Ext (External) Remote Control
Input Jack
Your Ztuner accepts the infrared signal of any popular infrared repeater system to facilitate
remote control operation from another room or when your tuner is installed within a closed
cabinet. This connector is a
1
⁄
8
" (3.5 mm) two conductor mini jack; its center conductor (plug tip)
is +, its outer conductor (plug sleeve) is - .
Note
: this input does not require an amplified IR connecting block.
Loop Jack
A Loop out jack is provided as a convenience so you may pass along or “daisy-chain” the incoming
IR repeater signal to another remote-controlled component.
Automatic Turn On Options
For convenience the Ztuner can be triggered to turn on automatically when a suitable voltage
is applied to its 12V In (input) jack. When automatic turn on is selected the Ztuner front panel
Power button is disabled so that on/off is determined solely by the triggering preamp or controller.
Man (Manual) Auto Switch
Man Position
When the Man Auto switch is in its Man (manual) position, the auto turn on function is disabled
and the Ztuner must be turned on and off manually with the Power button on its front panel.
Auto position
When the Man Auto switch is set to its Auto position, the Ztuner is turned on and off with an
ex9 V to + 12 V voltage from your controller or preamplifier. When the external voltage
ceases the Ztuner will turn off immediately. The Auto switch position disables the front panel
Power button.
12V In Connection
The Ztuner 12V input uses a 2.5 mm sub-mini jack. To trigger the Ztuner, plug one end of the
provided cord into this jack and the other end into the source component’s trigger output. Some
components may use a 3.5 mm trigger output jack, so we have also included a 3.5 mm jack -
2.5 mm plug adapter.
If the control component’s trigger output is a + and - terminal, you can cut the 2.5 mm plug off
one end of the included trigger wire and attach the bare wires to these terminals. The lead with
the white stripe on it corresponds to the plug’s tip and the unmarked lead corresponds to the
sleeve of the plug.
Note
: If the trigger voltage source is DC, the trigger plug tip must be + (positive) and its sleeve
- (negative). The Ztuner trigger current draw is a negligible 15 mA.
