Setup Menu Level Six - DC Trigger Assignment Procedures
You can program the external Main (or 1) and/or the Zone (or 2) +12 V DC Triggers on the
rear panel to activate when any of several “events” occur during operation. The variety of
triggering events offer virtually unlimited automation options. If you select Polarity Invert,
it does not mean that the +/- are reversed at its jack. Instead, Polarity Invert means that the
activation rule is reversed. This means that trigger output is normally active and it only turns
off when the event is selected. For example, you could set the DC trigger to turn on the
lights in your home theater whenever you turn the AVC-2500 off by changing the polarity
for the
POWER event from NORM to INV . You can also set the delay time of either trigger from
no delay ( 0 s ) to a maximum delay of ninety seconds ( 90 s ).
