Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver/AV amplifier with the remote controller while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit.

•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/AV amplifier’s remote sensor, such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.
