I have a XPR-5. Does anyone know how I might be able to use a remote to turn the unit on/off? The product did not come with a remote, and I not sure if it is remote capable.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions. It's not remote capable but could be turned on and off if you have a processor with a trigger output. |

geebo, thank you.
I have an Onkyo tx-nr809, which seems to have trigger capability in zone 2 & 3, but not zone 1. Thanks!

qdtjni, thank you.
The ET-3 TRIGGER EXPANSION MODULE seems to be a good solution, I think I will reserve one.

qdtjni, thank you. The ET-3 TRIGGER EXPANSION MODULE seems to be a good solution, I think I will reserve one. I don't think you have a switched outlet on the back of the Onkyo. If you use a Harmony remote there is a way you can add a second Onkyo device that will power on Zone 1 or 2 when you start the activity. I did it with my 807 and it worked fine.

A switched outlet on a receiver which has enough capacity for an XPR-5? NOT
Trigger output is the way to go..

Got it. That should do it. Any way to ALSO add a slight time delay? Maybe 5 seconds between trigger on and it actually turning the amp on?
My amps have a 3rd way to turn 'em on. When my amps sense an INPUT SIGNAL, they turn on. I've never used 'trigger' cables.

Some power conditioners, like my Pure AV PF60 power conditioner can both add triggers and can also add an optional delay to controlled components turning ON. |

I think the ET-3, as I look at it would be FINE if some value were added in the form of time delay triggers. A simple (socketed) 12vdc Time Delay relay (switchable) would be all it took. And yes, some power conditioners DO include some delay options. My Panamax, for example has turn ON and OFF delays but does NOT support the trigger standard. It switches the outlets. My Max 5510 ACRegenerator also includes a 400va Isolation Transformer. www.amazon.com/Uxcell-Supply-Adjustable-Trigger-Module/dp/B00E1JNLTSThe link is WAY overkill for what it needs to do. I mean, the current required will NEVER exceed maybe 500ma. But you get the idea. A simple relay would work, too, but I don't see one in a quick scan of available parts. Most are automotive and 10 amp or greater contact ratings. |
