Connecting to the IR IN ZONE 2 input

Outline

The IR IN ZONE 2 input allows you to control the TX-DS989 from the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.

Connecting the main and remote zones

The ZONE 2 terminal is a constant output. Connect to the LINE input of the amplifier (CD, tape, etc.). Adjust the volume with the amplifier connected to the ZONE 2 terminal.

The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for operation from the remote zone:

Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller Extension System), or

Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles® and Xantech® to name a few

Make connection as shown below. Do not plug the equipment into the power source until the connection is complete.

1.Connect the TX-DS989 to the amplifier for the remote zone.

2.Connect the remote zone speaker cables to the speaker terminals on the amplifier.

3.Connect the TX-DS989 to the monitor for the remote zone.

4.Install the connecting block in the main zone and connect it to the IR IN ZONE 2 input at the TX-DS989.

5.Install the remote sensor in the remote zone and connect it to the connecting block in the main zone.
