RC Antenna Hookups (STR-DE905G only)

Overview

This section describes how to connect the supplied RC antenna to the receiver. Since the remote controls the unit using radio frequency (RF) signals, you must connect the remote control (RC) antenna to the unit before you can use the remote commander.

For the specific location of the terminal, see the illustration below.

IR Repeater Hookups

Overview

This section describes how to connect the supplied extra infrared (IR) repeater to the receiver. The repeater emits infrared signals corresponding to those emitted by the remote controls supplied with the respective components. Connected this repeater to obtain additional coverage if you experience difficulty controlling a certain component using the receiver’s on screen display (OSD) control functions, or your installation prevents the repeater on the front panel from reaching all of the equipment you need to control. For the specific location of the terminal, see the illustration below.

To maximize RF signal transmission efficiency:

•Position the RC antenna perpendicular to the signal path of the remote (see below).

•Operate the remote within about 7 m of the RC antenna. If you have difficulty operating the on-screen display within this range, reposition the RC antenna for better reception.

•Keep the RC antenna at least 50 cm away from metallic objects.

Notes

•Use the supplied adhesive tape to secure the IR repeater so that its front faces the equipment to be controlled.

•If you experience trouble controlling the connected equipment, the infrared (IR) signals transmitted from the repeater may not be reaching the infrared receptor on the respective equipment. In such a case, reposition the IR repeater closer to that piece of equipment.
