momentary contact switch (A) and a motion detector
(B) to the DC-MP3 input header. The push button is
connected to trigger input 2 and the motion detector
is connected to trigger input 1. The push button is a
normally open switch, meaning it closes the circuit
when activated. The motion detector is a normally
closed switch, meaning it opens the circuit when
activated.
