Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug in any equipment
to the power outlet until all the connections are complete.
If the remote controller signal does not reach
other components
In this situation, you will need to use a commercially available IR
emitter. Connect the mini plug of the IR emitter to the IR OUT
terminal on the TX-NR900/900E and then place the IR emitter on
the remote sensor of the component or facing it. When the IR emitter
is connected, only the signal input to the IR IN terminal is output to
the IR OUT terminal. The signal input from the remote sensor on the
front of the TX-NR900/900E will not be output to the IR OUT
terminal.
Operating components not reached by the
remote controller signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-NR900/
900E from a remote location, you will need to prepare a multi-
room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those
from Niles ® and Xantech ®
If the remote controller signal does not reach the
TX-NR900/900E remote sensor
If the TX-NR900/900E is located inside a cabinet or other enclosure
where the infrared rays from the remote controller cannot enter, then
operation with the remote controller will not be possible. In such a
case, it will be necessary to install a remote sensor at a location
outside of the cabinet for the infrared rays from the controller can
reach.
With this connection, select “Main” for the Hardware Setup → IR IN
Setup
→ Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 47).
The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-NR900/900E from the
remote zone (Zone 2) with the remote controller even though the
remote zone may be on the other side of the building from the main
zone. The diagram below shows how to make the proper connections
for the remote zone.
With this connection, select “Zone 2” for the Hardware Setup
→ IR
IN Setup → Position setting in the Setup Menu (see page 47).
