The AIR3 features a 3.5mm plug for easy connection to IR distribution blocks, multi-
room controllers, etc.

Advanced IR Filtering Technology
The AIR3 features Advanced IR Filtering Technology that reduces IRI, CFL, EMI,
and ESI noise sources in addition to blocking plasma TV emissions. This means
that the AIR3 can be used in areas that receive substantial ambient noise such as
near plasma TVs or compact flourescent lights.
