Inputs
Each trigger must be configured to be associated with one or more Inputs. The trigger will only be
active when one or more of the Inputs it is associated with are active.
Speakers
For triggers associated with the Main Zone, the trigger will only be active when, in addition to the
chosen Input, one or more of the Speaker groups associated with the trigger is active. A Speaker
group is considered to be active when the speakers in the group are NOT set to None in the
Speaker Size Menu, and when you are using a Mode that uses that Speaker group. (Surrounds will
be active in modes like Dolby TrueHD and PLIIx, will not be active in Reference Stereo, and may or
may not be active in Auto mode, depending on which Modes your XMC-1 has chosen to use.)
Note: The triggers respond based on how the XMC-1 is configured; the XMC-1 does not detect
the presence or absence of an active audio signal on specific channels.
Note: The option to configure associated speaker groups only pertains to the Main Zone.
Therefore, if you only have Zone 2 checked for a particular trigger, the speakers column will not
be displayed. however, if you have both Zone 2 and the Main Zone checked for that trigger, the
speakers column will be displayed; but please remember that the settings in that column oNly
pertain to the Main Zone and don't affect the status of Zone 2 triggering .
By default, the triggers on the XMC-1 are configured as follows:
• Trigger 1: Main Zone (only), ALL Inputs, ALL Speakers
• Trigger 2: Zone 2 (only), ALL Inputs
• Trigger 3: Main Zone AND Zone 2, ALL Inputs, ALL Speakers
• Trigger 4: Main Zone AND Zone 2, ALL Inputs, ALL Speakers
Headphone
Since triggers are most often used to switch amplifiers On and Off, the triggers on the XMC-1 are
normally configured to be disabled when a pair of headphones is plugged into the front panel
headphone jack. If you uncheck the Headphone Override box for a particular trigger, this override
will be disabled.
Note: The headphone override option is useful if you are using one of the XMC-1's triggers to
activate your monitor, and you sometimes watch TV wearing headphones; if you uncheck the
headphone override for that trigger, then that trigger will remain active (assuming the other
configured conditions are met), even when headphones are plugged in.
Note: The XMC-1 detects when headphones are connected by sensing a plug physically inserted
into the front panel headphone jack. If you leave a headphone extension - with no headphones
attached - plugged into the jack, the XMC-1 will act as if headphones are connected. Also,
obviously, if you use a separate headphone amplifier connected to one of the XMC-1's outputs,
the XMC-1 will be unaware that you're using headphones.
