2. Control Connections & Settings
Control Connections - IR
There are two IR pathways into the V883 - the 3.5mm IR IN port on the rear and the
IR Receiver on the front. The IR OUT port passes out any IR signal that is sent to the
V883’s rear IR IN port or the front IR Receiver.
IR IN Port
Most ELAN multi-room applications will utilize the rear IR IN port for IR control. Use
a 3.5mm mono interconnect cable to connect between an IR OUT port (typically an
‘ALL’ port) of an ELAN multi-room controller and the IR IN port of the V883. In this
confi guration, any IR signal sent from any zone of the multi-room system will be sent
to the V883.

IR Receiver
Use the built-in IR Receiver located on the front of the unit when utilizing hand-held
IR remotes, IR distribution systems, or when it is otherwise not possible to connect
to the IR IN port. IR commands can be sent from a distance using a hand-held IR
remote or IR “blaster”. Use a standard IR mini-emitter placed directly over the
V883’s IR receiver when used in conjunction with most IR distribution networks.
