Use these unbalanced outputs if your preamplifier or surround controller doesn’t have balanced input jacks or if they are already used for another balanced source.
In order to receive radio stations you will need to connect different antennas for both FM and AM. Basic FM and AM antennas are supplied with your T 3. Refer to Other Antenna Options in the Technically Speaking section for detailed information regarding antennas.
AM Antenna Connection The T 3 includes a separate molded plastic loop AM antenna with spade lugs at the end of its two wires. With this antenna, you can receive AM stations in many urban and suburban locations. What Y ou’ll Need: • The supplied AM “loop” antenna Before Connecting Tu rn off the power to the T 3.
The External Remote Input jack is for a wired infrared repeater system or system controller . It eliminates the need for a stick-on front panel IR flasher . There is also a Loop Out jack to loop or “daisy chain” to an additional infrared remote-controlled component.
The T 3 can be turned on automatically when a trigger voltage is received from an external DC voltage source such as a preamplifier or system controller . What Y ou’ll Need: • A trigger cable with 2.5 mm sub-mini plugs (provided) • A component with an external +9Vdc- 12Vdc trigger voltage Before Connecting Tu rn off the power to the T 3.
