CONNECTIONS

CONNECTING AN IR SENSOR FOR LOCAL SYSTEM CONTROL

IR sensors installed in zones for hand-held IR remote control of the ZR-8630AV and its source components also can control local components (i.e., a TV, DSS, DVD, and a surround-sound system located in the master bed- room zone as shown in figure 38).

Connect the IR sensor normally to the Master Keypad Module to control the ZR-8630AV and its source com- ponents. In addition, connect the IR sensor to a local IR repeating system (DATA and GND connections only) to control local components.
