Using The Remote Controller In Zone 2 And Multiroom Control Kits - Integra DTR-40.1 Instruction Manual

Zone 2—Continued
Using the Remote Controller in Zone
2 and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver 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 receiver'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 receiver in the main room via the con-
necting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
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 A or B jack are fed
through to the other component via the IR emitter. Sig-
nals picked up by the AV receiver's remote control sen-
sor are not output.
