Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)

In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-NR900/ 900E from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi- room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:

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

•Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those from Niles® and Xantech®

If the remote controller signal does not reach the TX-NR900/900E remote sensor

If the TX-NR900/900E 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 for the infrared rays from the controller can reach.

With this connection, select “Main” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 47).

The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-NR900/900E from the remote zone (Zone 2) 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.

With this connection, select “Zone 2” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 47).

If the remote controller signal does not reach other components

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 TX-NR900/900E 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 TX-NR900/900E will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
