Not sure what you are trying to do here.
In a link room you need the passive connnected to masterlink and the IR Eye. Otherwise you cannot turn the amp on or select a source and change volume.
In the same room as your audio source you can connect powerlink without masterlink. The audio sources powerlink socket (or TV powerlink) are connected via fully wired powerlink cable to the passive. When you activate the audio source the passive will turn on. In my case the IT eye was not needed.
Hope that helps
