Using the Remote Controller in Zone

2 and Multiroom Control Kits

To control the AV receiver with the remote controller
while you're in Zone 2, you'll need a commercially
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
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infra-

through to the AV receiver in the main room via the con-
necting block.
