Setting Up the RF Rod Antenna

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF (Radio Frequency) signal as well as IR (infrared) signal. The RF rod antenna can receive the RF signals emitted from the remote control. So, with the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver at a distance of up to 15 m (50 feet) using RF signals sent from this receiver (more than twice as far as when using IR signals). Moreover, RF signals can go through walls and other objects in the house so you need not aim at the receiver directly.

However, if the antenna cannot receive signals stably, you cannot operate the receiver correctly.

•The signal-reachable distance may differ depending on the operating conditions and circumstances. To improve transmitting conditions, change the distance to the receiver and the direction to transmit while operating the remote control.

•Without the RF rod antenna connected, you can operate the receiver with the remote control, aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the receiver.

The RF rod antenna and IR signal Transmitter

The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter (below) allows you to use the Multi-room function more conveniently.

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF signal and IR signal at the same time. This receiver catches the RF signals emitted from the remote control, and converts them into IR signals, then transmits the converted signals to the remote sensor on the other components through IR signal transmitter.

This means that you can control not only this receiver but also the other components from the sub-room.

Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter

The IR signal transmitter can transmit the IR signals.

It allows you to use the AV COMPU LINK system, and to operate other manufacturers’ components without aiming the remote control directly at the remote sensor on the target components. In addition, the IR signal transmitter reduces the possibility of malfunction.

• The IR signal transmitter may not operate the target components

depending on the operating conditions and circumstances—

including the aiming angle and direction of the IR signal

transmitter at the remote sensors of the target components. If

this occurs, changing its aiming angle and direction at the

remote sensors may solve the problem.

To set up the IR signal transmitter

1. Find the place where you attach the IR signal

transmitter.

• Place it where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the

target components directly (in the line-of-sight).

• If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long

enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

1.Insert the RF rod antenna to the RF REMOTE ANTENNA terminal.

2.Rotate the fixing nut to attach the RF rod antenna firmly.

Notes:

•To avoid a failure in the reception from the remote control, keep the connecting cables and the IR signal transmitter’ s cable away from the RF rod antenna.

•If your neighbour uses the same or similar RF remote control system, the receiver may happen to receive the RF signals sent from such an RF remote control system, which could cause your receiver to be operated unintentionally. If this happens, set the BAND selectors (both on the rear and on the remote control) to another band (either BAND 1 or BAND 2).

If the problem still persists, stop using the RF rod antenna and the remote control, and consult your JVC dealer or the nearest JVC Service Center.

2. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied)

to the IR signal transmitter.
