Troubleshooting | Appendix

You can enable the control functions between the unit and 

external devices. Special devices or cable connections are 

necessary to enable the functions. For more information 

about installation, contact a store specializing in these 

products.

■ RS232 port

Use this port for connection with an integrated control 

system that can enable home automation. Some integrated 

control systems provide a centralized operation with a 

single touch panel controller in order to control audio and 

video home appliances and security devices together. For 

more information about adopting an integrated control 

system, contact the specialized stores.

■ IR jack

If you use a commercially available multiroom remote 

control kit with this jack, you can operate the unit with the 

remote controller even when you are in a separate room, 

or operate the unit with the remote controller even if its 

remote control sensor is difficult to see.

■ 12V trigger output jack

You can enable power link operation when you connect 

the unit and an external device such as power amplifier 

equipped with 12V trigger input jack. When the desired 

input is selected on the unit, the power link operation will 

be activated with a control signal of maximum 12 V/100mA 

output from the 12V TRIGGER OUT jack. You can select 

the zone to output the control signal in "5. Hardware" - 

"12V Trigger" in the Setup menu. For connection, use a 

monaural mini plug cable.
