36 MULTIROOM OPERATIONS

Multiroom Operation

The AVR 520 is fully equipped to operate

as the control center for a multiroom system

with optional remote external infrared (IR) sen-

sors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although

some multiroom installations will require the

services of a specially trained installer, it is pos-

sible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to

install a simple remote room system.

Installation

The key to remote room operation is to link the

remote room to the AVR 520’s location with

wire for an infrared link and speakers or an

amplifier. For installation instructions for

Multiroom use, see page 16.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have

been made, the AVR 520 needs to be configured

for multiroom operation using the steps below.

quency or preset will also change the station

being listened to in the main room, if the tuner
