Using The Remote Controller In Zone And Multiroom Control Kits - Onkyo TX-NR3009 Instruction Manual

Using the Remote Controller in
Zone and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver 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 receiver'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 receiver in the main room via the connecting
block.

Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV
receiver's IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other
component's remote control sensor. Infrared signals
received at the AV receiver's IR IN jack are fed through to
the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up
by the AV receiver's remote control sensor are not output.
