MULTI-ROOM APPLICATION
Another application is multi-room IR control. If an audio receiver is being used to
drive speakers in multiple rooms, it may be desirable to place an IR Receiver in
some or all of those rooms. In many cases, this same application can be used to
control the main zone and second zone of a two-zone A/V Receiver.
This will allow a user to turn the system ON/OFF with an IR remote via the IR
Receiver(s) in the remote room(s). The system can also be controlled from the main
room with an IR remote using the IR Receiver in the main room.
Installation combines the connections described in the previous
Single Room
and
Extending the Wire
sections. The Main Room IR Receiver gets connected
using the red, 3.5mm mini ‘IR RCVR’ jack on the 789-44 Connecting Block and
the multi-room receiver(s) get connected to the screw terminals on the Connecting
Block.
