Zone 2—Continued

Using the 12V Trigger

While Zone 2 is active on the DTR-8.4, the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER OUT outputs 12 volts (100 milliamperes max). By connecting this to the 12-volt trigger input on, say, a power amp in Zone 2, the power amp will turn on and off automatically when Zone 2 is turned on and off on the DTR-8.4.

Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet

In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds them to the DTR-8.4 in the cabinet via the connecting block.

•On the Remote Setup menu, set the Position setting to “Main” (see page 48).

Using the Remote Control in Zone 2

To use the remote controller to control the DTR-8.4 from Zone 2, you’ll need one of the following commercially available multiroom remote control kits:

•Onkyo Multiroom Kit (IR remote controller extension system)

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

Remote controller

These kits can also be used when the DTR-8.4 is not in line of sight of the remote controller, for example, when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

You can set the transmission signal format to RF for use with the optional RF Receiver (see page 98).

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2

In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the infrared signals from the remote controller in Zone 2 and feeds them to the DTR-8.4 in the main room via the con- necting block.

•On the Remote Setup menu, set the Position setting to “Zone 2” (see page 48).

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

In the following diagram, an IR emitter is connected to the DTR-8.4’s IR OUT socket and placed in front of the other component’s remote control sensor. Only infrared signals received at the IR IN socket are fed to the other component. Signals picked up by the DTR-8.4’s remote control sensor are not passed on.
