Controlling AV Components that are Out of Range

You can use the following multi-room kits to control the DPS-5.4 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:

•Integra Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller Extension System)

•Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such as those made by Niles® and Xantech®.

Controlling Other Out-of-range AV Components

If another AV component 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 DPS-5.4’s IR IN, as shown below.

Controlling the DPS-5.4 When It’s Out of Range : Signal flow

If the DPS-5.4 is located in another room, installed in a cabinet, or out of range of its remote controller, you can use a commercially available IR receiver to pickup the remote controller signals and feed them to the DPS-5.4, as shown below.

Connect the IR emitter to the DPS-5.4’s IR OUT, and place the IR emitter in front of the other AV component’s remote control sensor (usually located on its front panel), as shown below. See the instructions supplied with the IR emitter.
