Onkyo TX-SR700/700E, TX-SR600/600E instruction manual From connecting block

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.

The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-SR700/700E 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” at “Preference” → “IR IN Position” (see page 56).
