Using The Remote Controller In Zone 2/3 And Multiroom Control Kits - Onkyo TX-NR905 Instruction Manual

Zone 2 and Zone 3—Continued
Using the Remote Controller in
Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you're in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you'll need a commer-
cially 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 2/3
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2/3 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.

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 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.
