4 IR Input and Output
Your Classé DVD transport includes two
1
⁄8
th
-inch mono mini-jacks in
order to support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous
today. Infrared commands exist (for example) for toggling the transport
between operate and standby, in addition to discrete command codes
for either operate or standby. ese codes may be used in “macros” for
sophisticated remote control systems, facilitating the control of the
transport in the larger context of a complete system.
e list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex
macros (chains of commands strung together) to operate fl awlessly. If this
capability is of interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with
your authorized Classé dealer.
Note that IR Input and Output is a bit of a misnomer: the input and
output of these plugs is electrical in nature, not infrared. ey are used
with standard IR receivers, distribution amplifi ers, and emitters (available
from your dealer) to translate the remote’s IR signal to an electrical signal
and vice versa. e big advantages here include being able to easily route
the signals anywhere they might need to go and the reliability of a solid
electrical connection.
Since an IR distribution system such as your dealer may design for you
usually must control many products, your DVD transport includes both
an IR input (for the control of this product) and an IR output (so as to
pass along the same signal to the next product). is allows you to “daisy
chain” your control wires from one product to the next.
Note: Many IR repeater systems do not yet support the
stripped-carrier signal format required by your DVD
transport. If yours does not, a Delta IR Interface may
be required to ensure compatibility between your IR
repeater system and your Delta-series Classé equipment.
Your dealer can assist you in designing an effective IR
repeater system.
e transport is designed to respond to IR commands of 5VDC, with the
tip of the mono mini-jacks defi ned to be “positive” relative to the shank of
the plug.
