USING THE

IR/RF COMMAND CENTER

The Dolphin Remote Control (URC-9811) can
be used with an optional IR/RF Command Center
which receives radio-frequency (RF) signals from
the Dolphin, up to 100 feet away*.

Once it is set up, the IR/RF Command Center will
convert the RF signals into Infrared (IR) signals to
control your home theater devices.

NOTE: The Dolphin remote control transmits both an
IR and an RF signal simultaneously. It is your option
whether you want to install the IR/RF Command
Center for extended remote control range.

NOTE: The RF signal transmitted by the Dolphin
remote control only works with the IR/RF
Command Center.

Setting Up The IR/RF Command Center

1. Find a location several feet in front of your

home theater devices (TV, VCR, DVD, RCVR,
etc.). It should provide line-of sight access to
your equipment and a power outlet to plug in
the IR/RF Command Center.

2. Plug in the IR/RF Command Center’s power

cord and raise the telescoping antenna.

3. Position the IR/RF Command Center so

the black IR Lens is aimed at your home
theater devices.

4. To test the IR/RF Command Center, take the

Dolphin into another room in your home.
Select a device key (e.g., TV) and press it once.
Then press POWER once.

The device should turn on. If it does not turn
on, review the steps 1 through 3 and make the
necessary adjustments. Try step 4 again. If you
continue to have a problem, perhaps there is an
IR line-of sight problem. Try adding the IR Signal
Extension Cord. Also review the tips in Optimizing
IR/RF Command Center Reception.

Adding The IR Signal Extension Cord

Included with the IR/RF Command Center is an IR
Signal Extension Cord for use with a home theater
device that is not in direct line-of-sight of the IR/RF
Command Center.

If you are having problems remotely controlling
a home theater device from another room, try
performing the following installation:

1. Plug the 4' IR Signal Extension Cord into the

back of the IR/RF Command Center.
