PRODUCT OVERVIEW

another room. It mounts through a circular hole with a diameter of 0.5”, a
minimum clearance of 2.0” behind the face of the mounting panel, and will
mount in a panel with a maximum thickness of 1.75”.
FEATURES
• Comes with interchangeable white, black and brass bezels to easily
customize your installation.
• CFL friendly - allows installations in areas with compact fluorescent
lighting. Works in most lighting environments.
• Blue IR confirmation LED.
• Can easily be mounted in many in-wall speakers (such as Russound
Advantage® and Atmosphere) and custom cabinets.
• Wide band IR. Receives IR from many types of remotes.
BEZEL EXCHANGE
The SaphIR 862 Eye comes with three bezels (white, black, brass) for more
installation color choices.
To remove the bezel, hold the barrel steady and twist the bezel until it clears
the top of the barrel. Make sure the small clear dust cover stays in place at
the end of the barrel.
To replace the bezel, center the bezel over the dust cover and barrel, thread
onto the barrel end and twist until snug. The hole in the dust cover should
line up with the offset sensor at the top of the receiver.
