Front panel
Remote Box S
There are no controls on the front panel of the Remote Box S. The four small transparent blue plastic domes in the middle
are the outlets for the very powerful infrared transmitter integrated into the unit. The opening to the right of them contains
the infrared receiver necessary for programming the control codes of devices from other manufacturers into the system.
Suggestions for placement
The Remote Box S can be positioned at the same place as the hi-fi system. The integrated infrared (IR) transmitter is very
powerful, therefore the front panel can point into the same direction as the other units of the hi-fi system. The infrared
signals coming from the Remote Box S will be reflected from the walls to the hi-fi system and even then strong enough to
be detected by their infrared receivers. In case the room is very big or its walls have a low reflection, it’s possible that the
IR signal is not strong enough and the controlled units are not able to receive it. Please place the Remote Box S in this case
with the front plate facing to the direction of the hi-fi system or use an external IR transmitter (available as accessory) which
can be placed invisibly and facing to the hi-fi devices.
Setting up the Remote Box S
For the setup of the Remote Box S a computer (Windows, Apple, or linux) with a Java installation, Internet access and the
access code for the Wireless lAn (WlAn) is necessary.
Installation of Java
