Multiple Zones

Chapter Tree: Setting Up Multiple Zones

Connecting the External Infrared Receivers and IR Repeaters, continued

Your new audio-video receiver supports the IR-9991 two-
way external infrared (IR) remote transceiver control. The
IR-9991 enables you to use the Receiver’s PowerTouch to
operate the receiver if it is:

in a stereo closet/cabinet

behind glass doors

in another zone

in any situation where the device to be controlled is not
visible

You can substitute Xantech (291-80, 480-30, or 490-30 se-
ries) IR receivers for the IR-9991. However, these devices are
one-way only, and will not supply system status feedback
to PowerTouch.

For more information about using external IR receivers in
another zone, see “Chapter Four: Setting Up Multiple Zones”
on page 49.

To Connect a KENWOOD IR-9991 IR
Receiver:

1. Connect the IR-9991’s IR IN cable to the Receiver’s IR

RECEIVER IN jack. This jack supports a 12V 20mA sig-
nal.

2. Connect the IR-9991’s IR OUT cable to the Receiver’s IR

OUT LCD REMOTE jack.

3. Connect an AC adaptor to the IR-9991. Do not plug the

adaptor into the wall until all connections are made.

To Connect any other IR Receiver:

1. Connect the IR receiver’s output cable to the Receiver’s

IR RECEIVER IN jack. This jack supports a 12V 20mA
signal.

2. (For some IR receiver)

Connect an AC adaptor to the IR receiver. Do not plug
the adaptor into the wall until all connections are made.

To Connect IR Repeaters:

IR repeaters enable you to control components located in
cabinets or behind glass doors. To connect repeaters:

1. Connect the IR repeater to the device as described in

the repeater’s manual.

2. Connect the IR repeater cable(s) to the Receiver’s IR RE-

PEATER OUT jack(s).

IR repeaters send a signal similar to the device’s own re-
mote control. Xantech repeaters (models 282-00, 286-00,
or 283-00) are compatible with your new audio-video re-
ceiver.
