MULTI ROOM
To use this receiver with a MULTI ROOM setup you need an external IR receiver.
When used together with an IR receiver (not included), this receiver is capable of outputting two different
sources at the same time. One to the VIDEO OUT jack and SPEAKERS terminals and another to the MULTI
ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO OUT jacks. Thus the VSX-45TX can power two independent systems, in
separate rooms, listening to or watching different sources. With this system the two rooms can have
completely independent power (the main room power can be off while the sub room is on) and the sub room
can be controlled by this unit's remote control. If you go into the main room to change the source but forget the
remote control it's not a problem. While in MULTI ROOM mode the input selector on the front panel of the VSX-
45TX is able to change the input even though the receiver is off.
MULTI ROOM connections
On the VSX-45TX, connect the IR receiver sensor to the MULTI ROOM & SOURCE REMOTE IN jack, then
connect a separate amplifier (and speakers) and TV monitor to the MULTI ROOM & SOURCE AUDIO and VIDEO
OUT jacks. All of this equipment should be placed in your sub-room as shown below.
• When connecting the IR receiver, be sure to connect it to the green MULTI ROOM & SOURCE RE-
MOTE IN jack, not the black CONTROL IN or OUT jacks.
• It is not possible to input digital signals into the sub room. You must use an analog signal.
• You can't use tone controls (etc.) or any surround modes in the sub room.
