Customizing the Nº502 Mark Levinson
can be activated by selecting a specific Activity or by taking the Nº502 out
of Standby mode.
For example, you might have an Activity Setup called “Movie”. When the
Movie Activity is selected, Trigger 1 activates to lower the video screen for
your front projection system, while Trigger 2 activates to close the
window shades. This example has Trigger 1 and Trigger 2 activated by an
Activity.
If Trigger 3 is set to activate when the Nº502 is taken out of Standby
mode, it might send a signal to the amplifiers so that they are powered up
at the same time.
Trigger Activation
The first decision you need to make is how you want the trigger outputs
activated – by the selection of an Activity or by leaving the Standby mode.
To set the activation method, enter the Setup>User Options>Control
Options menu. This menu has four available selections, Trigger 1 to
Trigger 4, allowing you to set the trigger activation methods individually.
Select the trigger location that you want to set up, and then select the
activation method:
• Out of Standby – activates the trigger when the Nº502 is removed
from Standby mode.
• On Demand Only – activates the trigger only when a specific
Activity is selected.
When activated, the trigger supplies a 12V signal to the associated rear
panel Trigger connector.
On Demand Only
Setup
When the On Demand Only option is selected, you must then configure
the specific Activity that turns on the trigger.
To associate the Activity to an On Demand Only trigger, go to the
Setup>Activities menu. Select the Activity that you want the trigger
activation associated with and then select the Triggers option.
The triggers can be set to two different states for each specific Activity:
• Trigger On – selecting the Activity supplies a 12V signal to the
associated rear panel Trigger connector.
• Trigger Off – the Trigger supplies no voltage to the associated rear
panel Trigger connector when the Activity is selected.
Note Any of the Trigger Outputs can also be assigned to a Function key on the
remote control. In this case, the Trigger Output is activated whenever the
Function key is pressed.
