Control out jacks and remote jacks??? how to automaticly turn on amp?!
Hey everyone. I'm trying to research what the hell the "control out" jacks are on my yamaha htr-5990 receiver. I also have a set of remote out/in jacks. I'm pretty sure i know what those are for, but i am confused about the control jacks. the only info i can find on them is that they are "for factory use only." well thats not a good enough answer for me!
here is the main reason why i am asking. i just drove 7.5 hours round trip to pick up one of two onkyo m-501 amps (for $40 i might add, which is why i was willing to spend $26 in fuel, hehe.) it has a remote in jack, along with a "RI" jack. I know the RI has something to do with onkyo brand stuff, but i really want to know if i can somehow hook up my amp to turn on along with the receiver. once i get the second onkyo, im really not going to want to have to get up to turn on the two amps, and i obviously cant use the switched outlets on the back of the yamaha.
Is the remote jack on the amp kind of like the remote "turn on" terminal on a car audio amp? and is the "control out" jack on the receiver like the remote "turn on" wire on a car audio deck?
what can I do?!?!?
what does everyone else do?!?!
