TROUBLESHOOTING
Bad Connections or Wiring
If the connections or wiring are wrong, loose,
shorted or open, the system will not operate properly.
The symptoms could include: Power LED flickers or
is off, IR Test LED is continuously flickering or on
without any remote control use, intermittent
operation or no operation.
Solution: Systematically troubleshoot
the wiring by:
1. Testing your power supply connections.
2. Testing your receiver connections.
3. Testing your emitter connections.
4. Testing your cable for shorts and opens.
IR Saturation
Sometimes the emitter output can saturate the IR
receiving window of a component. When this
occurs, the IR command will not be executed. This
can occur on an intermittent basis when there is a
Plasma TV in the system.
Solution:
1. Remove the IR Blocking Cover if you are using one.
2. Turn on the Plasma TV, because this may be
contributing to the problem.
3. Relocate the IR Emitter approximately 1/2" away
from the IR Receiving window.
4. Some experimentation will be required to
determine the best location for emitter.
Note: Do not use an IR Blocking Cover if a
component is sensitive to IR saturation.
