Controlling Components That Are Out of Range

You can use the following multi-room kits to control the
T-4555P when it's out of range of the remote controller:
• Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such
as those made by Niles
Controlling the T-4555P When It's Out of
Range
If the T-4555P is located in another room, installed in a
cabinet, or out of range of its remote controller, you can
use a commercially available IR receiver to pickup the
remote controller signals and feed them to the T-4555P,
as shown below.

Controlling Other Out-of-range
Components
If another component is out of range of its remote con-
troller, you can use a commercially available IR emitter
to retransmit the remote controller signals received at
the T-4555P's IR IN, as shown below.
