Notes

•Components of the same type (e.g., Sony LD player) will be controlled simultaneously by the on-screen controls.

•If a component does not respond, it may be because IR codes from the IR emitter are not fully reaching the component. In this case, connect the extra IR repeater (supplied) and position it facing the component (see “Infrared (IR) Repeater Hookups” on page 6). If the IR repeater is already connected, change the position of the IR repeater or program source.
