CONFIGURATION 9 – IR REPEATING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTS
An IR Repeating System can be integrated into a room connected to the Niles A4.6Ci (see Figure 16). This enables
a single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control.
In Figure 16, a Niles IR Sensor is connected to a Niles IRP-6+ for control of local components and to a Niles
A4.6Ci for control of distributed components. A Niles SPK-1 Automated Speaker Level A-B Switcher switches
the front speakers in the master bedroom from the A4.6Ci distributed sound system to the local surround-sound
receiver system when the local system is activated. (See the Installation section of this manual for details on the
required connections for the IRP-6+ and the SPK-1.)
Important Note: Use of an identical brand and type component in both the local and the distributed system
(i.e., a Sony CD player in both systems) is not supported by this configuration. Individual operation of identi-
cal components may not be possible (refer to Connections section).
Audio signals for the shared source components are connected to the Home Theater receiver using the cascade
audio outputs.
