Connecting a USB device
It is possible to listen to two-channel audio using the USB
interface on the front of this receiver.
Switch the receiver into standby then connect your USB
device to the USB terminal on the front panel of this
receiver.
• Push down on the
PUSH OPEN
tab to access the
USB
terminal.
• This receiver does not support a USB hub.
• For instructions on playing the USB device, see
Playing a
USB device
on page 28.
Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control
in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as
a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the
remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.
Note
• Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from
a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR
terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your
component to check for IR compatibility.
Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on the
rear of this receiver.
For more information on connecting the IR receiver, see the
Installation Instructions for the IR Receiver.
Switching components on and off using the
12 volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a
screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on or
off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input function.
However, you must specify which input functions switch on
the trigger using the
The 12 V Trigger Setting
on page 42.
Note
that this will only work with components that have a standby
mode.
Connect the 12 V TRIGGER jack of this receiver to the 12
V trigger of another component.
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the
connection.
After you’ve specified the input functions that will switch on
the trigger, you’ll be able to switch the component on or off
just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set on page 42.
