Rather than driving IR emitters, can the Global Caché iTach TCP/IP to IR outputs wire directly to the REM IN input on the RSP-1570 Surround Sound Processor?
Obviously, the outputs are meant to drive LEDs? Do the signals align with the processor’s expected inputs?
The iTach’s specification page says the connector is: “3.5mm stereo jack”.
The Rotel manual says:
REM IN Jacks Four 3.5 mm mini-jacks (labeled EXT, ZONE 2, ZONE 3, and ZONE 4) receive command codes from a third-party infrared receiver or Rotel remote zone keypad, These remote IR inputs are used when the IR signals from a hand held remote control cannot reach the front panel IR sensor.EXT: The EXT jack is used with an outboard IR receiver to duplicate the front panel IR sensor. This feature is useful when the unit is installed in a cabinet and the front panel sensor is blocked or when IR signals need to be relayed to other components.
…
Consult your authorized Rotel dealer for information on external receivers and the proper wiring of 3.5mm mini-plugs to fit the REM IN jacks.
Note: The IR signals from the REM IN EXT and REM IN ZONE 2–4 jacks can be relayed to source components using external IR emitters or hard-wired connections from the IR OUT jacks. See the following section for additional information.
Thanks for your help. There doesn’t seem to be information on the signals.
