How-to’s:

There are two means to make your source A/V equipment can be controlled well by existing remote control through IR remote control extender

  • To orient the receiver unit(401T) face to face the source A/V equipment, this would allow the converted IR signal which from receive IR remote control window be able to send to the source A/V equipment from panel.
  • Simply connect an IR extender accessory from receiver and locate this IR extender accessory near the source A/V equipment from panel.

Occasionally it may be difficult to even impossible to orient the receiver unit such that it can be seen (means face to face)by the A/V equipment you wish to control. Or perhaps you wish to remotely control A/V equipment’s in different location without re-orienting the receiver, in this case,, to use in extender accessory will be more convenient.

How to Use the IR Extender Accessory

The IR extender accessory was connected to the receiver through its own special connector plug. The extender accessory emits an IR signal, bathing your AV equipment with the remote signal. To use the IR extender accessory, follow the instruction below.

  • Plug the IR extender into the transmitter in rear panel
  • Orient the end of the IR extender so that it points in the general direction of the IR Sensors of the source AV equipment you wish to be controlled. Cut a length of provided fastener strip to secure the IR extender, which is always in its position.
  • Position the receiver so that your remote control signal can strike the IR window on the bottom front of the unit. To use your remote control, point it at the front of the receiver.
