Operating Components Not Reached By The Remote Controller Signals (Ir In); If The Remote Controller Signal Does Not Reach The Dtr-6.4/5.4 Remote Sensor; If The Remote Controller Signal Does Not Reach Other Components - Integra DTR-6.4/5.4 Instructional Manual

Operating components not reached by the remote
controller signals (IR IN)
In order to use the remote controller to control the DTR-6.4/5.4
from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-room
kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:
• Onkyo's Multi-Room System kit (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those

If the remote controller signal does not reach the
DTR-6.4/5.4 remote sensor
If the DTR-6.4/5.4 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure
where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter,
then operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In
such a case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a
location outside of the cabinet where the infrared rays from the
controller can reach.
With this connection, select "Main" at "Hardware Config" → "IR
IN Position" (see page 32).

The IR IN input allows you to control the DTR-6.4/5.4 from the
remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the
remote zone may be on the other side of the building from the main
zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper
connections for the remote zone.
With this connection, select "Zone 2" at "Hardware Config" → "IR
IN Position" (see page 32).

If the remote controller signal does not reach
other components
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR
emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT
terminal on the DTR-6.4/5.4 and then place the IR emitter on the
remote sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter is
connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to
the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on
the front of the DTR-6.4/5.4 will not be output to the IR OUT
terminal.
