Using the Remote Controller in Zone 2/3 and Multiroom Control Kits To control the AV controller with the remote controller while you're in Zone 2 or Zone 3, you'll need a commercially available multiroom remote control kit for each zone. • 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 controller's remote sensor, such as when it's installed inside a cabinet. 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 controller located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
