Operating Components Not Reached By The Remote Controller Signals (Ir In/Out); If The Remote Controller Signal Does Not Reach The Dtr-7.3 Remote Sensor; If The Remote Controller Signal Does Not Reach Other; Components - Integra DTR-7.3 Instruction Manual

Operating components not reached by the
remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the DTR-7.3
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 kits (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-7.3 remote sensor
If the DTR-7.3 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 for the infrared rays from the controller can
reach.
With this connection, select "Main" for the Hardware Setup → IR IN
Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 42).

The IR IN input allows you to control the DTR-7.3 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" for the Hardware Setup → IR
IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 42).

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-7.3 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-7.3 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
