MOON P-7 Dual-Mono Preamplifier 
 
Software Setup   (continued) 
 
The  MOON P-7 is equipped with two 12 Volt trigger outputs.  When an input is assigned to a 12 Volt trigger, the device 
connected to the trigger will automatically start-up whenever you switch to that input.  The default setting for all seven inputs 
is on.  When you set the IR input to “Y”, all inputs previously set to “Y” for that trigger will automatically be set to “N”. Then 
the trigger will be controlled exclusively by an external IR signal. The following example shows how to configure one of them: 
 
You may either continue where we left off in the previous example by pressing “Setup” twice to return to the main 
menu and the turn the volume control until “TRIG 1” appears in the display OR enter into the “Setup” mode from 
the beginning by pressing the “Setup” button and rotating the volume control until “TRIG 1” appears in the display. 
Press “OK” and “B1 : Y” will appear in the display. 
To disable the 12 Volt trigger, press “OK” and “B1 ? Y” appears in the display; rotate the volume control to 
alternate from “Y” to “N” . 
Press “OK” and “SAVED” will appear brielfy in the display followed by “B1 : N”. 
To configure another input, rotate the volume control until that input appears in the display, then press “OK”. 
Repeat steps 3 and 4. 
When you have finished with all of the inputs for the “TRIG 1” press the “Setup” button and “TRIG 1” will appear 
in the display. From this point you may go to four different locations in the Setup menu: 
 
•  To configure the second 12 Volt trigger output, rotate the volume control until “TRIG 2” appears in the 
display then press “OK” and repeat the above process beginning with step 3.   
• 
To exit from the Setup procedure, press the “Setup” button again and “EXITING” will appear in the display. 
•  To reset the software settings back to their factory defaults, rotate the volume control until “RESET” 
appears in the display (see the next example). 
• 
To configure the inputs (previous example) rotate the volume control until “INPUT” appears in the display. 
 
Reset the MOON P-7 software settings back to their factory defaults: 
 
You may either continue were we left off in the previous example by turning the volume control until “RESET” 
appears in the display OR enter into the “Setup” mode from the beginning by pressing the “Setup” button and then 
rotating the volume control until “RESET” appears in the display. 
Press “OK” and “RESET  N” will appear in the display. 
Rotate the volume control until “RESET  Y” appears in the display. 
Press “OK” and “SURE ? N” will appear in the display. 
Rotate the volume control until “SURE ? Y” appears in the display. 
Press “OK” and “SAVED” will briefly appear in the display followed by “RESET”. 
Press the “Setup” button again and “EXITING” will appear in the display. 
 
Assigning a custom label to an input: 
 
Using the example from the previous page for configuring an input, repeat steps 1 through 5. 
When “CUSTOM” appears in the display press the “OK” button.  The display will show “……………………………” . 
Rotate the volume control clockwise to scroll through the 26 letters of the English alphabet, first in uppercase and 
then lowercase, followed by the numbers 0 through 9, and finally several miscellaneous symbols including the 
space character.  When you see the letter/number/symbol you wish to use, press “OK” to select it and then repeat 
this step for the next character. 
You must assign all 8 characters when creating a custom input label; In the event that your label requires only 5 
characters, you will need to input a blank space for the remaining 3 characters. 
Once you’ve filled the last position, press”OK” and “SAVED” will briefly appear in the display followed by “INPUTS”. 
Press the “SETUP” button to exit from the Setup menu.
