12
V Output Jack
If an additional power amplifier is equipped with a 12 V trigger input you may find it convenient
for the HINT 6 to turn it on and off automatically. Connect the trigger cable (included) between
the HINT 6’s 12 V Out jack and the external amplifier’s 12 V trigger input. When the HINT 6 is
powered on, 12 volts will be present at the 12 V output jack and your amp will turn on
automatically.
Note:
The 12 V trigger wire included with the HINT 6 has mono plugs. A cable with stereo
plugs such as an aux cable will not work.
IR Input Jack
Your HINT 6 is compatible with most popular infrared repeater systems for remote control
operation from another room or when the HINT 6 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 component that
is also equipped with an IR input jack. Whatever IR control signal is present at the HINT 6 rear
panel IR Input jack is also present at its IR Loop Out jack.
AC Power Cord
The AC power cord supplied with your HINT 6 is a high quality IEC-type cord. If possible, plug
your HINT 6 into the same AC outlet to which your source components and additional power
amplifier(s) are plugged in to. If different AC outlets are used for the HINT 6 and your other
components the ground potential may be higher or lower between the outlets, resulting in
audible hum.
