To control the AV controller with the remote controller
while you’re in Zone, you’ll need a commercially
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
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 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 controller 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
controller’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. Signals picked up by the AV controller’s
remote control sensor are not output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the AV
controller’s IR OUT jack, as shown below.
