Connecting the DPS-5.5
—Continued
You can use the following multi-room kits to control the
DPS-5.5 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:
• Onkyo Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)
• Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such
as those made by Niles® and Xantech®.
Controlling the DPS-5.5 When It’s Out of Range
If the DPS-5.5 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-5.5,
as shown below.
Connect the IR receiver to the DPS-5.5 as shown below.
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-5.5’s IR IN, as shown below.
Connect the IR emitter to the DPS-5.5’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.
Only remote controller signals received by the DPS-
5.5’s IR IN are fed through to the IR OUT. Signals
picked up by the DPS-5.5’s remote control sensor are not
output.
