Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or
shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub room remote
control in another room, 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.

RECOUT
input source. See
Making an audio or a video recording
on page 67 for more on this.

3 The tuner cannot be tuned to more than one station at a time. Therefore, changing the station in one room also changes the station in the other room.
Please be careful not to change stations when recording a radio broadcast.

5 • You won’t be able to switch the main room off completely unless you’ve switched off the multi-room control first.
• If you don’t plan to use the multi-room feature for awhile, turn off the power in both the sub and main rooms so that this receiver is in standby.
