When used on its own, you can’t use a third-party room control system to access the Control Panel features on the 2000i. For that, you need the SMART Room Control Module. You can then use the Control Panel or a third-party room-control system to change the standby state, source, display and volume settings for the 2000i.
To install the Room Control Module CAUTION You should wear the supplied antistatic wrist strap throughout the installation process. This wrist strap protects electronic components from damage due to electrostatic discharge. Secure the adhesive end of the strap to your wrist and wrap the copper tape at the other end around any grounded object.
