MRF-260BASE STATION

Testing

Test a few commands for each device before fixing the flasher in place on the front panel of a device.

Since TiVo, Replay TV, Satellite Receivers and Cable Boxes are all extremely sensitive to IR overload or saturation, you should test them thoroughly. Put up the on screen guide and test the navigation arrows. Compare operation via RF to the original remote control. Operation should be identical. RF is not slower. If operation is inconsistent or sluggish, lower the IR line output and/or reposition the flasher.

If you still have sluggish operation, check that the remote control is set to a particular LINE OUT, rather than ALL. When IR commands are sent to all the flashers in a cabinet, you can have difficulty adjusting the IR Output. Reprogram the remote control to send IR commands only via a specific (1-4) Line Output, then readjust the IR Line Output level.

Note: Remember, the MRF-260 will NOT respond if you select IR line outputs 5 or 6. The MRF-260 has only four IR Line Outputs.

1.Connect an IR emitter to each IR output and run the emitter wire to the front panel of each component. DO NOT STICK the emitter in place. ADJUST the level first.

2.Adjust each of the IR Output levels for best operation. If the component operates best at minimum level, but is still operating sluggishly or intermittently, move the emitter farther away from the components IR sensor.
