wondering if anyone can help me with this problem that I have.

I am trying to program Parasound C1 setup that is on the other room with Mx3000. since C1 has a Ir line input in the back, I tried to use it, instead of glueing the IR blaster on the front panel ( Tney hang me for sure if I do that). The Command does not work using the Rear IR line in, but it work perfectly if I use the Ir blaster ( exact same configuration, RF address)
the only thing that I change is the line that I use ( Ir blaster -- perfect)
Using Line in does not work.

Anyone can help me with some advice for setting up the remote?

sorry, I meant IR emitter.
everything is exactly, the same configuration ( ID 1 port 1), the only different is the way the IR was transmitted. When I used the IR emitter it work flawlessly, but when I switched to line in ( I used both mono and stereo ), it just doesn't work.

any suggestion?

Don't know if you saw this in the instruction manual,

IR Inputs
These two jacks accept remote-control signals relayed, or “repeated” from remote IR receivers, or
sensors. Repeater systems extend the range of your remote-control handset, permitting it to control
the C 1 when it is installed in a cabinet with closed doors. Each of the two IR input jacks on the
C 1 is dedicated to control of a single zone.
The “Zone” IR input is used to operate the C 1 from the second (remote) zone, and commands
received through this jack affect only remote-zone operation.
The “Main” IR input affects only the local zone, enabling you to operate the C 1 if it’s mounted out
of sight in a cabinet or equipment closet, or from other rooms within the local zone. (Note: Position
the C 1 and any remote infrared sensors in the main room so that the beam from a remote-control
handset cannot reach both at once; otherwise, the C 1 may not respond correctly to the remote’s
commands. When positioning the C 1 and sensor, remember that infrared can be reflected, just as
other light wavelengths are.)

Hope this helps.

Essentially the only "IR In" ports that I have been able to get to work are Denon Products. All others just don't work for me.

I'm sure you tried switching polarity...i know it's basic but it gets us everytime. I have used IR in on a few different pieces, and even on the Parasound but it was from a Crestron control system.

If polarity isn't the issue, and you happen to have a Xantech (or other) IR repeating block kicking around, I'd send my IR to the block first, and then out from there to the Parasound...i bet it works then.

Anyone ever had any luck with the "IR in" port on any of the Kenwood Sovereign receivers? Just curious, would make switching the the 300 worth it to me. Thanks.
