CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
Many AV-Systems consist of a multitude of indivi-
dual components. To avoid the necessity of swit-
ching them on and off before and after every use,
many manufacturers have equipped their devices
with what is known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit
or "TRIGGER". This kind of remote-controlled
standby circuit is used primarily for preamplifier
and power amplifiers. Particularly for preamplifiers
and main amplifiers this kind of remote standby
control is utilized, as power amplifiers are often
placed far from other devices near the speakers. To
employ these functions, direct or indirect cable
connections must be made between the preampli-
fier (or integrated amplifier) and all the devices
which support this function. The "POWER CON-
TROL" function operates in such a way that each
switching on or off of one device in the system (usu-
ally the preamplifier) automatically brings about
the switching on or off of all the connected devices
which support this function. Please keep in mind
that all devices which respond to the power control
are not disconnected from the mains network when
switched off. They are set to a standby state inste-
ad. For connecting cables, two-core cables with

(POWER CONTROL)
3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are used. For each con-
nection between two devices one of those cables is
needed.
If you don't wish to use this function or if the other
components do not support it, all you have to do is
leave out these cable connections.
The CD-S7 DAC is equipped with two output con-
nectors for the power control. Here, the switching
signal generated by the amplifier is available for
other components of the system. Two HiFi compo-
nents that are able to react to the power control
signal can be connected directly to the amplifier's
power control outputs (16). If more than two devi-
ces, which can be controlled, are to be connected,
then it is necessary to make the power control con-
nection between the amplifier and these further
devices through the outputs of the two devices
which are connected directly. For that reason,
every HiFi component that accepts power control
signals is also equipped with a power control out-
put. Thus, in theory it is possible to provide an infi-
nite number of HiFi components with the power
control signal. This approach, to loop a signal
through a chain of components, is commonly refer-
red to as "daisy chaining".
