Onkyo TX SR800 Owner Manual - Page 25

Operating components not reached by the remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT) In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-SR800 from a remote location, you will need to prepare 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® Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug in any equipment to the power outlet until all the connections are complete. Mini plug cable from connecting block If the remote controller signal does not reach the TX-SR800 remote sensor If the TX-SR800 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 can reach. With this connection, select "Main" for the Hardware Setup → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 42). IR IN Connectiong block IR Receiver TX-SR800 Remote controller In the cabinet : Signal flow The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-SR800 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 → IR IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 42). To IR IN TX-SR800 Connecting block IR Receiver Remote controller I R IN OUT TX-SR800 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-SR800 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-SR800 will not be output to the IR OUT terminal.
