Attaching Audio Source Equipment To The Concerto Amplifier; Source Status Inputs; Connecting The Ir Emitters - Nuvo Concerto NV-I8DMS User Manual

VI. Attaching Audio Source Equipment to the
Concerto Amplifier (fig. 5)
Each piece of audio equipment is connected to the
Concerto amplifier with standard stereo RCA cables.
Attach the RCA cable to the corresponding audio out-
put on the source equipment and to the desired source
input on the back of the Concerto amplifier. The num-
bered input for each source is important in the config-
uration of the system, and will be covered in detail in
the Concerto Configurator portion of this manual.

VII. Connecting the IR Emitters (fig. 6)
IR commands for the source equipment are transferred
from the Concerto amplifier to the source equipment
using the mini IR mouse emitters. Six of these are sup-
plied with your Concerto System. The emitter is
plugged into the corresponding source IR output on
the Concerto and then placed over the IR receiver win-
dow on the source component. The IR outputs are indi-
vidually routed to sources 1-6.
The two SUM outputs will flash any IR command that
is sent from any of the zones. This is used to connect
the NuVo T3 Tuner to the Concerto System or an IR
blaster designed to flash IR commands to a variety of
components. This is done by plugging a single mono
1/8" patch cable into the SUM IR output and into the
Direct IR input on the T3.

VIII. Source Status Inputs (fig. 7)
The source status inputs can be very useful for moni-
toring the power status of your audio sources. Some
equipment uses "toggling commands" for powering on
and off (that is, the commands for on and off are not
separate discrete commands). This situation is typical-
ly confusing when using a single button to initiate to a
piece of source equipment a string of commands that
includes power on. With "toggling" equipment, if the
unit is already on, you will inadvertently turn it off.
The source status inputs give the Concerto System the
ability to sense that the source equipment is on so it
can automatically bypass that command.
Using these inputs requires an AC power-sensing mod-
ule. These are readily available from electronic acces-
sory manufacturers and typically attach to the AC
power cord of the desired source equipment. The con-
nection at the back of the concerto is a mono 1/8" jack.
Once this is in place, the Concerto System will sense
the amount of AC current being drawn by the source
equipment.
