MAESTRO M9
ARC (Audio Return Channel)
Connect the main HDMI output to an HDMI 1.4 display device ARC-en-
abled input to receive the audio signals from the sources connected directly
to the display. The ARC source selection on your Maestro M9 is labeled
Display. From the Display Input Menu in the Maestro M9, set CEC Control
to On for your chosen ouput and enable the ARC Control to receive the
audio from the display. (Note: the DISPLAY button on the front panel and
DISP on the remote control are for the Maestro M9 display brightness and
not the DISPLAY input selection.)
IR (Infra-red) Remote Control Connections
The Maestro M9 has two rear-panel Infrared (IR) inputs to allow for maxi-
mum control flexibility with standard IR remote controls. This allows you
to place an external infrared receiver where it can “see” the signal from the
remote control when the main equipment may be hidden. The IR connec-
tions are designed for “modulated” signals and wired for stereo or mono
3.5 mm jacks with “Tip” being the modulated signal and “Sleeve” being
ground.
Zone 1 IR - This is ideal to use when the front panel of the Maestro M9 is
hidden away in some dark closet or equipment rack. To prevent the possi-
bility of receiving multiple commands, when you connect an IR receiver to
this Z1 IR input, it will disable the front panel IR receiver.
Zone 2 IR - Allows for control of source and volume functions of Zone 2.
12V Trigger Connections
The Maestro M9 has two rear-panel 12 Volt trigger outputs that can be
used to remotely trigger such things as external power amplifier turn-on,
projector power on, and screen automation. Each external device must have
12 Volt triggering capability for this to work. The jacks are designed for
3.5 mm mono connectors with “Tip” being the 12 Volt trigger output and
“Sleeve” being ground. Each jack is capable of outputting a 12 Volt, 70 mA
switching signal. This not to be used for any other purpose such as jump
starting the old car on a frosty morning.
