Operating components not reached by the
remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)
If the remote controller signal does not reach the
TX-DS898 remote sensor
If the TX-DS898 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 for the infrared rays from the controller to
reach.
With this connection, select
“
Main
”
for the Hardware Setup
→
IR IN
Setup
→
Position setting in the Setup menu (see page 28).
If the 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 TX-DS898 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 TX-DS898 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
The following equipment (sold separately) is essential for
operation:
•
Onkyo
’
s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller
Extension System), or
•
Multiroom A/V distribution and control systems from Niles

to name a few
The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-DS898 from the
remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the
remote zone is physically separated. The diagram below shows how
to make the proper connections for the remote zone.
With this connection, select

Make connection as shown below. Do not plug the equipment into
the power source until the connection is complete.
