Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the receiver from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multiroom kit (sold separately) such as one listed below:
•Onkyo’s
•Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles® and Xantech®

Making Sensor Connections
When you place the IR receiver in the main room, connect the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN terminal. Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any equipment into the power outlet until all the connections are complete.

Effective Sensor Layout
Example for the main room
If the receiver is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet so that the infrared rays from the controller can be sensed.

Example for the remote zone
The IR IN input allows you to control the receiver from the remote zone with the remote controller even though the remote zone may be on the other side of the building from the main zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.

If Remote Controller Signal Does not Reach Other Components
Effective Sensor Layout
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the receiver and then place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on the front of the receiver will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
