Zone 2
—Continued
To control the AV receiver/AV amplifier with the remote
controller while you’re in the Zone 2 room, you’ll need
a commercially available multiroom remote control kit.
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/AV amplifier’s remote sensor,
such as when it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2
In this setup, the IR receiver in Zone 2 picks up the infra-
red signals from the remote controller and feeds them
through to the AV receiver/AV amplifier in the main
room via the connecting block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the AV receiver/AV amplifier’s IR IN jack,
as shown below.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals
from the remote controller and feeds them to the AV
receiver/AV amplifier located in the cabinet via the con-
necting block.
