Place IR emitters so the signal c an be “seen” by the IR
sensor on each device.
IMP ORTA NT
Position IR emitter s so that each device’s
sensor “sees” the sig nal from only one emitter.
Otherwise, a devi ce receiving signals from
multiple sources (r emote controls, IR emitter s)
may not respond at all.
