22CONFIGURATION 9 – IR REPEATING FOR CONTROL OF LOCAL COMPONENTSAn IR Repeating System can be integrated into a room connected to the Niles A4.6Ci (see Figure 16). This enablesa single IR Sensor (installed in that room) to control local components with a hand-held IR remote control.In Figure 16, a Niles IR Sensor is connected to a Niles IRP-6+ for control of local components and to a NilesA4.6Ci for control of distributed components. A Niles SPK-1 Automated Speaker Level A-B Switcher switchesthe front speakers in the master bedroom from the A4.6Ci distributed sound system to the local surround-soundreceiver system when the local system is activated. (See the Installation section of this manual for details on therequired connections for the IRP-6+ and the SPK-1.)Important Note: Use of an identical brand and type component in both the local and the distributed system(i.e., a Sony CD player in both systems) is not supported by this configuration. Individual operation of identi-cal components may not be possible (refer to Connections section).Audio signals for the shared source components are connected to the Home Theater receiver using the cascadeaudio outputs.SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONSTVINFRAREDSENSORKNO CKOUTINFRAREDSENSORKNO CKOUTINFRAREDSENSORKNO CKOUTINFRAREDSENSORKNO CKOUTINFRAREDSENSORKNO CKOUTL RAUDIO VIDEODSS PHONEDIGITALL RAUDIO VIDEODVDDIGITALL RAUDIOCDDVDVideo 3Video 2Video 1VIDEO FRONTLLRDIGITAL12 RCENTERREARLR12VD.C.Niles IRP-6+Niles SI-1260Niles Keypads / IR SensorZone 6 – Master BedroomDistributed Equipment LocationRearSpeakersCenterLeftFrontRightFrontNiles SPK-1Plugged intoSwitched AC outletUnswitchedAC OutletPowerSupplyFigure 16
