SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS

CONFIGURATION 12 – IR REPEATING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTS

You can integrate an IR Repeating System into a room connected to the Niles ZR-8630AV (see Figure 17). This enables a single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control.

In Figure 17, a Niles IR Sensor connects to a Niles IRP-6+ for control of local components, and to a Niles ZR-8630AV for control of distributed components. When the local system is activated, a Niles SPK-1 Automated Speaker Level A-B Switcher switches the front speakers in the master bedroom from the ZR-8630AV distributed- sound system to the local surround-sound receiver system.

Important Note: This configuration does not support the use of an identical brand and type component in both the local and the distributed system (i.e., a Sony CD player in both systems). Individual operation of identical components may not be possible. To prevent IR feedback when using this configuration, you may need the IR blockers included with Niles IRC-2 MicroSensors.
