Operating Components not Reached by the Remote
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the
DTR-7.4 from a remote location, you will need to pre-
pare a multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of
those given below:
• Onkyo's Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote
Controller Extension System)
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such
®
as those from Niles and Xantech
RF Receivers also can be used with the remote controller
to control the DTR-7.4 from a remote location. To use
RF Receivers, set the Transmission Signal Format set-
ting to "RF." (See page 70 for details.)
If Remote Controller Signal Does not
Reach the DTR-7.4 Remote Sensor
If the DTR-7.4 is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure
where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot
enter, then operation with the remote controller will not be
possible. In such a case, it will be necessary to install a
remote sensor at a location outside of the cabinet that the
infrared rays from the controller can reach.
With this connection, select "Main" for the
Hardware Setup → Remote Setup → Position in the
Setup Menu (See page 31).

The IR IN input allows you to control the DTR-7.4 from
the remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even
though the remote zone may be on the other side of the
building from the main zone. The diagram below shows
how to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
With this connection, select "Zone 2" for the
Hardware Setup → Remote Setup → Position in the
Setup Menu (See page 31).

If Remote Controller Signal Does not
Reach Other Components
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially
available IR emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR
emitter to the IR OUT terminal on the DTR-7.4 and then
place the IR emitter on the remote sensor of the
component or facing it. When the IR emitter is
connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is
output to the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the
remote sensor on the front of the DTR-7.4 will not be
output to the IR OUT terminal.
