Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control
in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as
a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the
remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.
Note
• Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a
strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
• Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology.
Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for
IR compatibility.
