+12VDC Trigger Out

A +12VDC Output Trigger is located below the ALL ON Trigger. This allows daisy chained
amplifiers to turn on and off.
This signal is active when any of the top or first amplifier channel(s) is active or "ON". When
all amplifier channels are "OFF", the +12VDC trigger signal is removed or "OFF"
Special Note on Triggers
Once any channel receives any of the following commands, it will stop watching the trigger
input jack related to the channel:
Mute, Unmute, Mute Toggle, Power ON, Power OFF, Power Toggle.
The only way to return a channel to watching the trigger input is to restore Trigger Control
or restore Factory Defaults. Restoring Dealer Defaults may work, but it would depend on
when the IR command was sent (before or after the Dealer Save).
Once a channel is controlled by IR, it will always AC power on to the OFF state. This is to
prevent accidental music playing due to an AC power loss with an always on audio source.
This is shown on the Volume Menu as Trigger OFF. When the channel is turned on with a
Power ON command, it will display as Trigger ON with audio or Trigger ON/PS if there is
no audio present and the Power Save is enabled. The Power ON command will restore the
volume level using the Min/Max Turn On Volume parameters. When a channel is turned
on by ending Mute, the volume is restored to the previous level, regardless of the preset
Min/Max Turn On parameters.
