USING THE REMOTE TRIGGER 

Remote Turn On/Off Control Connections 

The RA2400/RA7300 features a built-in remote trigger that can be setup to automatically activate 

the amplifier when another device in the sound system is switched on. 

When Using Products Equipped With a Low Voltage Trigger Jack 

Switch the RA2400/RA7300’s rear panel power switch so that it is in the ON position. Then, using 

an accessory cable with a 3.5mm mono mini-plug on each end, connect the trigger-output jack on 

the rear of the source device to the trigger input jack on the back panel of the RA2400/RA7300. 

When these connections are made, the RA2400/RA7300 should automatically turn on/off whenever 

the triggering device is turned on/off. 

When Using External AC to DC Power Converter 

If your source device does not have a dedicated trigger jack, it is still possible to activate the 

RA2400/RA7300 for automatic turn on/off.  If a switched outlet is available on an external device, it 

can be used to activate the RA2400/RA7300. 

 To control the RA2400/RA7300 in this fashion you will need a small AC to DC power converter, 

capable of delivering a 3.3 to 24 volt DC signal. 

 The DC voltage should terminate to a standard 3.5mm type mini plug (tip + and shield -). This 

type of converter may be obtained as a power adapter from many electronics retailers. 

 When installing, press the main power switch on the back of the RA2400/RA7300 so that it is in 

the ON position. 

 Plug the AC adapter into the switched outlet of the source device that you wish to use to activate 

the RA2400/RA7300.  The source device could be the switched outlet at the rear of an AC receiver 

or other audio equipment. 

 Connect the 3.5mm mini-plug from the adapter to the trigger-input jack on the back panel of the 

RA2400/RA7300.  Once connected the RA2400/RA7300 should now turn on/off automatically, 

based on the status of the controlling device.
