Using the Remote Controller in Zone and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller while you’re in Zone, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone.
• 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 receiver’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.

Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV receiver’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at the AV receiver’s IR IN jack are fed through to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up by the AV receiver’s remote control sensor are not output.
