Controlling Components That Are Out of Range

Controlling Other Out-of-range Components

You can use the following multiroom kits to control the DPC-8.5 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:

•	Onkyo Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller
	Extension System)
•	Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such
	as those made by Niles and Xantech.

For another component that is out of range of its remote controller, you can use a commercially available IR emitter to retransmit the remote controller signals received at the DPC-8.5’s IR IN, as shown below.

Controlling the DPC-8.5 When It’s Out of Range

If the DPC-8.5 is located in another room, installed in a cabinet, or is out of range of its remote controller, you can use a commercially available IR receiver to pick up the remote controller signals and feed them to the DPC-8.5, as shown below.

Only remote controller signals received by the DPC-8.5’s IR IN are fed through to the IR OUT. Signals picked up by the DPC-8.5’s remote control sensor are not.
