Connecting Components not Reached by the Remote
Controller Signals (IR IN/OUT)
In order to use the remote controller to control the
TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E from a remote location,
you will need to prepare a multiroom kit (sold sepa-
rately) such as one listed below:
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kits (IR Remote Con-
troller Extension System)
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such
as those from Niles ® and Xantech ®
RF Receivers can also be used with the remote controller
to control the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E from a remote
location. To use RF Receivers, set the Transmission Sig-
nal Format setting to “RF” (See page 141 for details).
Effective Sensor Layout
Example for the main room
If the TX-NR1000/TX-NR5000E 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 so that the infrared rays from the controller
can be sensed.
Example for the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3)
The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-NR1000/
TX-NR5000E from the remote zone (Zone 2/Zone 3)
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.
Making Sensor Connections
When you place the IR receiver in the main room,
connect the cable from the connecting block to the IR IN
MAIN terminal. When you place the IR receiver in the
remote zone, connect the cable from the connecting
block to the ZONE 2 or ZONE 3 terminal accordingly.
Make the connection as shown below. Do not plug any
equipment into the power outlet until all the connections
are complete.
