Onkyo TX-NR1000 instruction manual Effective Sensor Layout, Making Sensor Connections

Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)

In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multiroom kit (sold sepa- rately) such as one listed below:

•Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Con- troller Extension System)

•Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such

as those from Niles® and Xantech®

Example for the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3)

The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-NR1000/ TX-NR5000E from the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3) 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.

RF Receivers can also be used with the remote controller to control the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E from a remote location. To use RF Receivers, set the Transmission Sig- nal Format setting to “RF” (See page 141 for details).

Example for the main room

If the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E 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.

Making Sensor Connections

When you place the IR receiver in the main room, connect the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN MAIN terminal. When you place the IR receiver in the remote zone, connect the cable from the connecting block to the ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 terminal accordingly. Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any equipment into the power outlet until all the connections are complete.
