Rear Panel Connections and Connecting Components
The C1100C has the ability to automatically switch
power On/Off to Source Components via the Power
Control connections. The Data Port Connections al-
low for the remote operation of basic functions using
the C1100C HR085 Remote Control. With an exter-
nal sensor connected to the C1100C, remote control
operation of the system is possible from another room
and/or when the C1100 is located in a cabinet with the
doors closed.
The connection instructions below, together with
the C1100 Input/Output/Control/PASSTHRU Con-
nection Diagrams are located on the separate folded
sheets “Mc1A/1B and Mc2A/2B”. The Connection
Diagrams are examples of a typical audio system.
Your system may vary from this, however the actual
components would be connected in a similar manner.
For additional information refer to “Connector and
Cable Information” on page 4.
Notes: 1. The C1100C 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 Setup “Inputs” on page 18.
2. For convenience, an “Input Assignment Chart”
on a separate sheet “Mc5A/5B” has been pro-
vide to keep track of changes.
