For details, refer to theoperating instructions of the respective devices.• When used in combination with an RF RemoteController or RF Remote Receiver, make thesettings at menu “Manual Setup” – “OptionSetup” – “232C Port” – “2Way Remote”(vpage 34).• On the menu, when setting “Manual Setup”– “Option Setup” – “232C Port” to “2WayRemote”, you cannot use the RS-232C connectoras an external controller (vpage 34).RS-232C connectorThis connector is used for an external controller.b If you wish to control the AVR-989 froman external controller using the RS-232Cconnector, perform the operation belowbeforehand.q Turn on the AVR-989’s power.w Turn off the AVR-989’s power from the externalcontroller.e Check that the AVR-989 is in the standbymode.Trigger output jackThe power of an external device equipped witha trigger input jack can be turned on and off inassociation with operations on the AVR-989. Fordetails, see menu “Manual Setup” – “OptionSetup” – “Trigger Out” (vpage 34).• Output: DC 12 V 150 mA MAX.Check the trigger input conditions of theconnected device.Monitor (ZONE2)Extension jack for future use.(Connect devices correspondingwith room to room function tothis jack.)Pre-main amplifier(ZONE2)Connections
