Turning on the unit in conjunction with operating other devices (trigger function)
The trigger function can control power of the unit in conjunction with operating other devices or
control power of other devices in conjunction with turning on/off the unit. If you have a power
amplifier or a Yamaha subwoofer that supports the trigger function, you can use the trigger
function by connecting your devices to the TRIGGER jacks with the supplied system control cable.
Depending on the intended use, connect your device to one of the following TRIGGER jacks.
IN jack:
For connecting a device that supports the trigger output function (such as a pre-amplifier).
If you turn on/off your device, the unit will automatically turns on/off (standby).
• This function is available only when z (power) of the unit is on (pressed down).
THROUGH OUT jack:
This jack outputs signals input from the IN jack.
If you connect a device that supports the trigger input function (such as another power amplifier),
your device will automatically turn on/off in conjunction with turning on/off the device connected
to the IN jack.
OUT jack:
For connecting a device that supports the trigger input function (such as a subwoofer).
If you turn on/off (standby) the unit, your device will automatically turns on/off.
• To connect multiple devices to the TRIGGER jacks, you need to prepare commercially-available monaural
mini-plug cables.
