Step 3: Setup the IR blaster extender cable and IR sensor extender cable
The IR relays infrared commands from your remote control to your device.
Users can control their AV devices by pointing their remote control to the receiver or IR sensor
extender cable. (IR distance from remote to receiver / IR sensor cable is 30 feet line of sight.)
A: Transmitter
1. Plug the IR Blaster cable in to the IR “Out” jack of the transmitter.
2. Apply the IR blaster head directly over the eye of the IR sensor of your High Definition audio/
video device. This allows the remote control of your devices from another room when using
the wireless receiver.
B: Receiver
1. Place the wireless receiver out of sight
and use the IR Sensor extender for
remote control of your devices.
2. Plug the IR Sensor Extender cable into
the IR “IN” jack of the receiver and place
sensor on front of the TV for convenient
operation.
Note: In some instances, the IR sensor on your source device may be difficult to find. To
help simplify this process, cut a piece of cardboard to the same size as the front panel of your
source device and place a 1 inch hole in the middle of the cardboard. Power ON your source
device and play a movie or other video content. Place the cardboard hole over the left side
of the source device and using the source device’s remote control directly over the cardboard
hole, press the pause button repetitively while gradually moving the cardboard hole from left to
right making sure to keep the remote control’s beam directly over the cardboard hole. Once
the source device recognizes the pause button being pressed, you have located the position
of the remote control IR sensor on the source device and that is where you will place the IR
Blaster’s sensor. The IR sensor supports 38KHz, 47KHz and 56KHz (NEC, RC5, RC6) remote
signal protocol.
Note: Transmitter and source devices connected to the Transmitter within the local location
must all be in line of site for IR control.
