Rear Panel Features
1. AUTO/ON/OFF Switch
Your Cinema Grand AmpliÞ er is       
designed with an automatic on/off 
circuit. 
•    In the AUTO-ON po si tion, the 
am pli Þ  er will automatically 
turn on if an audio signal is 
present at the right front or 
center inputs, or if it receives 
a 12 VDC input voltage at the 
trigger inputs. The ampliÞ er 
will automatically turn off after 
a few seconds if the trigger 
voltage is removed, or after  
approximately 30 minutes in 
the ab sence of an audio signal.
•    In the ON position, the ampli-
Þ er is always on, regardless of 
input signals or 12 VDC trigger.
•    In the OFF position, the ampli-
Þ er is always off, regardless of 
input signals or 12 VDC trigger.
2. 12 VDC Trigger Input
Although the AUTO-ON signal 
sensing turn-on is ad e quate for most 
installations, the 12 VDC trigger inputs 
are offered as an op tion al way to turn 
on the ampliÞ er. 
The SunÞ re Theater Grand II, III 
and IV Processors have a com pat i ble 
12 VDC trigger output (see page 11). 
This can be used to automatically turn 
on the Cinema Grand when the The-
ater Grand Processor is turned on
1/8" mono mini jacks are provided 
for ease of installation, along with a 
terminal strip to allow more ß exibility 
for custom-wired installations. The 
terminal strip and both mini jacks are 
internally connected in parallel, allow-
ing 'daisy chaining' to turn on multiple 
ampliÞ ers.
Any 1/8" miniplug mono or stereo 
interconnect cable will sufÞ ce to con-
nect the trigger output of the Theater 
Grand preamplifer to the ampliÞ er.
Do not exceed 18 VDC on 
this input. (CAU TION:  Do 
not connect AC line voltage 
to this input!)
The voltage range for the trigger 
input is from 5 to 18 VDC. The input 
impedance is approximately 600 Ω 
(20 mA @ 12V).
3. RCA Inputs
Your Cinema Grand AmpliÞ er has 
three sets of inputs for each of the Þ ve 
chan nels. Two are un bal anced RCA 
in puts and one is a balanced XLR 
type.
The two RCA inputs for each chan-
nel are joined together internally, and 
either one can be connected to the 
cor re spond ing output of your pream-
pliÞ er. The other can be used as a 
daisy-chaining output, sending the 
pream pli Þ  er output signal to another 
channel or to another ampliÞ er.
