The signal from the M

subwoofer, enabling the local system to
deliver improved bass performance that will greatly enhance
the listening experience when playing film soundtracks or
musical performance videos.
Volume changes made with the front-panel I

adjustments or via IR commands will also effect the level of

The ASAP3D SE has a set of rear-panel
DIP switches (see
Figure 11) that lets
you select the different methods for
triggering the switch from the House
source to the Local source.

AC:
The ASAP3D SE will switch to the Local source when a TV
set that is connected to the ASAP3D SE’s AC Trigger Outlet is
turned ON. See
AC Trigger Outlet, on page 8.

Voltage Trigger Connections
When the ASAP3D SE’s V
OLT
trigger
mode switch is set to the ON position,
the source can be switched from House
to Local by an external trigger voltage
appearing at the V
OLTAGE
T
RIGGER
I
N
connections (see
Figure 12). The trig-
ger voltage must be between 5V and
24V, either AC or DC, usually supplied
by the
Status output from an IR control
system.
The V
OLTAGE
T
RIGGER
O
UT
connection (see
Figure 12) supplies
a 12V DC trigger signal whenever the Local source is ON.
This trigger can be used to control other devices, such as
Sonance AL2/AS2 automatic secondar y switches, other
Sonamps or 12V DC relays.
The V
OLTAGE
T
RIGGER
connections feature a removable 4-wire
quick connector similar to the ones used for the speaker
connections. To wire the connector see the sidebar on page 6.
IR Input
The IR I
NPUT
connection (see
Figure 13)
allows the ASAP3D SE’s Local/House
source switching to be triggered by an
IR signal from a keypad controller or
other IR control device.
The IR I
NPUT
connections feature a
removable 16AWG
4-wire quick
connector similar to the ones used for
the speaker connections. To wire the
connector see the sidebar on page 6.
The connections are as follows:
+
= +12V DC
D
= Data
GND
= Ground
S
= Status
See
Appendix 2, on page 13, for a list of IR-controllable
functions. IR control codes for the ASAP3D SE can be down-
loaded from the Sonance website: www.sonance.com.
