Control Connections
Trigger Connections
The 12V DC trigger provides a convenient way to
power on your player in synch with the rest of your
home theater system.
• Use the trigger input with your preamp to turn
the GDV-870 on and off automatically.
• Use the trigger pass through to control an ad-
ditional device in your system.
1 Using a cable with dual 3.5mm mono mini-plugs,
connect the 12V DC trigger input on the GDV-870
to the 12V DC trigger output on your preamp.
2 Optionally, use a second cable with dual 3.5mm
mono mini-plugs to connect the 12V DC trigger
pass through on the GDV-870 to the 12V DC trig-
ger input on a compatible device (e.g., a motor-
ized screen or another AV component).
3 Confirm the triggers are working.
• Power on your preamp.
• The GDV-870 and any connected devices
should power on automatically.
Remote IR Sensor Connections
Use the IR input jack to connect an external IR sen-
sor to the GDV-870 if the unit is behind cabinet doors
or otherwise not visible to the remote.
1 Obtain a remote IR sensor.
• Choose a remote IR sensor from an electron-
ics distributor that suits your particular in-
stallation needs.
• Install the remote IR sensor according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
2 Connect the remote IR sensor’s 3.5mm mono
mini-plug to the IR input on the back panel of
the GDV-870.
3 Confirm the IR sensor is working.
• Conceal the GDV-870 front panel and attempt
to control the unit by pointing the remote at
the remote IR sensor.

Notes:
• The 12V DC trigger is simply a “trigger” and not a relay driver. Some motorized screens will require
an outboard device to be used in association with the 12V DC trigger. See the screen manufacturer’s
instructions or ask your dealer or distributor.
