To maximize RF signal transmission efficiency:
• Position the RC antenna perpendicular tt> the signal path
of the remote (see below).
IR Repeater Hookups
Overview
This section describes how to connect the supplied
extra infrared (IR) repeater to the receiver. The repeater
emits infrared signals corresponding to those emitted
by the remote controls supplied with the respective
components. Connected this repeater to obtain
additional coverage if you experience difficulty
controlling a certain component using the receiv^er's on
screen display (OSD) control functions, or your
installation prevents the repeater on the front panel
from reaching all of the equipment you need to control.
For the specific location of the terminal, see the
illustration below.
Operate the remote within about 24 feet (about 7 m) of the
RC antenna.
If you have difficulty operating the on-screen display
within this range, reposition the RC antenna for better
reception.
Keep the RC antenna at least 20 inches (about 50 cm) away
from metallic objects.
Notes
• Use the supplied adhesix’e tape to secure the 11^ repeati*r
s(i that its tront faces the equipment to be controlled,
• If \’ou experience trouble a>ntrolling the connected
equipment, the infrared (IR) signals transmitted from the
repeater mav not be reaching the infrared recept<ir on the
respective equipment. In such a case, reposition the IR
repeater closer to that piece of equipment.
• "IK OUTPUT" in the SET UP menu should be set to OFF
wlien using the IR repeater. See page 43 for details.
