MrC Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Does anyone know how to get the Onkyo 875 to trigger the Elektra Theatron on and off ? There is a 12v trigger on the back of the Onkyo but this is to trigger a Zone 2 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
50mxe20 Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 This has got me intrigued cause I downloaded the manual and don't see how to do it either (short of trading in your amp ). There must be a way. What about if you just let zone 2 fire up with the main? Will that allow it to work?

SHORTY Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Does anyone know how to get the Onkyo 875 to trigger the Elektra Theatron on and off ?There is a 12v trigger on the back of the Onkyo but this is to trigger a Zone 2 device. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I posted this back in March and still have them...... I've set up my cabinet with some cooling fans running off a 240v to 12v transformer which is connected to the euro 2 pin 240v out, at the back of the 875. Now when the 875 turns on, my cabinet automatically cools.I ordered a couple of extra cables ready to be converted in the same manner. They are the 250v rated male 2 pin euro plug one end with a figure eight female on the other (which is chopped and replaced with an Aussie female 3 pin). They're 1.5m long. I couldn't find any such cable in Australia. If anyone's interested in one of these cables for $15 plus whatever it cost to post it you, let me know. Only 2 left.
MrC Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) I posted this back in March and still have them...... So Shorty .. I use the 240volt pin plug to connect to a transformer that converts to 12v output. You plug that in to the Elektra 12 volt trigger IN ? PM sent .... Edited May 17, 2008 by mr campbell

MrC Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Yep!I actually suggested this aswell over on the other thread before my posts dissappeared... Thanks Joz for your reply. Where can I get such a contraption ? Is it a normal power plug that goes into the back of the Onkyo 875 ?
mgrobins Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 This was one of the reasons I opted for the integra 7.8. I didn't see this thread before I commited to the integra . It's frustrating not having the trigger as an assignable item.

Hi again Mr C,again this contraption is available from good ol Jaycar. I'm assumming though that your receiver has a 240 volt out on the back. If it has you just plug it in there. The contraption looks much like a mobile phone charger but with the output pins suiting the inputs on the E7. In case you get there and need to know,it has a positive center pin. Check out the triggered pwer boards while there.
