Zone 2 —Continued
Using the 12V Trigger
When Zone 2 is turned on, the ZONE 2 12V TRIGGER
OUT outputs 12 volts (100 milliamperes max). By con-
necting this jack to the 12-volt trigger input on, say, a
power amp in Zone 2, that power amp will turn on and
off automatically as and when Zone 2 is turned on and
off on the AV receiver.
To use the remote controller to control the AV receiver
from Zone 2, you’ll need one of the following commer-
cially available multiroom remote control kits:
• Multiroom Kits such as those made by Niles and Xan-
tech.
These kits can also be used when the AV receiver is not
in line of sight of the remote controller, for example,
when it’s installed inside a cabinet.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Zone 2
In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the
infrared signals from the remote controller in Zone 2 and
feeds them to the AV receiver in the main room via the
connecting block.
• On the Remote Setup menu, set the IR IN Position set-
ting to “Zone 2” (see page 72).
Connect the miniplug cable from the connecting block to
the AV receiver’s IR IN jack as shown below.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In the following diagram, an IR receiver picks up the
infrared signals from the remote controller and feeds
them to the AV receiver in the cabinet via the connecting
block.
• On the Remote Setup menu, set the IR IN Position set-
ting to “Main” (see page 72).
