powerinnumbers Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Maybe a silly question? How can I turn on my pre-amp / processor and have it turn on my amplifiers so I don't have to do it manually? Is that what 12V triggers are for or maybe the IR in/out? I have no idea Integra DHC 9.9>Yamaha RX-V1>Yamaha RX-V1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea Integra DHC 9.9>Yamaha RX-V1>Yamaha RX-V1 yes what 12V triggers are for. usually hook up with 3.5mm mono cable to 3.5mono at other end into item you want to turn on. no idea if your gear is capable. but the doc 9.9 be surprised if didnt have 12V triggers being a processor. most AVrs have them too just take a peek at back panel. and check manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerinnumbers Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 Thanks betty boop the Yamahas have Remote In and Remote out plus also a control in. So I don't know what the dif is.

powerinnumbers Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 In the Yamaha manual the Remote In / out is for remote emitters and receivers , aka IR blasters. It does not look like its meant for normal power on / off. The other option, the RS232C/Ctrl OUT +5V terminal has a description that says " expansion for commercial use, consult your dealer" Not too hlpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerinnumbers Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 There must be a safety issue, " must not be sold in NSW " Im in SA and no stock anyway So I was hoping someone might have done this before, I appreciate your ideas, I'll just wait to see if anyone has actually done it.

You need the 5 volt trigger output for your power amp ; better ones and more modern pre's/avrs have a healthy 12v like a cxa5100 to make sure things switch reliably Like Al said make sure you don't overload any inputs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdh500 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) I had an earlier model Yamaha AVR that had a 5V trigger out, it worked fine triggering both a Rotel and Elektra Audio Power amp to turn on and off even though these amps were design to accept 12V input.

JDH thanks. I need to go from the Integra though. I should just give it a try at least, I hope I can't damage it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
