Specifications

Note that only qualified technicians should attempt to make use of the spe-

cial capabilities afforded by this communications port.

15 IR INPUT

⁄8" “mini” jack labeled ir input near the lower right corner of the rear

panel provides direct access to the infrared control circuitry of the AVP. It

may be configured during setup (in an on screen menu) to interpret in-

coming signals in either of two ways:

•

Remote: when in Remote mode, the AVP will interpret any com-

mand entering through the remote IR jack as being intended to

affect the record/remote path only. This feature allows easy ac-

cess to all sources connected to the AVP from elsewhere in the

house with the addition of any commercially-available IR repeater.

• Local: when in the Local mode the remote IR jack responds to

all commands, as the infrared receiver in the main display of the

front panel would. This mode is most often used with an IR re-

peater when the AVP and other components are placed inside of

cabinets (preventing the normal IR receiver from receiving remote

commands). (See The Setup Menu.)

The incoming signal for the remote IR input should conform to widely-ac-

cepted IR repeater standards: that is, the signal present should be between

3-15 volts DC at less than 100 mA current, with a positive tip polarity, as

shown below:

IR input tip polarity

+–

5-12 volts @ less

than 100 mA

Your Proceed dealer can help you take advantage of these design features

to maximize your system’s versatility.

16 DC TRIGGERS

Each of the two remote on/off triggers can be configured by your installer

to provide either 5V or 12V DC trigger signals, either in response to the AVP

coming out of standby into operate, or in response to an independent IR

command

. The tip polarity for each of these triggers is as shown below:

+–

5-12 volts @ less

than 100 mA

These triggers provide some degree of control and automation over prod-

ucts that lack more sophisticated communications capabilities. For example,

you could have one of these triggers toggle your amplifier(s) on and off ac-

cording to the operational status of the AVP, while the other served to lower

the screen for your projection television when a particular IR command was

received.
