Multi Zone—Continued
To control the AV controller with the remote controller
while you’re in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you’ll need a commer-
cially 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 controller’s remote sensor, such as
when it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2/3
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2/3 picks up the
infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds
them through to the AV controller in the main room via
the connecting block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the AV controller’s IR IN A or B jack, as
shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up
to two IR receivers can be connected.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals
from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV con-
troller located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV con-
troller’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other
component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals
received at the AV controller’s IR IN A or B jack are fed
through to the other component via the IR emitter. Sig-
nals picked up by the AV controller’s remote control sen-
sor are not output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the AV control-
ler’s IR OUT jack, as shown below.
