6.Using the Remote Control with Radio Frequency

Warning To use the Remote Control with radio frequency (RF) you need an RF-77 RF Extender, which is only included with the RC9200. It is an optional accessory for the RC5200.

By default, the Remote Control uses infrared (IR) signals to operate devices. This means that you have to point the Remote Control’s sending eye towards the device you’re operating. IR signals have an operating distance of 10 meters (33 feet).

You can choose to operate devices using radio frequency (RF) signals instead of

IR signals. RF signals have an operating distance of approximately 20 meters (66 feet) in house and can, unlike IR signals, go through obstacles like furniture or walls.

The RF signals sent out by

the Remote Control are picked up by the RF-77 RF Extender. The RF Extender translates the RF signals in IR signals and sends the IR signals to the appropriate device. Therefore, the RF Extender has to be placed near the device you’re operating with the RF Extender’s sending eye pointed to the device.

Your devices will always receive IR signals either directly from the

Remote Control or from the RF Extender.
