Use with active loudspeakers
The  features pre-amplifier outputs on the back panel (PRE OUT) for
use with active loudspeakers.
The  can be expanded to form a fully-featured 3.1 system by
connecting a pair of active speakers and an active sub-woofer.
In a 3.1 system the  acts as Centre speaker, and should therefore be
set up close to the television.
The  can also be operated exclusively with external active
loudspeakers. In this case the integral speakers are unused.
The desired mode of operation can be set in the System Configuration menu.
See the chapter 'System settings (System Configuration menu) /
Loudspeakers' on page 43.
If compatible  active speakers (see list below) are connected to the unit,
for
they can be switched on and off by means of a switching voltage (trigger signal)
via the Cinch cable. This eliminates the need for any additional control lead.
See the chapter 'System settings (System Configuration menu) /
Loudspeakers /  active speaker auto-on' on page 43.

If you connect different (active) loudspeakers or power amplifiers to the unit,
the trigger voltage should be set to 'Off'.

 KS Active
A trigger voltage (switching voltage) is available at the  E LINK socket (see
Fig. 1) on the back panel of the . Active loudspeakers with a suitable
interface can be switched on and off under the control of this voltage.
This feature enables immediate music playback, without any delay, and
prevents the speakers being switched off when there are pauses in the music
The Trigger output has a high impedance (+5 V DC at 1 kOhm impedance),

and therefore cannot directly control large switching loads such as power
relays.
