Using The 12V Triggers - Onkyo PR-SC5508 Instruction Manual

Using the 12V Triggers

The 12V triggers A, B, and C can be used to turn on 12V
trigger-capable components automatically when they are
selected as the input source. The triggers can be set so that
they activate when a connected component is selected as
the input source for the main room, Zone 2, Zone 3 or any
combination of rooms.
When triggered, the output from a 12V TRIGGER OUT
goes high (+12 volts and 150 milliamperes max. at TRIG-
GER OUT A; +12 volts and 25 milliamperes max. at
TRIGGER OUT B and C).
Hookup
• Use a miniplug cable to connect the AV controller's 12V
TRIGGER OUT A, B, or C jack to the 12 V trigger input on
a connected component.
When several components are turned on simultaneously
by using triggers A, B, and C, depending on the type of
components, a large amount of current may be drawn
momentarily. To prevent this, you can delay trigger signals
A, B, and C individually. Another application for trigger
delay is eliminating the "thump" noise that's sometimes
heard when a source component is turned on.
Delaying the trigger signal for your power amplifier so
that it's the last component to be turned on will accom-
plish this.
