Using Other Functions Multi-Room When used together with an optional IR receiver, this receiver is capable of outputting two different sources at the same time. One to the VIDEO OUT jack and SPEAKERS terminals and another to the MULTI ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks. Thus the VSX-49TXi can power two independent systems, in separate rooms, listening to or watching different sources. With this system the two rooms can have completely independent power (the main room power can be off while the sub room is on) and the sub room can be controlled by this unit's remote control. If you go into the main room to change the source but forget the remote control it's not a problem. While in MULTI ROOM mode the input selector on the front panel of the VSX-49TXi is able to change the input even though the receiver is off. MULTI-ROOM connections On the VSX-49TXi, connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE REMOTE IN jack, then connect a separate amplifier (and speakers) and TV monitor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks. All of this equipment should be placed in your sub-room as shown below. memo • When connecting the IR receiver, be sure to connect it to the green MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE REMOTE IN jack, not the black CONTROL IN or OUT jacks. • It is not possible to input digital signals into the sub room. If you wish to share output from a digital device to the sub room, you must also connect the digital device's source analog output into the receiver's input terminals. • You can't use tone controls (etc.) and any surround modes in the sub room. • If your i.LINK-equipped component cannot output both i.LINK and analog signals at the same time, and an i.LINK signal is selected in the main room, although it can be selected in the sub room, no sound is produced. Also, if a source component is selected for input in the sub room and the same component is then selected in the main room as an i.LINK source, the sound in the sub room stops.

Using Other Functions
Multi-Room
When used together with an optional IR receiver, this receiver is capable of outputting two different sources at
the same time. One to the VIDEO OUT jack and SPEAKERS terminals and another to the MULTI ROOM &
SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks. Thus the VSX-49TXi can power two independent systems, in separate
rooms, listening to or watching different sources. With this system the two rooms can have completely
independent power (the main room power can be off while the sub room is on) and the sub room can be
controlled by this unit's remote control. If you go into the main room to change the source but forget the remote
control it's not a problem. While in MULTI ROOM mode the input selector on the front panel of the VSX-49TXi is
able to change the input even though the receiver is off.
MULTI-ROOM connections
On the VSX-49TXi, connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE REMOTE IN jack, then
connect a separate amplifier (and speakers) and TV monitor to the MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO
OUT jacks. All of this equipment should be placed in your sub-room as shown below.
When connecting the IR receiver, be sure to connect it to the green MULTI-ROOM & SOURCE
REMOTE IN jack, not the black CONTROL IN or OUT jacks.
It is not possible to input digital signals into the sub room. If you wish to share output from a digital
device to the sub room, you must also connect the digital device
s source analog output into the
receiver
s input terminals.
You can't use tone controls (etc.) and any surround modes in the sub room.
If your i.LINK-equipped component cannot output both i.LINK and analog signals at the same time,
and an i.LINK signal is selected in the main room, although it can be selected in the sub room, no
sound is produced.
Also, if a source component is selected for input in the sub room and the same component is then
selected in the main room as an i.LINK source, the sound in the sub room stops.
