Chapter Tree: Setting Up Multiple Zones
Co nnecting the External Infrared Receivers and IR Repeaters, co ntinued
Your new audio-video receiver supports the IR-9991 two-
way external infrared (IR) remote transceiver control. The
IR-9991 enables you to use the Receiver's PowerTouch to
operate the receiver if it is:
• in a stereo closet/cabinet
• behind glass doors
• in another zone
• in any situation where the device to be controlled is not
visible
You can substitute Xantech (291-80, 480-30, or 490-30 se-
ries) IR receivers for the IR-9991. However, these devices are
one-way only, and will not supply system status feedback
to PowerTouch.
For more information about using external IR receivers in
another zone, see "Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Zones"
on page 49.

1. Connect the IR repeater to the device as described in
the repeater's manual.
2. Connect the IR repeater cable(s) to the Receiver's IR RE-
PEATER OUT jack(s).
IR repeaters send a signal similar to the device's own re-

or 283-00) are compatible with your new audio-video re-
ceiver.
