Control Function between the Unit
and External Component
You can enable the control functions between the unit
and external devices using the terminals below. Special
devices or cable connections are necessary to enable the
functions. For more information about preparation, contact
the specialized stores.
RS232 port
Use the port for connection with a integrated control system
that can enable home automation. Some integrated control
systems provide a centralized operation with a single
touch panel controller in order to control audio and video
home appliances and security devices together. For more
information about adopting an integrated control system,
contact the specialized stores.
IR jack
If you use a multiroom remote control kit such as
commercially available Xantech and Niles with this jack,
you can operate the unit with the remote controller even
when you are in a separate room, or operate the unit with
the remote controller even if its remote control sensor is
difficult to see. For more information about adopting a
multiroom remote control kit, contact the specialized stores.

12V trigger output jack
You can enable power link operation when you connect
the unit and an external device such as power amplifier
equipped with 12V trigger input jack. When the desired
input is selected on the unit power link operation will be
activated with a control signal of maximum 12V/150mA
output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT A jack, or maximum
12V/25mA output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT B/C jacks.
Each input can be set to output a control signal in any case
of "playback in the main room", "playback in ZONE2 (or
ZONE3)", "playback in the main room/ZONE2 (or ZONE3)",
"playback in ZONE2/ZONE3" or "playback in the main
room/ZONE2/ZONE3". For connection, use a monaural
mini plug cable.
