Onkyo TX-NR708 Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone, Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller while you’re in Zone 2, you’ll need a commercially avail- able multiroom remote control kit for each zone.

• 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.
