To control the AV controller with the remote controller
while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need a commer-
cially 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 controller’s remote sensor, such as when
it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infra-
red signals from the remote controller and feeds them
through to the AV controller in the main room via the con-
necting 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 control-
ler’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other compo-
nent’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. Signals picked up
by the AV controller’s remote control sensor are not out-
put.
The IR emitter should be connected to the AV controller’s
IR OUT jack, as shown below.
