Testing the Remote Control

Test that the hand-held remote control operates the component when you point it at the front panel (check the batteries if it does not).

Main System Unit Power Supply

Check that the red power light on the main system unit is lit (the in-line power supply should be plugged into an active AC wall outlet and supplying 12V DC).

Optical IR Feedback Loop

FIGURE 4 Mounting the IR blocking cover

Using the IR Blocking Cover

To prevent your A/V component from receiving IR commands from sources other than the MicroFlasher, the IR blocking cover should be used. The IR blocking cover is designed to cover both the MicroFlasher and the IR sensor window of the component. The blocking cover serves two functions:

1. It ensures that a component receives

IR signals solely from the MF1 or MF2.

Mounting the IR Blocking Cover

Make sure the mounting surface is clean before installing the blocking cover. You may improve the appearance by trimming the cover with scissors to exactly cover the remote sensor win- dow. Mount the blocking cover (using the self- adhesive tape) so that the MF1 or MF2 and the IR remote sensor window of the component are completely covered (Figure 4).

TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is an IR sensor and an IR flasher located within the same room—an “optical IR feedback loop” can occur. This occurs when the IR output from a flasher unintentionally reaches an IR sen- sor located within the same room. The IR com- mands are eventually forwarded back to the IR flasher and the whole process endlessly repeats itself. This effect is similar to acoustical feedback (the howling or whistling sound heard in a P.A. system when the microphone is placed too close to the speaker).

The optical IR feedback loop can be eliminated by one of the two following methods:

1.Place the IR blocking cover over the MicroFlasher.

2.Move the IR sensor to a different location.

If problems persist, refer to the user’s manual for the main system unit, contact your local Niles

(the off-axis power drops off very rapidly).
