Switching components on and off using the
12 volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a
screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on or
off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input function.
However, you must specify which input functions switch on
the trigger using the The 12 V Trigger Setting

After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch on
the trigger, you’ll be able to switch the component on or off
just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set on page 51
.
