Background information about the zones & IR, as requested:I have an IR connecting block in the main room. Connected to that unit's screw terminals (IR & GND) I have 14 AWG copper stranded wiring, which I connect to a BNC connection that heads out over quad-shilded RG-6 to the other room, on the other end, it's connected to the emitter output of a connecting block in that room. So, when I hit the receiver in the other room, the connecting block sends the signal out to the other connecting block, which emits to the IR port on the receiver.
Zone information
I have a 2nd & 3rd zone, but all the controlling equipment is in the main zone. As such, while there are 2nd & 3rd zone triggers, they don't assist me. I would like the components to power on when I turn the system on for the 2nd & 3rd zone. Currently, I have been unable to get the main trigger to activate unless the main zone is on. So, if I were able to send an IR command to activate the trigger, that would allow me to control that from the remote in the 2nd zone.
Manual information
Page 47 of the US manual reads as follows:
"CTRL: Lets you turn on or off the output of the 12V triggers manually by the CIS command of the IR remote or RS232C control."
