Turn On Options
For convenience, there are three ways the P 5 can be turned on and off:
Manual -
Press the On-Off button on the front panel or the On and Off buttons on
the remote control.
Automatic -
When a 12V trigger voltage is applied to the 12V input jack.
Automatic -
Whenever the P 5’s AC power source is live.
Note:
When either automatic turn on option is selected the front panel
On-Off button is disabled so that power on/off is determined solely
by the triggering device or live AC power.
Turn On Options Switch:
Manual Position
When the Turn On Options switch is in its Manual position, the Turn On Options automatic
functions are disabled and the P 5 must be turned on and off manually by pressing the On-
Off button on its front panel every time you wish to use your audio system.
12V Position (Automatic on/off)
When the Turn On Options switch is set to its 12V position, the P 5 is turned on and off only
with an ex9 V to + 12 V voltage from your preamp or AV Receiver. When the external
voltage ceases the P 5 will turn off immediately. The 12V switch position disables the front
panel On-Off button.
AC Power Trigger
The P 5 will turn on automatically when its AC power source is switched on.
Note:
When the Auto Turn On switch is set to 12V or AC the front panel
On-Off button and remote control On and Off buttons are disabled.
3.5mm Mini Jack and 2.5mm Sub-mini Jacks
Some models of Parasound power amplifiers and preamplifiers use 2.5mm “sub-mini” trigger jacks.
To use the P 5 with these models we include a trigger wire with a 3.5mm plug at one end and a
2.5mm plug at the other end.
