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 Input Setup 
menu
 on page 43. 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.
• The  trigger maximum power is DC OUT 12 V/50 mA.
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 43.
Connecting a PC for Advanced MCACC 
output
When using Auto MCACC (page 78) or Acoustic 
Calibration EQ Professional (page 83) to calibrate the 
reverb characteristics of your listening room, the 3D 
graphs of the reverb characteristics in your listening 
room (before and after calibration) can be checked on a 
computer screen by connecting the receiver to the 
computer and using a special application to transfer the 
data. The various MCACC parameters can also be 
checked on the computer.
Use a commercially-available RS-232C cable to connect 
the RS-232C jack on your computer to the 9-pin RS-232C
