1Connect the IR repeater to the device as described in the repeater’s manual.

2Connect the IR repeater cable(s) to the IR REPEATER OUT jack(s).

Notes

IR repeaters send a signal similar to the device’s own remote control. Xantech repeaters (models 282-00, 286-00, or 283-00) are compatible with your new audio-video receiver.

1Insert the jack of the provided RF remote antenna into the ANTENNA RF REMOTE jack.

2Distribute the antenna wire vertically and fix it.

Distribute the antenna away from the metallic panel.

Important notes

Here is list of adjustment which can maximize the operation of your remote control. For optimal operation of the remote control:

1Aim the remote control toward the room where the receiver is located.

2Do not position the receiver and remote control near metal (such as heat ducts). Metal can absorb RF signals.

3Make sure the batteries in the remote control are fully charged. Weak batteries will affect the range of the remote control.

4When there is an obstruction around other equipments that send signal from the remote control, the control distance of the RF remote signal will be short.

Note

The tests for range limits of the remote control and the receiver are conducted in open-air distance test. Actual distance of the signal will be based on the construction of the building the unit is being used in as well as other factors such as outside interference.
