Zone 2—Continued

Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need a commer- cially available multiroom remote control kit.

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 AV receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.

•Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech. These kits can also be used when there isn’t a clear line of sight to the AV receiver’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2

In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infra- red signals from the remote controller and feeds them through to the AV receiver in the main room via the con- necting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

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