Parasound JC 2 - Manual (Page 11)

OPERATING YOUR JC 2 continued
We use independent high-resolution Japanese TKD gain control potentiometers to trim the
volume of each channel for a balanced sonic image. In most cases you will simply leave the
Left and Right knobs fully clockwise where the potentiometer wipers make direct contacts
and are out of the circuit.
Note: The Left and Right Level Controls are intended only for very precise adjustment over a
10 dB range and they will not reduce channel output levels to zero when they are turned
fully counter-clockwise.
Invert Indicator
When this illuminates, the polarity of the Main Outputs are being inverted 180° out of phase
from the input signal. The polarity invert feature can be turned on or off from the remote
handset. For more information on when to use this feature see the Frequently Asked
Questions section of this manual.
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The JC 2 remote control has a range of approximately 20 – 25 feet
(6 – 7.5 meters). Use only AAA alkaline batteries in the handset
and insert them according to the + and – polarity markings in the
battery compartment.
On and Off Buttons
These have the same function as the On-Off button on the front
panel. These separate buttons enable programming unambiguous
“hard” off and on commands into a system controller or to create
a macro sequence for a learning-type remote control.
Mute Button
Pressing the Mute button once mutes the signal at both Main Out
jacks and the Inverted Out jacks. The red Mute light will flash on
the front panel while mute is engaged. Press the Mute button a
second time to cancel mute.
Note: It does not mute the signal at the Record out jacks.
Volume ▲ and ▼ Buttons
These buttons control the rotation of the front panel motorized
Level control, to increase and decrease listening volume levels.
Input Buttons
Press the input button of the source that you wish to hear.
Trigger Off & On Buttons
Pressing these On or Off buttons will activate Triggers 3 and 4
located on the rear panel. The triggers output 12 volts which can
be used to turn on power amplifiers or other components that are
equipped with a trigger input. Triggers 3 and 4 are always off when
the JC 2 is off, but they can be turned on or off when the JC 2 is
on by using these remote handset buttons.
