Installation
• Place the IR Repeater Box on a flat surface in your entertainment cabinet orequipment closet (secure with the included adhesive ifnecessary)
• The IR RepeaterBcxshould be located within 2m or4m of
eaclh AN component (as this IS the length ofthe Dua l Output Em itter cables)
Impo r tant : Locate theIR "eye" of each AN component you wish to control.
~
• Ifyou can't easily locate the "eye", shine a light through the front panel ofthe
component; the eye is a small red disc, approximately 1/8'
in diameter.
• Once located, remove the backing from the emitter's clear tape and attach
each
IR Emitter to the IR"eye" of each AN component to be controlled.
• Please note that these are dual emittercables; the cable splits
in two, so two
components
can be controlled by each cable(fourcables included}.
• Connect
the plug from the IR Receiver to the IR Repeater Box
CD
• Find a location where theIR Receivercan rec.?ive IR signals from your remote control(s) and remove the backing from the tape and attaclh the IR Receiverto the surface;
the "eye"
is located in the tip of the IR Receiver and should be facing the area from which you will be using your remote control(s).
• Connect
the plug from the Dua l Output Emitter(s) to the IR Repeater Box.
• Make sure
the receiver is mounted at least one foot away from your television (to avo1d interference) and no lon ger than 2m or4m from the IR Repeater Box (as this is the length
of
the IR Receiver cable}.
• Suggested mounting locations include: on a she~. on an exposed part of an entertainment cabinet or behind a speakergri lle .
• Insert the
barrel plug end of the Plug~n Power Supply to the barrel plug port of the IR Repeater box and then insert th e plug end into a standard 11 0-240VAC outlet.
