Other Rear Panel Connections
12 V Input Jack
The 12 V In jack is used to automatically turn the Halo Integrated on and off by an external
device. This input only functions when the Turn On Options switch is set to the 12 V position.
When 12 volts is supplied to this jack the Halo Integrated will turn on and when the 12 volts is
removed it will turn off.
12 V Output Jack
If you are using an additional power amplifier you may find it convenient for the Halo Integrated
to turn it on and off automatically. If your power amplifier is equipped with a 12 V trigger input,
connect the trigger cable (included) between the Halo Integrated’s 12 V Out jack and the
external amplifier’s 12 V trigger input. When the Halo Integrated is powered on, 12 volts will be
present at the 12 V output jack and your amp will turn on automatically.
IR Input Jack
Your Halo Integrated is compatible with most popular infrared repeater systems for remote
control operation from another room or when the Halo Integrated is installed in a cabinet where
its remote handset signals cannot reach its front panel remote control sensor. The External
Remote Input connector is a standard 1/8” (3.5 mm) mono “mini” jack. The center conductor
(plug tip) is for signal and the outer conductor (plug sleeve) is for ground
.
Your Authorized
Parasound dealer or custom installer can recommend a compatible IR repeater system.
IR Loop Output Jack
The loop output offers a convenient way to daisy chain an IR signal to another piece of
equipment. Whatever IR control signal is present at the rear panel IR Input jack will also be
present at the IR Loop Out jack.
AC Power Cord
The AC cord supplied with your Halo Integrated is a high quality IEC type cord. If possible, plug
your Halo Integrated into the same AC outlet that your source components and power amplifier
are plugged into. If different AC outlets are used for the Halo Integrated and your other
components the ground potential may be higher or lower between the outlets, resulting in
audible hum.
