KXPA100 remote DC Power Control

John Marvin
It looks like there may be multiple ways of controlling power on the
KXPA100. Obviously there is the front panel power switch. Another method
is that the KX3 can turn the amp on. Does anyone know how that is
accomplished? It appears there is a "PWR ON" pin in the 8 pin control
connector, but looking at the KX3 interface cable it doesn't look like
anything is connected to it. Is there an undocumented serial command
involved? I don't see anything in the command interface document, but
perhaps I missed it.

Second, how does the "PWR ON" pin work, i.e. does a voltage have to be
applied, or does the pin have to be connected to ground?

FYI, I don't own a KX3, but I'm wondering about the possibilities of
controlling power to the KXPA100 remotely.

Thanks,

John
