Controlling Components That Are Out of Range

You can use the following multi-room kits to control the T-4555 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:

•Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such as those made by Niles® and Xantech®.

Controlling the T-4555 When It’s Out of Range

If the T-4555 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 T-4555, as shown below.

Controlling Other Out-of-range

Components

If another component is out of range of its remote con- troller, you can use a commercially available IR emitter to retransmit the remote controller signals received at the T-4555’s IR IN, as shown below.
