To control the AV receiver 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’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 infrared 
signals from the remote controller and feeds them through 
to the AV receiver in the main room via the connecting 
block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be 
connected to the AV receiver’s IR IN A or B jack, as 
shown below. The IR IN A and B jacks are identical. Up to 
two IR receivers can be connected.
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 located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Other 
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the AV 
receiver’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other 
component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals 
received at the AV receiver’s IR IN A or B jack are fed 
through to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals 
picked up by the AV receiver’s remote control sensor are 
not output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the AV receiver’s IR 
OUT jack, as shown below.
