Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control
in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as
a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the
remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.
Note
•
Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a
strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
•
Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology.
Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for
IR compatibility.
Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN jack on the
rear of this receiver.
For more information on connecting the IR receiver, see the
Installation Instructions for the IR Receiver.
Switching components on and off using the 12
volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a
screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch on or
off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input function.
However, you must specify which input functions switch on
the trigger using the

that this will only work with components that have a standby
mode.

just by pressing the input function(s) you’ve set on
