Integra RDC-7.1 instruction manual Other than USA and Canadian models, Making Sensor Connections

Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)

– Other than USA and Canadian models –

In order to use the remote controller to control the RDC-7.1 from a remote location, you will need to pre- pare a multiroom kit (sold separately) such as one listed below:

•Multiroom kits such as those made by Niles® and Xantech®

RF Receivers can also be used with the remote controller to control the RDC-7.1 from a remote location. To use

Example for the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3)

The IR IN input allows you to control the RDC-7.1 from the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3) with the remote controller even though the remote zone may be on the other side of the building from the main zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.

RF Receivers, set the Transmission Signal Format set- ting to “RF” (See page 141 for details).

where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet so that the infrared rays from the controller can be sensed.

Making Sensor Connections

When you place the IR receiver in the main room, connect the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN MAIN terminal. When you place the IR receiver in the remote zone, connect the cable from the connecting block to the ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 terminal accordingly. Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any equipment into the power outlet until all the connections are complete.
