USING THE STATUS LED INDICATOR
The 780-95
Plasma Friendly
IR Receiver includes a Status LED located just below the Talkback LED (See
Fig. 1
). This permits the
system to have a visible power ON/OFF indicator in the remote room.
When used with any of Xantech’s

ntertainment systems such as the MRC-88, MRC-44 (MRC44CB1
required) or the ZPR68-10 Pre-Amp as part of the normal
4-wire
hookup, connect the terminal marked STATUS on the 780-95
Plasma
Friendly
IR Receiver to the appropriate Zones STATUS (or CO) connection on the MRC or ZPR system controller. See
Figure 5
below.
This will give visual ON/OFF status of the associated zone on the AV System Controller.

In Single Zone systems, the Status LED could show the ON/OFF status of an AV Receiver. To achieve this, simply plug a 12vDC
adapter, such as the Xantech 786-00 Power Supply, into the
switched
AC Outlet of the AV Receiver. The 12v
‘+’
and
‘-’
leads are then
connected between the STATUS (
‘+’
lead) and GND (
‘-’
lead) terminals of the 780-95. The Connecting Block makes a convenient tie-
line for extending leads of the Power Supply to the actual terminals of the 780-95 as shown in
Figure 6
.
