AUDIO: 

 

To activate, flip the 

AUDIO 

switch ON. The BB50-S will 

turn ON when an audio signal appears at the 

LINE IN

 or the 

(B) SPEAKERS 

IN

 jacks, depending on which is selected. The audio signal level required for 

turn ON is set by the front panel SENS adjustment. 

When you select 

LINE IN

, the SENS level range is 10mV at full CW to 35mV 

at full CCW. 

When you select 

(B) SPEAKERS IN

, the SENS level range is 135mV at full CW 

to 470mV at full CCW.

Set the SENS by first rotating it and the DELAY to full CCW positions. If the 
BB50-S does not switch ON with audio signal playing, rotate the SENS CW a 
little at a time until it does.

Next, rotate the DELAY CW until you find a place where the BB50-S does not 
shut OFF and ON too frequently with low music levels or during track and 
disc changes on CDs, DVDs, etc.

Since the DELAY range is 3 seconds at full CCW and 2.5 minutes at full CW, 
you should be able to find a good compromise between frequent shut OFFs 
and too long a time for turn OFF after music ends.

VIDEO:

  To activate, flip the 

VIDEO

 switch ON. The BB50-S will turn ON 

when a video signal from a DVD, VCR, etc., appears at the VIDEO IN jack. It 
will turn OFF when the video signal goes off.

DC 12V: 

To activate, flip the 

DC 12V

 switch ON. The BB50-S will turn ON 

when a DC or AC voltage of 4-24 Volts from a trigger source appears at the 

12V DC/AC CONTROL

 terminals. 

Refer to Diagram 10

. It will turn OFF when 

the voltage drops below 1 Volt.
