Zone 2 and Zone 3—Continued

Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV controller with the remote controller while you’re in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you’ll need a commer- cially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.

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 con- troller 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 controller’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other Components

In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV con- troller’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at the AV controller’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 controller’s remote control sen- sor are not output.
