Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT) In order to use the remote controller to control the receiver from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multiroom kit (sold separately) such as one listed 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® * Xantech is a registered trademark of Xantech Corporation. * Niles is a registered trademark of Niles Audio Corporation. If Remote Controller Signal Does not Reach the Receiver Remote Sensor Effective Sensor Layout Example for the main room If the receiver 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 so that the infrared rays from the controller can be sensed. IR IN Connecting block IR Receiver TX-8522/ TX-8222 Remote controller In the cabinet Main room : Signal flow Example for the remote zone The IR IN input allows you to control the receiver from the remote zone 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. To IR IN Receiver IR Receiver Connecting block Remote controller Main room Remote Zone : Signal flow Making Sensor Connections When you place the IR receiver in the main room, connect the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN terminal. Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any equipment into the power outlet until all the connections are complete. from connecting block Mini plug cable Receiver If Remote Controller Signal Does not Reach Other Components Effective Sensor Layout 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 receiver 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 receiver will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
