CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
(POWER CONTROL)
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of individual components. To avoid the necessity of switching
them on and off before and after every use, many manufacturers have equipped their devices with what
is known as “POWER CONTROL” circuit or “TRIGGER”. This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is
used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers. Particularly for preamplifiers and main amplifiers
this kind of remote standby control is utilized, as power amplifiers are often placed far from other de-
vices near the speakers. To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable connections must be made
between the preamplifier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which support this function. The
“POWER CONTROL” function operates in such a way that each switching on or off of one device in the
system (usually the preamplifier) automatically brings about the switching on or off of all the connected
devices which support this function. Please keep in mind that all devices which respond to the power
control are not disconnected from the mains network when switched off. They are set to a standby state
instead. For connecting cables, two-core cables with 3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are used. For each
connection between two devices one of those cables is needed.
If you don‘t wish to use this function or if the other components do not support it, all you have to do is
leave out these cable connections.
The SV-237MKII is equipped with two output connectors for the power control. Here, the switching
signal generated by the amplifier is available for other components of the system. Two HiFi components
that are able to react to the power control signal can be connected directly to the amplifier‘s power
control outputs (18). If more than two devices, which can be controlled, are to be connected, then it is
necessary to make the power control connection between the amplifier and these further devices through
the outputs of the two devices which are connected directly. For that reason, every HiFi component that
accepts power control signals is also equipped with a power control output. Thus, in theory it is possible
to provide an infinite number of HiFi components with the power control signal. This approach, to loop
a signal through a chain of components, is commonly referred to as “daisy chaining”.
