I have a Sherbourn 7 channel amp. I thought there was some type of remote trigger accessory/device that can be added for the amp to turn it on. Any info on this?

Thanks, Nick

I checked the owner's manuals for the PA 7-150 and PA 7-350: The trigger's on the back panel. If your AVR/processor has a trigger output, run a 1/8" mono-to-mono connection between the two devices. Turning the AVR on will power on the amp. See your AVR's and amp's manuals for more info.

My Receiver is a Yamaha RX-V659. I don't have a manual for the Sherbourn however. The trigger is on the back of the Sherbourn but not sure as to how to hook it up to the receiver..

According to the owner's manual, your AVR has a 12V trigger output.

According to the amp manuals I listed in my previous post, each amp has a trigger input on its back panel. When connecting a trigger cable, the master power button on the amp is left in the "on" position.

And, as I indicated in my previous post, run a 1/8" mono-to-mono connection (such as this one) between the two devices.

Hope this helps.

Just checked the back of the Sherbourn It's trigger input has a Negative and Positive connection not a single one. My Model is a 2100A

According to the manual for your amp:

... A removeable plug at the 12V trigger inputRear panel view of model 7/2100A (comes with the amplifier) shall be unplugged and wired with the 12V in the correct polarity.
. . .
Setting the trigger mode switch to 12V allows thepower-on-standby function to be controlled by a12V DC voltage connected to the 12V input connector.

A quick bit of reading (including this page) appears to indicate that you have to:
- remove a plug from the back of the amp;
- clip one end off your 1/8" mono-to-mono cable; and
- connect the bare wires into the + and - terminals on the amp.

If the polarity proves to be incorrect, you then just reverse the + and - connection.

Hooked up cable per your instructions and works great. I tried to find info on this a couple of years ago on another site and no one could help. As I wasn't able to find any answers on the web I let it go. Thanks again for your knowledge and help
