10. CONNECTING RF REMOTE ANTENNA

• Connect the supplied antenna to receive the RF (Radio Frequency) beams from the universal remote control.

•If the antenna is connected to this receiver, even though there are obstacles such as walls, furniture, etc. in the way, you can control this receiver with the universal remote control. Therefore, you can control this receiver from another room with the universal remote control without connecting the multi-room system kit. (For details, refer to "CONNECTING MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM KIT" below.)

■Note:

• If the walls are too thick or the distance exceeds the operation range, you cannot control this receiver with the universal remote control. In such a case, connect the multi-room system kit to this receiver and set the transmission signal mode to "IR" (Infrared). (For details, refer to "Changing the transmission signal" on page 29.)

11. CONNECTING MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM KIT

• The multi-room system kit(sold separately ) is essential for operation from a remote location .

For information on the multi-room system kit, contact the Xantech corporation at 1-800-843-5465 or www.xantech.com.

•IR IN jack allows you to control this receiver from another room with the remote control unit.

•To control this receiver from another room with the remote control unit, connect the IR IN jack to the output of the connecting block.

•If this receiver is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the signals from the remote control unit cannot enter, then operation with the remote control unit will not be possible. In such a case, connect the IR IN jack to the output of the connecting block.

•To control other compatible component from another room with the universal remote control unit, connect the IR OUT jack to the IR emitter.

■Notes :

•Remote operation may become unreliable if the IR receiver is exposed to strong light such as direct sunlight or inverted fluorescent.

•When the transmission signal mode is set to "RF", the IR receiver cannot accept the RF beams from the universal remote control and remote operation will become unreliable. However, because the IR emitter can emit the IR beams into which the RF beams are converted, you can control other compatible component via it.
