This chapter explains how to use and connect the [REMOTE]

connector and [FAULT OUTPUT] connector located on the rear

panel of the XMV.

 Using the [REMOTE] Connector

You can connect switches to the rear panel [REMOTE] connec-

tor (page 15), and use them to remotely mute/unmute all chan-

nels or switch the power standby/on status.

From the left, the [REMOTE] connector consists of MUTE

ALL, STANDBY, and GND pins.

The [REMOTE] connector uses a Euroblock plug.

For details on how to connect Euroblock plugs, refer to “Con-

necting the [REMOTE] Connector or [FAULT OUTPUT] Con-

nector” (page 22).
