To Connect A Kenwood Ir-9991 Ir Receiver; To Connect Any Other Ir Receiver; To Connect Ir Repeaters - Kenwood VR-4700 Connection Manual

Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Rooms
Connecting an External Infrared Receiver and IR Repeaters, continued
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 room
• 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 room, see "Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple
Rooms" on page 45.
To Connect a KENWOOD IR-9991 IR
Receiver:
1. Connect the IR-9991's IR IN cable to the Receiver's IR
RECEIVER IN jack. This jack supports a 12V 20mA sig-
nal.
2. Connect the IR-9991's IR OUT cable to the Receiver's IR
OUT LCD REMOTE jack.
3. Connect an AC adaptor to the IR-9991. Do not plug the
adaptor into the wall until all connections are made.
4. To activate the IR receiver connections, you need to press
INPUT MODE key on the front panel of the receiver for
more than 2 seconds.
You will see "RF OFF" (VR-4900/VR-4700) or "DATA
REAR IN" (KRF-V9993D)
• The RF remote function will not be available in RF
OFF mode.

To Connect any other IR Receiver:

1. Connect the IR receiver's output cable to the Receiver's
IR RECEIVER IN jack. This jack supports a 12V 20mA
signal.
2. (For some IR receiver)
Connect an AC adaptor to the IR receiver. Do not plug
the adaptor into the wall until all connections are made.
3. To activate the IR receiver connections, you need to press
INPUT MODE key on the front panel of the receiver for
more than 2 seconds.
• VR-4900/VR-4700 : You will see "RF OFF" on the
receiver display.
• KRF-V9993D : You will see "DATA REAR IN " on
the receiver display.

To Connect IR Repeaters:

IR repeaters enable you to control components located in
cabinets or behind glass doors. To connect repeaters:
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-
mote control. Xantech repeaters (models 282-00, 286-00,
or 283-00) are compatible with your new audio-video re-
ceiver.
Do not connect IR repeaters unless you have connected an
external IR receiver. The connections are only active when
an IR receiver is connected.
