Using the RF Rod Antenna and IR Signal Transmitter

The combination of the RF rod antenna and the IR signal transmitter 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 the IR signal transmitter.

This means that you can control not only this receiver but also other components from Zone 2.

The remote control supplied for this receiver can transmit both RF (Radio Frequency) signals as well as IR (infrared) signals. 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.

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.

To set up the RF rod antenna

Notes:

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.

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 1/2 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.

Setting Up the IR Signal Transmitter

The IR signal transmitter can retransmit 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.

1.Find a place where you can attach the IR signal transmitter.

Place the transmitter where the signal can reach the remote sensor of the target components in a direct line of sight.

If the cord length of the IR signal transmitter is not long enough, use an extension cord (not supplied).

2.Attach the double-sided adhesive tape (supplied) to the IR signal transmitter.
