Connecting the DPC-8.5
—Continued
You can use the following multiroom kits to control the
DPC-8.5 when it’s out of range of the remote controller:
• Onkyo Multi-Room System (IR Remote Controller
Extension System)
• Multiroom AV distribution and control systems such
as those made by Niles and Xantech.
Controlling the DPC-8.5 When It’s Out of
Range
If the DPC-8.5 is located in another room, installed in a
cabinet, or is out of range of its remote controller, you
can use a commercially available IR receiver to pick up
the remote controller signals and feed them to the
DPC-8.5, as shown below.
Connect the IR receiver to the DPC-8.5 as shown below.
Controlling Other Out-of-range
Components
For another component that is out of range of its remote
controller, you can use a commercially available IR
emitter to retransmit the remote controller signals
received at the DPC-8.5’s IR IN, as shown below.
Connect the IR emitter to the DPC-8.5’s IR OUT, and
place the IR emitter in front of the other AV component’s
remote control sensor (usually located on its front
panel), as shown below. See the instructions supplied
with the IR emitter.
Only remote controller signals received by the
DPC-8.5’s IR IN are fed through to the IR OUT. Signals
picked up by the DPC-8.5’s remote control sensor are
not.
