Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN) (TX-SR700/700E only)

In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-SR700/ 700E 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 kit (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-SR700/700E remote sensor

If the TX-SR700/700E 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 where the infrared rays from the controller can reach.

With this connection, select “Main” at “Preference” → “IR IN Position” (see page 56).

Make the connections as shown below. Do not plug in any equipment to the power outlet until all the connections are complete.
