Connecting Components
The C12000 has the ability to automatically
switch power On/Off to Source Components via
the Power Control connections. The Data Port
Connections allow for the remote operation of
basic functions using the included HR085 Remote
Control. With an external sensor connected to the
C12000, remote control operation of the system
is possible from another room and/or when the
C12000 is located in a cabinet with the doors
closed.
The Connection Diagrams (Pages 16-19) are
examples of a typical audio system. Your system
may vary from this, however the actual compo-
nents would be connected in a similar manner. For
additional information refer to “Connector and
Cable Information” on Page 4.
Note: The C12000 Controller allows re-naming of
the Audio Input Names as indicated on the
Front Panel Information Display. Example,
“UNBAL 1” may be changed to “TUNER”
or your own personal preference. Refer to
Input Settings on Page 20.
