I.R. Receiver


I have an Anthem Integrated 225 amp and on the back is a port called I.R. receiver that accepts an in and an out. Can someone explain to me what that is?

The manual has this: "External IR receivers allow the Remote Control to be used from other locations in your home. Once an IR receiver is wired to another room, connect it to I.R. RECEIVER IN. The signal can be linked to other components through I.R. RECEIVER OUT."

I don't really understand what that means. Does this mean that if I was in a different room than the amp, I would be able to use the remote control (that came with the amp) from that different room to control the amp? Like there'd be some box I could point the remote at and that box would be connected to the amp's I.R. Receiver port?

It is an abbreviation of infrared.

Try a WWW search of infrared, remote and why not your unit's model # as well.
