Zone 2—Continued
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need a commer-
cially available multiroom remote control kit.
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line
of sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when
it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infra-
red signals from the remote controller and feeds them
through to the AV receiver in the main room via the con-
necting block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the AV receiver’s IR IN A or B jack, as
shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up
to two IR receivers can be connected.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals
from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV
receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the IR OUT
jack and placed in front of the other component’s remote
control sensor. Infrared signals received at the AV
receiver’s IR IN A or B jack are fed through to the other
component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up by the
AV receiver’s remote control sensor are not output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the IR OUT jack,
as shown below.
