
cannot reach its front panel remote control sensor. The External Remote Input connector is a
standard 1/8” (3.5 mm) mono “mini” jack. The center conductor (plug tip) is for signal and the outer
conductor (plug sleeve) is for ground. Your Authorized Parasound dealer or custom installer can
recommend a compatible IR repeater system.
IR Loop Output
The loop output offers a convenient way to daisy chain an IR signal to another piece of equipment.
Whatever IR control signal is present at the rear panel IR Input jack will also be present at the IR
Loop Out jack.
AC Power Cord
The AC cord supplied with your P 5 is a high quality IEC type cord. If possible, plug your P 5 into
the same AC outlet that your source components and power amplifier are plugged into. If different
AC outlets are used for the P 5 and these other components the ground potential may be higher or
lower between the outlets, resulting in audible hum.
