Operating components not reached by the remote
controller signals (IR IN)
In order to use the remote controller to control the TX-SR701/
701E/601/601E from a remote location, you will need to prepare a
multi-room kit (sold separately) such as one of those given below:
• Onkyo’s Multi-Room System kit (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)
• Multiroom A/V distribution and control system such as those
from Niles
®
and Xantech
®
If the TX-SR701/701E/601/601E 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 where the infrared rays from the
controller can reach.
With this connection, select “Main” at “Hardware Config”
→ “IR
IN Position” (see page 55).
The IR IN input allows you to control the TX-SR701/701E/601/
601E from the remote zone (Zone 2) 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.
With this connection, select “Zone 2” at “Hardware Config”
→ “IR
IN Position” (see page 55).
