POWER CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The TRIGGER jacks are used to remotely turn-on other devices in your system when the Cinema
11a is powered ON. Power is applied to the MAIN trigger output jack when the Cinema 11a is
turned on from the Standby Mode.
We recommend that this jack be used to turn on a power amplifier such as the Cary Audio Model
7.125 or Model 7.250, but it may also be used to activate compatible products such as projection
screens, lights or blinds.
Connect a 3.5mm mono mini-plug between the Trigger 1 jack on the rear panel of the Cinema
11a and the low voltage trigger jack of the device to be controlled to enable remote turn-on of
that component. The Trigger 2 or 3 jack is activated when the Zone 2 Multi-room system is
turned on and should be used for control of amplifiers used to power the speakers installed in the
remote zone. It will remain activated as long as the Zone 2 Multi-room system is on, even when
the Cinema 11a is in the Standby mode for the main room.
REMOTE CONTROL
The IR INPUT jacks allow you to extend the on-board remote control sensor on the Cinema 11a
so that you may continue to control the Cinema 11a even when it is installed behind solid or
smoked cabinet doors or when the front panel sensor is otherwise not visible to the remote
control.
To extend the remote sensor of the Cinema 11a’s main zone, connect an optional remote sensor
to the IR INPUT 1 jack. The IR INPUT 2 jack is provided to enable remote control of the Cinema
11a's 2
nd
zone through the use of an optional remote sensor with Zone 2. Connect the sensor to
the IR INPUT 2 jack using a 3.5 mm mono mini-plug and the wiring specified by the sensor's
manufacturer. (many companies offer external IR receivers for this purpose)
POWER CONNECTION
Insert the supplied power cord into the AC input on the rear panel of the processor.
Cables make a difference
: We suggest that different AC power cables and various RCA or XLR
patch cables can and do influence the possible sound of a system. Consult your dealer for advice
about using different cables in your system.
CAUTION:
Before you plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet, ensure all
connections to the processor have been made correctly.
WARNING:
Never disconnect the power cord from the Cinema 11a while the other
end is plugged into an AC outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock. Always
connect the power by plugging into the AC outlet last and disconnect by unplugging
from the AC outlet first.
