Using The Remote Controller In Zone 2/3 And Multiroom Control Kits - Onkyo PR-SC5508 Instruction Manual

Using the Remote Controller in
Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits
To control the AV controller 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 controller'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 controller in the main room via the con-
necting block.

Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV control-
ler's IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other compo-
nent's remote control sensor. Infrared signals received at
the AV controller's IR IN jack are fed through to the other
component via the IR emitter. Signals picked up by the AV
controller's remote control sensor are not output.
