Connecting the DVD player
—Continued
To control the DVD player with the remote controller
when DVD player is located in a cabinet, you’ll need a
commercially available multiroom remote control kit.
• Multiroom kits are made by Niles and Xantech.
These kits can also be used when control other compo-
nents.
Using a Multiroom Kit with a Cabinet
In this setup, the IR receiver picks up the infrared signals
from the remote controller and feeds them to the DVD
player located in the cabinet via the connecting block.
The miniplug cable from the connecting block should be
connected to the DVD player’s IR IN jack, as shown
below.
Using a Multiroom Kit with Other
Components
In this setup, an IR emitter is connected to the DVD
player’s IR OUT jack and placed in front of the other
component’s remote control sensor. Infrared signals
received at the DVD player’s IR IN jack are fed through
to the other component via the IR emitter. Signals picked
up by the DVD player’s remote control sensor are not
output.
The IR emitter should be connected to the DVD player’s
IR OUT jack, as shown below.
