Current Audio IRCBR Troubleshooting guide

IRCBR User’s Installation Guide
The IRCBR Cabinet IR Receiver captures InfraRed
commands from your remote control and distributes
these on to an IRCB1X4 Connecting Block.
Installing the IR Link Pro
IR Table Top Receiver
How does the IR Link Pro work?
The IRCBR is intended for use in IR control systems
where the IRCB1X4 Connecting Block is within reach
of the 2-meter cable of the IRCBR IR Receiver, e.g.
when installing the IRCBR in a cabinet where the
controlled components are behind closed doors,
and the IRCBR Receiver can be located on top of the
cabinet, within line of sight of your remote control.
The IRCB1X4 sockets are colour coded for easy plug & play installation of the IR Receiver and IRME Series Emitters,
which have coloured jacks.
A typical system is shown in Fig. 1 below. Refer to this diagram and the procedure that follows when
making connections:
Locate the IRCBR IR Receiver in a location outside of the equipment cabinet or closet that will have a straight line-of-
sight view of your Hand Held Remote(s). The Receiver can be xed to the surface by using the double side tape pad
or via a slide on screw hole on the bottom of the unit.
Plug the red mini-plug of the IRCBR IR Receiver into the red labelled “IR RCVR” jack on the IRCB1X4 Connecting
Block.
