IR repeating concepts:
Most people are familiar with Infra-Red remote controls because they use
them to operate their TV and other devices on a daily basis. However,
some people may not be familiar with IR repeating. IR repeating allows
the user to control devices which are not within the direct line of sight of
the remote control. This is most commonly used in distributed audio/video
systems where the source components are centrally located. See How IR
repeating works on the next page for details.
IR zones:
Some IR systems, including the P-1205, are capable of creating zones that
only repeat the IR signals that are picked up by a particular receiver (or
group of receivers). This is useful when there are multiple devices from
the same manufacturer, such as satellite decoders, that are operated with
the same remote control. IR zones prevent one user from inadvertently
control a satellite decoder that someone else is trying to watch.

The P-1205 can also be mounted in a standard structured wiring enclosure
as shown below.

The diagram shown above, will create 2 IR zones that will allow for
independent control of identical devices from the same manufacturer.
The zone IR emitters will only respond to signals from the IR receiver
that is in the same zone. The global IR emitters will respond to
signals from any IR receiver in the system.
Point any
IR remote control
at the IR receiver
CD player
And the emitter
repeats the IR signal
in the other room.
Be sure the emitter is attached directly
over the component’s IR receiver.

Basic IR Setup
Whole-House IR Setup
A basic IR system, like the one shown below, is often used when
audio/video devices are stored inside a closed cabinet and are out of
the line of sight. The IR receiver is placed outside the cabinet so that
the remote control can be point directly at it. It will detect the IR
signals and route to the P-1205, which in turn sends them to the
emitter outputs.
Additional IR receivers
can be connected as
needed.

The diagram above illustrates how to create an IR system with IR
receivers in several different rooms in the house. Systems like this
may include several different styles of IR receivers depending on the
specific application in each room.
