CONNECTIONS FOR THE STANDBY CONTROL
Many AV systems consist of a multitude of individual
components. To avoid the necessity of switching them
on and off before and after every use, many manu-
facturers have equipped their devices with what is
known as "POWER CONTROL" circuit or "TRIG-
GER". This kind of remote-controlled standby circuit is
used primarily for preamplifier and power amplifiers.
To employ these functions, direct or indirect cable
connections must be made between the preamplifier
(or integrated amplifier) and all the devices which
support this function. The "POWER CONTROL" functi-
on operates in such a way that each switching on or
off of one device in the system (usually the preampli-
SV-400
A theoretically infinite number of devices may be served with the switch impulses from a transmitting devi-
ce. To this end, on most devices (no pre- or integrated amplifier) one of the two "POWER CONTROL" con-
nectors may be used as a signal input and the other as a signal output. This method of passing on the
signal via the devices' inputs and outputs and of thereby chaining them is also known as "daisy chaining".
Many devices which can be controlled by a switching signal (not preamplifiers or integrated
amplifiers), have two terminals which do not differentiate between input and output. In this case
either of the two can be selected.
"POWER CONTROL" sockets of preamplifiers or integrated amplifiers must not be interconnec-
ted! All receiving devices must not be connected to more than one preamplifier or integrated
amplifier (directly or indirectly)!

fier) 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 instead. For connecting cables,
two-core cables with 3.5 mm jack plugs (mono) are
used. For each connection between two devices one
of those cables is needed.
The SV-400 has two output connectors for the switch
control. Thus the switching signal can be output for
further components.
