Connecting the DVD receiver—Continued
To control the DVD receiver with the remote controller
when DVD receiver is located in a cabinet, 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 control other compo-
nents.
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 DVD
receiver located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the DVD receiver’s IR IN jack, as shown
below.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the DVD
receiver’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other
component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals
received at the DVD receiver’s IR IN jack are fed
through to the other component via the IR emitter. Sig-
nals picked up by the DVD receiver’s remote control
sensor are not output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the DVD
receiver’s IR OUT jack, as shown below.
