I have a Lexicon DC-1 and a Parasound 1205A, and want to use trigger connection to turn the Parasound on and off.
I hve a cable for doing so, I think. One side of th cable has the pin connections for the Lexicon (it's a 5 pin connecter) and on the other side it has 3 wires (1 ground, 1 power on and 1 trigger). But on the Parasound side, I am confused. It has 4 screws where it says trigger connection and it also has Ground written on top of the screws. So how do I connect the wires to the Parasound? I have only 2 wires to connect, one for ground and 1 for the trigger, so which screws do I connect them to? I guess I have to unscrew the screws slightly and wind the wires around them and screw them back on? Or have I got it horribly wrong?
Lastly, how will it work? Do I leave the Parasound switched off and when the Lexicon is switched on, it will sqitch on the Parasound, and when the Lexicon is switched off, it will switch off the Parasound as well, after a while?
Sorry for the questions, as I am a newbie as far as triggers are concerned.
