For the Extender to transmit an IR signal, you need to connect it to the A/V component via the
IR Output on the back of the Extender. In contrast to previous Marantz Extenders, the RX8001 has no
IR blaster.
To connect the Extender to A/V equipment, use one of the following cables enclosed with the
Extender:
