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.
