How to Use the Extender
1 How to Use the Extender
1.1 Introduction
Infrared (IR) remote controls do not work properly when obstacles between the remote
control and the audio/video devices disturb the operating signal. This problem can be
solved using
radio frequency (RF) as a carrier for IR commands. The Remote Control, in
combination with the Extender, can operate audio/video devices from virtually any location.
When the front blaster of the Extender cannot reach all devices or transmits with too much
power, you can use the included Single IR emitters. You can set up the
Single IR emitters in
two ways:
• The Single IR emitters
in combination with the front blaster.
When there is limited space around the IR receivers of the devices, for instance in a small
closet.
• The Single IR emitters instead of the front blaster.
When you want to transmit IR signals very accurately, you turn off the front blaster and
control the devices by using the Single IR emitters alone.
