2.3 FM•AM ANTENNAS
To connect the AM loop antenna, press the spring-loaded tabs of the
AM ANTENNA connector and insert the bare ends of the two wires.
Move the antenna until best reception is found.
To connect the FM antenna, connect the two wires to the screw terminals of the
75-ohm to 300-ohm adapter, then connect the adapter to the FM ANTENNA
connector. Move the antenna until best reception is found – this is usually a “T”
formation. If your cable company provides FM service, you can connect the cable
to the processor.
2.4 12 VOLT TRIGGERS
If your other components have provisions for a trigger, you can have them turn on
and off together with the processor, or when a specified source is selected.
Connect a trigger output from the processor to the trigger input of your power
amplifier, display, etc., using a cable with 3.5mm mono mini plugs.
The processor provides flexible trigger options. From the factory, all the triggers are disabled. Through the
setup menu, you can specify the conditions for enabling triggers (see section 3.11).
2.5 POWERED IR (INFRA RED) RECEIVERS
External IR receivers allow the remote control to be used from other locations in
your home. Once an IR receiver is wired to another room, connect it to one of the
three IR RECEIVER inputs through the removable terminal block. To use the
terminal block, remove it from the processor, loosen the proper screw, insert the
wire in the slot, tighten the screw onto the wire, and insert the terminal block into
the processor. See section 3.11 for Setup information.
In addition, there is no need for an external 12V supply to power the receivers –
use the processor’s built-in supply instead for up to three IR receivers and
connect according to the IR receiver manufacturer’s instructions.
Custom Installers: The processor’s IR inputs sense modulated 38 kHz carrier, not demodulated data.
With some control systems, an emitter face-to-face with an IR receiver may be needed.
2.6 IR (INFRA RED) EMITTERS
IR emitters allow control of your source components from any location in your
home that has an IR receiver connected to the processor. After positioning the IR
emitter according to its instructions, connect it to IR EMITTER output. Commands
through the rear IR RECEIVER are re-transmitted through the IR emitters.
2.7 POWER
To connect power, use the supplied double-insulated power cord then turn on the rear panel AC switch.
