Multiroom Operation - Harman Kardon AVR 510 Owner's Manual

Multiroom Operation

The AVR 510 is fully equipped to operate
as the control center for a multiroom system
with optional remote external infrared (IR) sen-
sors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although
some multiroom installations will require the
services of a specially trained installer, it is pos-
sible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to
install a simple remote room system.
Installation
The key to remote room operation is to link the
remote room to the AVR 510's location with
wire for an infrared link and speakers or an
amplifier. For installation instructions for
Multiroom use, see page 16.
