To use another device with a 12 volt
trigger output jack to automatically
power on the XA5180:
1. Set the MANUAL/TRIGGER switch
on the rear panel of the
XA5180 to the Trigger position.
2. Connect a 3.5mm mono mini-plug
from the trigger-output jack of
the source device to the
REMOTE TRIGGER jack on the

If you set the MANUAL/TRIGGER switch
to Trigger, but don’t connect the XA5180 to
another device, the status LED’s will be
bright blue, but the amplifier will not respond
if you press the power button.
If your processor or receiver does not
have a dedicated trigger jack, it is still
possible to activate the unit for automatic
turn on when a switched outlet is avail-
able on the rear of the source device. You
will need a small AC to DC power
converter, capable of delivering a 6 to 12
volt DC signal. The DC voltage should
terminate in a standard 3.5mm type
mini plug. This type of converter may be
obtained as a Power Adapter from many
electronics retailers.
To use an external AC to DC power
converter to automatically power
on the XA5180
1. Plug the AC adapter into a switched
outlet that will be activated when
on
.
This may be the switched outlet at the
rear of an AC receiver or other audio
equipment.
2. Connect a 3.5mm mini-plug from
the AC adapter to the REMOTE

CAUTION:
Do not plug the XA5180
directly into the “Switched Accessory”
outlet of another device! These
outlets are intended for use with low cur-
rent draw products having a low current
draw, such as tuners, CD players or cas-
sette decks. These outlets cannot handle
It is not recommended that you con-
with a high current draw, to the same AC
power circuit as the XA5180, unless they
are used with the remote power turn on
and sequencing system. The simultane-
same circuit may cause circuit breakers to
trip, due to the high current draw.
