Connecting the DVD receiver—Continued

Using the Multiroom Control Kits

To control the DVD receiver with the remote controller when DVD receiver is located in a cabinet, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit.

Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech. These kits can also be used when control other compo- nents.

Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them to the DVD receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the DVD receiver’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at the DVD receiver’s IR IN jack are fed through to the other component via the IR emitter. Sig- nals picked up by the DVD receiver’s remote control sensor are not output.
